Another Mill Creek Universal release. No word on music edits or whether these will be the NBC versions or the DirecTV versions, though.

[Doctor Jack]

To me, along with Six Feet Under, the finest show ever produced.

[sancho]

This is good news. Very good show...IMO.

[CouncilSpectre]

Ok, you just made my year.

So happy.

[ElectricPeterTork]

When the Mill Creek/Universal deal was announced a year or two ago, I figured FNL would be one of the shows that came to Blu, since it's a relatively new show that was shot in HD and no real work would have to be done to get it in shape.

Glad to see I was right, eventually. I'm looking forward to the release.

[Hoke Moseley]

Texas forever!

[Belloche]

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose ! Great news.

[Bates_Motel]

Terrible news. Mill Creek will once again most likely shaft and discriminate against the hard of hearing by failing to include subtitles tracks that already exist. I guess there's a chance they will do the set right, but my guess is they won't. If so, I will happily eat my words.

Day 1. Loved this show! Can't wait for it.

Being a Football coach myself, it was really fun to watch this show, and I've been wanting to re-watch it for a while now so this is perfect.

[MTRodaba2468]

Glad to see this get a release.

[Hazel Motes]

Ranks in the top 3 of my favourite one hour drama shows ever. Awesome news.

As someone who has never seen the show, may I ask what's the difference? And which version(s) is(are) available on iTunes, Netflix, etc...?

Holy moly gotta pick this up

[The Great Owl]

I really loved the first season of Friday Night Lights, but I never did watch the subsequent seasons.

I'll pick this up at some point in the future, after I clear out some of my still-unwatched television shows on Blu-ray.

You should definitely finish it; it has one of the best endings of any show I've ever seen. It's one of my top three favorite shows.

[WorkShed]

Season Two gets rough around the edges, but Season 3-5 are gold. Amazing finale.

Folks, no other label BUT Mill Creek would be releasing this on Blu, it's this or nothing (and complaints of MC's Blu-rays are hyperbolic on the whole)

Pretty much.

It's like the wailing and gnashing of teeth over Batman: Mask of the Phantasm coming from the Warner Archives. It's not like these films and shows are going to get a major, ballyhooed release to every store in the land but these mean old niche labels are holding them hostage. It's this or nothing.

Now, if FNL winds up without subtitles, that is a major disappointment and disservice. But the disc and picture quality will be the same from MC or Uni, and Uni doesn't think the show is profitable enough for them to release.

It's one of the few shows that I can remember, where they go through heavy cast rotation, and the quality never drops. There's an argument to be had that the cast that the show ends with is even better than the one it started with.

It's a truly great show that deserved far more success than it got.

Never watched this while it was on TV, but interested in finally catching up with it. Will probably order assuming MC does a halfway decent job.
