Friday Night Lights shines brighter than ever as the critically acclaimed series arrives in a 4-disc collection in 5.1 surround sound! From producers Brian Grazer (The Da Vinci Code), Peter Berg (The Kingdom), and Jason Katims, and inspired by the best-selling book and hit film, Friday Night Lights provides a heartfelt look at the families, friendships, and faiths of residents in a closely knit Texan town. Featuring an incredible ensemble cast, this intense and compelling show has critics saying "there is no finer or truer drama on network TV" (Matt Roush, TV Guide).
"The series transcends genre, it combines elements of teen drama, teen romance, adult drama, sports, and probably a few others." Chris Beaumont, Draven99's Musings
"...unlike anything else on television...a slick, high quality production with strong acting and a compelling drama..." Peter Brown, If Magazine
"...heartfelt drama...one of the best-acted, best-written, best produced shows on television." USA Today
Editor's Note
Football is one of the most popular sports in America, but in Texas it's closer to religion. This Emmy Award-winning show uses the game as a focal point for each episode's structure--but the gridiron action often takes the backseat to the more pressing issues of life in Middle America. The real star of the show is the fictional town of Dillon, a place that represents the struggle of hardworking yet flawed human beings getting through another year of life in a small town. The local team, the Panthers, may be headed for the top, but can their coach (EARLY EDITION's Kyle Chandler) and the players keep it together as the pressure of their personal lives threatens to knock them down? This collection presents the second season of the documentary-style series.

"Kyle Chandler still says more with a few words than most actors say with a monologue." -- Grade: B 05/01/2008 p.106Variety 8 of 10
In pigskin-crazy Texas, a coach saying "It's only football" is strictly a joke, recalling the old line about a big game not being life or death, "It's more important than that." Peter Berg directed the feature "Friday Night Lights" and has brought its ethos to TV mostly intact, crafting a serialized soap around the local high school team, whose first-year coach labors under an entire town's expectations. Earnest, beautifully shot and perhaps more organically religious than anything else in primetime, the series will have its fans..."Friday Night Lights" ultimately feels like one of those family programs middle America and conservatives pine for that too few of them actually bother to watch -- a portrait of decent, God-fearing folks wringing joy from America's game as an escape from their hardscrabble lives. - Brian Lowry
