Friday Night Lights
Small-town Texas life is brought into sharp focus in Friday Night Lights. This show isn't just for fans of high school football games (which take place under the stadium lights on Friday nights, thus the title); more than anything, it's about family, friendship and the strong sense of community in tight-knit Dillon, Texas. One of the critics' darlings of the past year, this series may show you a slice of America you never knew existed — or one that's as familiar as your own back yard. Extras on the five-disc set include a featurette on the making of the final episode, as well as commentary and deleted scenes.
And, hell, if I'm going to pimp, let me pimp

Heroes:
The first season of this fan favorite comes out today simultaneously in DVD and HD DVD formats, so whatever your tech capabilities, you can follow along while seemingly ordinary people start to discover their own extraordinary abilities. The superb ensemble cast includes Masi Oka as Hiro, the Japanese computer geek who can bend the space-time continuum; Ali Larter as Niki, the single mom with a sinister mirror personality; Hayden Panettiere as Claire, the cheerleader with an uncanny ability to heal; and Greg Grunberg as Matt, the cop who can hear others' thoughts. Both the DVD and the HD DVD sets feature seven discs, with lots of extras, among them the unaired 73-minute extended pilot episode, with commentary from series creator Tim Kring; secrets of the show's special effects; a test to uncover your own inner hero; and 50 deleted and extended scenes. The HD DVD also offers special web-connectivity options, like downloadable trailers and Heroes updates.
