ABC Family to Air 'Friday Night Lights' Reruns

Are you ready for some football? ABC Family is.

The alphabet net's cable cousin has acquired the rights to all five seasons of the fan-fave-yet-ratings-challenged 'Friday Night Lights' and will begin airing them in September, according to The Wrap.

As fans of the Kyle Chandler drama know only too well, 'FNL' began its complicated broadcast journey back in 2006 on NBC. Then, in 2007, after the one-two punch of a ratings-soft/writers'-strike convoluted season, NBC and DirecTV arrived at an expense-saving deal that gave the satellite company's 101 Network the right to air new episodes before they were broadcast by the peacock. That deal has been in place ever since, with NBC currently airing the 13 episodes from season 4 that aired earlier this year on DirecTV.

Season 5's final 13 eps will be shot this summer and will run on DirecTV and NBC beginning later this year.

A spokesman for NBC told eonline that they're "Excited" about the news and hope that the exposure will turn more people on to the show.

What do you think? Will the reruns make even more girls fall in love with Taylor Kitsch's Tim Riggins (even though he's not a season regular for the final year) or is it too late for this great show that never really got a chance?
