Those of you with DirecTV service, I'm jealous. You get first dibs on "Friday Night Lights." Those of us without such a cable provider will have to wait until April when the show airs on NBC.

One of the best television shows that no one seems to watch except critics and smart television viewers, "FNL" begins its fifth and final season on Wednesday night. Season 4 ended with Coach Taylor, played by Emmy Award-nominated Kyle Chandler (finally!), leading East Dillon to a thrilling Thanksgiving Day win.

Here's a little video sneak peek at how Season 5 kicks off.
