The show ends on NBC on Friday night but will live on in cable repeats.

ESPN Classic has picked up the repeats of the five-season series, which has been lauded for its realistic depictions of football, family and life in the heartland. After a Season 1 marathon on Thursday and Friday, the episodes will be shown on Thursday nights beginning July 21. They will also be broadcast on the Longhorn Network, an ESPN channel for Texas sports that starts in late August.

As a welcoming gift of sorts, the main ESPN channel will show the first two episodes of &8220;Friday Night Lights&8221; on Tuesday at 8 and 9 p.m. Connor Schell, who oversees ESPN Classic, said the show would enhance the channel&8217;s &8220;mix of long-form sports storytelling,&8221; adding, &8220;We see this as an opportunity to deliver the series to a whole new audience.&8221;

The final episode of the series will be broadcast by NBC on Friday.

The Shirley Sherrod saga continues, with this round being fought on the unlikely ground of CNN. Andrew Breitbart was a guest on an unusually spirited episode of John King, USA tonight, standing his ground that the story is the NAACP and.

In what was probably the most contentious discussion in the history of the show, John King took a stab at debating Andrew Breitbart and holding him accountable for releasing the tape that got Sherrod fired. Breitbart extensively detailed why he believes the story is exclusively about the NAACP and not about Sherrod&8217;s case specifically: &8220;this tape is about the NAACP. It&8217;s raison d&8217;etre is about non-discrimination. And when Shirley Sherrod is talking there, in which she expresses a discriminatory attitude towards white people, the audience responds with applause and the NAACP agrees with me. And it rebuked her and the audience.&8221; He also says there are more tapes coming up, with even more racism, and that despite the NAACP agreeing with Breitbart on this point, the Sherrod case in the tip of the iceberg.

King challenged Breitbart on the point that the Sherrod tape was taken out of context, and that it is, in large part, Breitbart&8217;s fault for releasing the tape that she lost her job. &8220;I did not ask for Shirley Sherrod to be fired,&8221; he repeated several times, &8220;I did not fire her.&8221; He also responded that he thought &8220;she should have the right to defend herself,&8221; but whenever King brought up the fact that the tape was posted on his website, Breitbart repeated, &8220;This is not about Shirley Sherrod.&8221;

At another point when King questioned Breitbart&8217;s methods, Breitbart turned on him and CNN, skeptical of whether the fact that the story Sherrod tells happened two decades before, as has been affirmed:
