After four pretty decent seasons, PRISON BREAK is getting the axe from Fox. It'll finish the season with six more episodes, closing out the series.
I'm going to miss it. I've really enjoyed the series but I understand why they're ending it now, it's pretty much ran it's course, but I'll still miss it.

I still watch it out of obligation ... I know it's TV and all, but it gets way too out there for me sometimes. | Oliver

Also, ending a show strong is better than letting it run until nobody cares anymore. Drew Carey show, anyone?

| #5 Posted on 17.1.09 0254.35 | Instant Rating: 5.06 | I read somewhere that the writers originally intended for only two seasons of the show. The ratings for the show were so good, though, Fox told them to stretch it out to keep it going. If you go back and watch some of season 2 I think you can see writing that supports this as they started killing off characters willy-nilly.
The show isn't as strong now but it's still appointment TV for me. Great concept, pretty good execution throughout. I'll miss it. T-Bag (especially during the first three seasons) remains one of the best characters in TV history.

p.s. - What ever happened to that Prison Break "Cherry Hill" spinoff?? The one with the women's prison? |
