‘Friday Night Lights’ Season 5 DVD released
It’s true, most of us haven’t yet seen Season 5 of the critically-acclaimed (and locally-shot) DirecTV/NBC family football drama, “Friday Night Lights.” The final season has already aired on the satellite provider, but doesn’t hit NBC until April 15th.
That didn’t stop Universal Studios from releasing “Friday Night Lights: The Fifth and Final Season,” a three DVD set, on Tuesday. The package includes all 13 episodes of the show’s stellar final season, stills from the entire series run and a 30-minute wrap-up — “As the Lights Go Out,” which is likely to give fans’ tear ducts a Dillon Lions-level workout.
You could just watch from week to week for free on NBC, and for many of you who can’t stomach the thought that the show is coming to an end and want to prolong the final season, that’s the way to go. But the DVD set (list priced at $34.98 but available all over at discount) is there for those who just can’t wait.
Are you going to rush out and buy it now or wait until it hits network TV in a week and a half? Sound off in the comments below.
