Friday Night Lights on DVD

Friday Night Lights: The Complete First Season came out on DVD today. Target, Best Buy, and Amazon all have it for $19.99 this week. That's $20 for 22 episodes... a serious bargain!

Do me a favor and check this show out. It's a critically acclaimed yet under-watched show that has some of the best acting and writing I've seen on TV in a long while. Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton stand out in particular for their impeccable portrayals of Coach and Mrs. Taylor.

And don't worry if you're not a fan of football, there's not a hell of a lot of game time in the episodes, but when there is, it's hold-your-breath exciting and suspenseful.

If you don't want to buy it, rent it. Season 2 starts this fall, moving to Fridays (finally!) on NBC.
