Preview: Prison Break's Shocking Season Finale! | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 2/17/2008
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 read more
Prison Break Returns: Upcoming Secrets Revealed! | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 1/14/2008
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 .. read more
Ask Matt | 11/5/2007
I have been a fan of Prison Break since it began. It was a show that had me on edge, especially last season. I think Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell play their characters well and I have had a love/hate relationship with some of the other characters as well. But after the tasteless act of having Lincoln find Sara's head in a box, I wonder where this show is really going. And what are these rumors about a possible Prison Break spin-off, with one of the new characters and set at a women's ... read more
We'll Get You Through the Week! | Prison Break | 10/29/2007
by Matt Webb MitovichPrison Break isn't on this week, but you can still get your fix with this exclusive interview with the show's resident bad girl.Thus far on Fox's Prison Break (Mondays at 8 pm/ET), it would seem that the "B." in Company operative Susan B. Anthony's name stands for "beyotch." But perhaps there is a method to her meanness? Indeed, TVGuide.com confirmed just as much in this Q&A with Jodi Lyn O'Keefe.TVGuide.com: I was a bit nervous readying to talk to you, but Dominic Purcell assured me you're not nearly as fierce as Susan B.Jodi Lyn O'Keefe: No, I'm not at all. I'm actually a pretty big pushover.TVGuide.com: How familiar were you with Prison Break before joining the series?O'Keefe: I was a huge fan so it's pretty unnerving to be a cast member now...read more read more
Michael Plans a Broad Daylight Prison Break! | Prison Break | 10/23/2007
Episode Recap: "Interference"It was an... interesting episode. Some starts and stops for Michael's plan. Michael's plan to bust out of prison. Michael's plan to bust out of prison in the middle of the day. By running for the fence.OK....Anyway, Michael had just worked out the guards' two weaknesses — the inability to buy sunglasses, and a borderline unhealthy compulsion to watch Southern American sporting events — when the bulls showed and locked up his birdwatching perch. In the end, though, crazy Mahone came through with The Cup. Turns out that the guard who looks like (is?) Tony Robbins simply has to have his java, and in fact downs it and drops his cup in... the same... place. Every day. Now, the boys realize, they just need to get to Hurtado's joe and, I'm guessing, drug it?On the outside, Lincoln and Sofia scouted out escape routes and — I'll say it — found some sparks along the way. Dominic Purcell hinted at that in my (blatant plug alert) video Q&A... read more
