Friday Night Lights began airing on NBC in the fall of 2006. It gained a loyal follower base from the start. For five seasons, the TV series entertained viewers everywhere.

After airing 76 episodes the drama came to an end in February of 2011 with the series finale "Always."

Many fans were sad to say goodbye to the series.

What was 'Friday Night Lights' all about

When Friday Night Lights first premiered it became an instant hit. The storylines of the people who lived in the small Texas town known as Dillon immediately captivated the viewers with the drama surrounding the community and Dillon High's football team.

The series begins with Coach Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler) taking over the beloved football team. Throughout season one Taylor learns how to best handle the issues his players and his family encounter in this tight-knit community. Season one concludes with Taylor successfully leading the team to a state championship.

Despite his success with Dillon's football team, Coach Taylor takes a position coaching at a college level at Texas Methodist University. Even though it is a great opportunity, Taylor finds himself unable to stay away from Dillon.

In Season 2, he returned to his wife, Tami (Connie Britton), and his daughter Julie (Aimee Teegarden) and worked on getting his old position back. The audience continued to learn more about the intricate stories of characters like Smash Williams (Gaius Charles) and Matt Saracen (Zach Gilford).

New characters would be added over the course of the next few seasons, but no matter what, the show always did a phenomenal job of demonstrating the struggles of navigating the final years of high school and preparing for what's next.

On the other end of the spectrum, Friday Night Lights showcased the risks and battles the older characters faced from starting new careers to supporting their significant others.

It is no wonder the show was so popular while on the air.
