'Friday Night Lights' Series Finale Leaves Twitter Folk All Emotional
By Torie Bosch - AOL NewsExcuse us for a second -- Surge Desk is a little choked up. That's because the series finale of "Friday Night Lights" aired Wednesday night on DirecTV. The show's ratings were never in Top 10 territory, but critics and fans were devoted to the show, which was as much about a community as about football. "Friday Night Lights" came close to cancellation in 2008 but was saved by a unique deal, brokered before the third season, in which DirecTV helped pay for the series and, in exchange, was able to air episodes months before NBC. That deal means, too, that Wednesday night's finale was ...
