It's currently airing on DirecTV, and it will be released on DVD on April 5, but Friday Night Lights will eventually make it to NBC for its fifth and final season.

In fact, the network has just announced a premiere date for the beginning of the end in Dillon, Texas: new episodes will air Friday nights at 8 p.m., starting on April 15.

This is how we'll feel when Friday Night Lights concludes.

TV Fanatic spent awhile debating the best way to cover the unique airing of this incredible show, and we've chosen to treat it like any other NBC series.

Therefore, starting with the April 15 premiere, you can look forward to in-depth Friday Night Lights reviews on a weekly basis, complete with the latest quotes, photos, analysis and more. Bring a box of Kleenex. It's gonna be an emotional ride.
