HouseA House from the first season that I hadn't seen? What a nice treat for the second night of Hanukkah. Especially since the episode featured a pre-Prison Break Dominic Purcell as an adoring husband who discovers that he's being cuckolded when his wife ends up with a potentially fatal and sexually transmittable disease. Great to see him out of the orange jumpsuit, but I swear he slipped into his Australian accent just once... not that I'm complaining all that much — I love a good accent. Also just love the way that Dr. House can get away with saying just about anything, no matter how politically incorrect. For example, while he's "riding" Eric: "Has it been worse lately? That rules out the race thing, because you were just as black last

Patricia Wettig
Patricia Wettig was a loyal cancer-stricken wife in thirtysomething, an upright judge in Courthouse and a principled CIA shrink in Alias. But boy, has she switched gears for Fox's freshman hit, Prison Break (Mondays at 9 pm/ET). At first seen only in shrouded shots chopping garlic and slicing peppers, she was recently revealed to be not only the evil power behind all the intricate plots and mayhem, but the country's vice president! What is going on here?

Prison Break
Fans of 24 who anticipate going through withdrawal this fall (it's not back until January, after all) may find a worthy distraction in Prison Break, which will be renting out Jack Bauer's Mondays-at-9 pm/ET home starting tonight. TVGuide.com spoke with stars Wentworth Miller (The Human Stain) and Dominic Purcell (John Doe), two guys whose biggest challenge — besides pulling off an elaborate escape — may be trying to make buzz cuts cool.
First up, Wentworth Miller:

Watching the opening hours of Prison Break (premiering Monday, Aug. 29, at 8 pm/ET), I kept trying to blot out the inner voice telling me, "C'mon, Jack Bauer could get out of this mess in less than a day." In other words: If you think 24 stretches the bounds of logic, wait till you see this doozy.
But for thrill-hunters willing to suspend disbelief and sign up for another tense, violent, improbably entertaining adventure, this new exercise in serialized suspense will do just fine until 24 returns in January. (It sure beats letting Fox's reality hacks get the time period.)
The first leap of faith comes early, as stoic hero Michael Scofield (the terrifically taciturn Wentworth Miller) clumsily robs a bank for the express purpose of being sent to a maximum-security prison where his brother (John Doe's Dominic Purcell) is on death row for murdering the vice president's brother. Scofield, a st
