Check out these videos and photos of the Friday Night Lights TV series cast reunion tailgate party, at the ATX Television Festival. Friday Night Lights premiered on NBC in 2006 and was cancelled after five seasons. Connie Britton (Tami Taylor) made a surprise visit. Her Nashville TV show was cancelled by ABC after four seasons, then renewed by CMT the day prior to the gathering. Kyle Chandler (Coach Eric Taylor) was unable to attend, but Executive Producer Jason Katims was on hand.
Other Friday Night Lights alumni present include: Zach Gilford, Gaius Charles (Brian “Smash” Williams), Scott Porter (Jason Street), Adrianne Palicki (Tyra Collette), Jesse Plemons (Landry Clarke), Matt Lauria (Luke Cafferty), Dora Madison (Becky Sproles), Brad Leland (Buddy Garrity), Stacey Oristano (Mindy Riggins), Derek Phillips (Billy Riggins), Kevin Rankin (Herc), Katherine Willis (Joanne Street), and Louanne Stephens (Grandma, i.e. Mrs. Saracen).

What do you think? What do you most miss about the Friday Night Lights TV show? How do you imagine a Friday Night Lights reunion movie playing out?
I would LOVE a reunion movie, at least! It opens with an outdoor, sunset wedding on the lawn of the house Tim built….Tyra walking down the aisle…to marry Tim!! He’s successful in TX real estate, she’s a real estate attorney! Coach Eric works with the PA Eagles, Tami is Dean of students at the PA college. (I have the entire script in my head!!) LOL Clear eyes, full hearts…!!
