Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller, Prison Break
Michael Scofield has been here before — almost. The first season of Fox's Prison Break (Mondays at 8 pm/ET, Fox) culminated in the tattooed hero's carefully planned escape from an American penitentiary, but this season, the stakes have been raised: Can Michael (played by Wentworth Miller) bust the mysterious Whistler out of Sona, the hellish Panamanian jail, along with a crew of backstabbing inmates — and rescue his nephew at the same time? And is delivering Whistler to The Company's diabolical agent Susan B. Anthony really going to save anyone?
"It is taking all my wherewithal to keep from spilling the beans," says Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, who plays Susan.
The season's 13th and (possibly) final episode, airing tonight, ratchets up the action in true Prison Break fashion — by toying mercilessly with its char

Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell, Prison Break
Even by Prison Break (Mondays, 8 pm/ET, Fox) standards, the plot twist that brought the fall mini-season to a close in November was a stunner. The seemingly saintly Whistler (Chris Vance), whom Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) had been trying to free from jail since the start of the season, appeared to be in cahoots with mysterious villain Susan (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe).
The Whistler bombshell, coupled with the shortage of new programming due to the writers' strike, makes Prison Break's Jan. 14 return all the more enticing. A five-episode run (possibly more if the strike is resolved soon) will give audiences their escapist fix well into February sweeps.

Wentworth Miller, Prison Break
Prison Break's heartthrob Wentworth Miller talked with TV Guide about the new season (airing Mondays at 8 pm/ET, Fox), how he keeps up with the villains and the possibility of a happy ending.
TV Guide: What's it like being back in jail after a season on the run?
Wentworth Miller: I think it adds something to the show. The first season had a claustrophobic feel, an intimacy — like a space you wanted to break out of. The second season, you never knew what you were going to get, which served the series.
TV Guide: Is it hard being on a show that reinvents itself each season?
Miller: That's the good news. I love shows like Law & Order and The Closer, p

David Hyde Pierce, Bette Midler and Marcia Wallace do The Simpsons
After 18 seasons and 400 episodes, Fox's The Simpsons (Sundays at 8 pm/ET) has attracted more than 350 celebrities to offer their voices to animated doppelgangers. Some have played themselves (Steve Buscemi, anyone?), some new characters (Reese Witherspoon as Rainier Wolfcastle's daughter, for instance), some old characters (Kiefer Sutherland and Mary Lynn Rajskub, who reprise their roles from 24 on May 20) — and in one instance, a mix (Elizabeth Taylor played herself and voiced Maggie's first word). Throughout, producers have attract

Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller, Prison Break
When your show is called Prison Break, the first season finale sort of writes itself. But now, a season later, what can you do for an encore? Not so tough, says the show's creator and executive producer, Paul Scheuring — just toss out the formula. Again. "The era of the running man is over," he declares about the finale (airing tonight at 8 pm/ET, on Fox).
Meanwhile, brothers Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) still have to complete the final step of Michael's latest plan: Get to Panama and sail off into the sunset with a bag of millions. But first they will have to contend with a few old friends. "This thing catapu
