A builder gets himself incarcerated to engineer the escape of his death-row brother, who was framed for killing the vice president's brother. While the setup requires a leap of faith, the drama is consistently taut as Michael Scofield, who helped design the prison and has its blueprints tattooed on his body, maneuvers to assemble an escape plan and team, while friends investigate his brother's bogus conviction on the outside.
  • Prison Break Exclusive: Sarah Wayne Callies Speaks! | TV Matt'rs | 5/16/2008 New
    Positively radiant (and sexy!) in a sleek minidress at Fox's upfronts after-party, Sarah Wayne Callies looked no worse for the wear, having been through such an ordeal early last season as Prison Break's Dr. Sara Tancredi. But now that Michael's love has her head on straight, what's next for the starcrossed pair? I grabbed a few minutes with Callies to get a peek at Season 4.To steal one Fox publicist's line, "It's good to see you with your head on your shoulders." That's very kind of you to... read more
  • Fall TV: Fox Gives J.J. Abrams Appointment After House | Today's News: Our Take | 5/15/2008 New
    For those who've been keeping an ear to the tracks, Fox's fall plan didn't shake out exactly as expected. Perhaps waylaid by CBS' decision to program Wednesday's 8 o'clock hour with comedies, Fox has opted to counterprogram with Bones. Leading out of House on Tuesdays at 9 is Lost creator J.J. Abrams' much-anticipated Fringe.On Monday, Terminator and Prison Break have swapped places, with Sarah Connor now opening the night. Wednesday's 9 o'clock hour features 'Til Death and the new comedy Do... read more

    Right at this moment we're nearing the end of a mini TV shows on Blu-ray "drought". Did you realize there even WAS one? Oh, yeah: the January 29th release of Damages marks the last time a TV season set came out on the high definition Blu-ray Disc format.But if you own a Blu-ray player, then never fear!

  • Ask Ausiello | 5/7/2008
    Q: Any more gossip on Prison Break? A: Michael's headed back to prison next season! Kind of. According to my Prison snitch, a huge warehouse has been erected on the Fox backlot that will serve as a sort of "metaphorical prison" for Michael and his merry band of misfits (Dr. Sara included) next season. read more

    Q: Got any Season 4 Prison Break scoop? A: Two new players in the war between Scofield and the Company will be introduced in the season premiere. On one side we have Don, an FBI handler who offers Michael a way to bring down the Company once and for all. And on the other side we have Penrab, the Company's top assassin who's waiting on the sidelines for his chance to attack. read more

    Q: I know you're no fan of Prison Break, and on that we'll have to agree to disagree. But what do you think of the show's producers spoiling their own plotline by announcing the return of Sarah Wayne Callies as Dr. Sara? Couldn't they have left that surprise for the viewers? Just like when the producers of Lost announced Michael's return before the season even started, they sort of took the fun out of it for me. I had some suspicions that Dr. Sara could be coming back, but couldn't they have... read more

    Prison Break fans, prepare to seriously lose your heads. Sarah Wayne Callies — whose rather ugly contract dispute with producers led to her apparent decapitation last October — is returning next season. Full-time. As Dr. Sara Tancredi. Head and all. Seriously.How? Why? When? WTF?! All legitimate questions. Good thing I just hung up with Mr. Answer Man (aka executive producer Matt Olmstead). So... I take it that wasn't Sara's head in that box....Matt Olmstead: Yeah, that wasn't.But... read more

    Fox has ordered a fourth season of Prison Break, to run for 22 to 23 episodes... and all the way to the Left Coast. Sources tell TVGuide.com the serialized thriller — which will pick up where the strike-shorted Season 3 left off, with Michael on the loose and seeking revenge against The Company — will relocate to Los Angeles. The show's production was based out of Texas. Of course, your first thought will be: Hey, now Jack Bauer can lend a hand! Except he, as bad luck would have it,... read more

    The WGA strike may have come and gone, but don't assume your favorite TV stars know any more about what the future holds than you do. "They haven’t told me anything," Prison Break baddie Jodi Lyn O’Keefe sighed at a Beverly Hills soiree celebrating designer Paige Adams-Gellar and celebrity trainer Ashley Bordon’s new book, Your Perfect Fit.

  • Ask Matt | 2/29/2008
    Q: Although I am a fan of Prison Break, I am an even bigger fan of Friday Night Lights, and I didn't appreciate your comment that people who enjoy a show like Prison Break are the reason why a quality show like Friday Night Lights can't find enough of an audience to stay on the air. What is wrong with liking both of them? You like Heroes, which you freely admit is an escapist pleasure that is uneven in its execution, while still enjoying top-quality shows like Lost and Friday Night Lights. I... read more
  • Ask Matt | 2/22/2008
    Q: I know you're not really a fan of Prison Break these days (been growing a little weary of it myself). However, now that the boys are out of Sona, I was looking forward to seeing the three-seasons-in-the-making takedown of The Company. At this point, I don't think the show's expected to come back in the spring, and I don't think I can sit through (or Fox will order) a full 22-episode Season 4. So my question is: Will Fox consider shooting the remaining nine episodes as an abbreviated final... read more

  • Episode Recap: "The Art of the Deal" | Prison Break Show Blog | 2/19/2008
    Where do we go from here?And no, I'm not being rhetorical. At least not entirely. This week's episode of Prison Break was not envisioned as a season finale, but instead had to serve as such because of the disruption caused by the WGA strike. So, the writers/producers intended for the season to go on another nine or so episodes. But to what end? A mission of vengeance for Michael? Would we follow up on Sucre's fate? And what of Linc and LJ?Those who listen to the podcast and regard my Prison... read more
  • 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

    File this under "life imitating Fox." Prison Break star Lane Garrison has written a letter to his good friends at Access Hollywood from jail. The actor was sentenced to three years and four months in San Diego's Donovan State Prison in October for drunk driving.If nothing else, Garrison appreciates the irony of his situation, describing to Access how he and his cellmates were allowed to watch the season premiere of Prison Break.

  • Blood, Sweat and Jeers as Prison Takes a Break | Roush Review | 2/13/2008
    Please release them. Let it go. I'm with Prison Break's understandably sullen hero, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), who admitted just before making a break from Panamanian hellhole Sona prison: "I'm tired. Tired of choices, consequences. I just want this to be over." He also must be tired of wearing long sleeves (to cover up his tattoos) in the sweatiest prison ever. This week's season finale arrives after only 13 episodes because of the writers' strike, but it couldn't come soon enough... read more
  • Ask Ausiello | 2/13/2008
    Q: I need some scoop on the future of Prison Break! Despite a lackluster season, the show was beyond awesome and suspenseful this week. Heard anything about its future? A: All I know is that Season 3 comes to an end next Monday and the show remains on the bubble for fall. My guess? Prison Break as we know it will end, to be replaced next season with the "women in prison" spin-off that Fox has been developing. But that's just a guess. read more
  • William Fichtner Talks About Porn (and the Prison Finale) | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 2/13/2008
    Before he ever strapped on (ultimately disgraced) FBI agent Alexander Mahone's holster, William Fichtner made a porn film... within the plot of The Amateurs, an engaging little indie that slipped in and out of theaters but is now available on DVD (shop Amazon). TVGuide.com invited Fichtner to reflect on the film's extremely fun shoot, as well as preview what's ahead on Fox's soon-to-conclude Prison Break. TVGuide.com: I interviewed you a few years back, just as Invasion was about to... you ... read more
  • Ask Ausiello | 2/13/2008
    Q: In last week's Ask Ausiello, you said that "Michael gets a special delivery from the great beyond in the season finale of Prison Break on Feb. 18. And someone I thought I'd never in a million years see on the show again turns up in a surprise cameo." Any hints as to who that "surprise cameo" is? Can you tell us if he or she was a regular on the show, or if he or she has died on the show? A: Yes, she was a regular. And yes, she died on the show. And although she didn't need to be present for... read more
  • Episode Recap: "Hell or High Water" | Prison Break Show Blog | 2/12/2008
    OK, so that was a decent little twist Michael had in his back pocket, expecting that T-Bag or the like would muscle ahead in line and insist on exiting the tunnel first. I wonder, though, was that the plan regardless ? What if no one cut in line? Because frankly, Plan B was all kinds of loosey-goosey and relied so much on chance. (Though not nearly as much as a later plot device.) Plan B actually was... boring, considering it was from Michael's crafty cranium. Roll under the jeeps... read more

  • Episode Recap: "Under & Out" | Prison Break Show Blog | 2/5/2008
    Now that's not a fair place to end the episode! Lucky for myself, I have the next few eps of Prison Break on DVD, so I was able to quell any frustration/impatience by "reading ahead." More on that (perhaps) later. So, this week we learned (confirmed?) a bit more about Whistler, mainly that it is some coordinates he has that The Company wants. Crafty guy, tearing the slip in half as a sign of good faith to evil, evil Gretchen, but still buying himself some time and security. But coordinates... read more
  • Episode Recap: "Dirt Nap" | Prison Break Show Blog | 1/22/2008
    To those who didn't entirely care for the "tone" I (allegedly) had in last week's recap, please hear me when I say... that this week's episode was one of the best in a while! I really felt like a lot happened.Sucre and GretchenAKA "Sugar." His and Linc's plot to pull a fast one on Gretchen was uncovered, but along the way we enjoyed some (what I saw to be) flirty banter from Ms. Anthony's direction. Alas, the cashier's check — which smelled fishy the moment we saw it (since when do bad... read more

  • Episode Recap: "Boxed In" | Prison Break Show Blog | 1/15/2008
    For starters, and I did a bit of a rant on this in the podcast, the Michael-in-a-long-sleeve-shirt thing is getting very silly. There he was, sitting in a solitary confinement "cell" designed to sweat the inmate into subserviance if not death, and he doesn't strip — all because, what, Wentworth won't slap on the faux tatts for one episode? OK, nit is picked.Storywise, I question Michael's decision to involve the new "general" or whatever in the details of the escape plan forced upon him.... 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
  • Has Blu-ray Finally Beat HD DVD for Good? | DVD News and Reviews | 1/9/2008
    HBO has joined the parade to Blu-ray after Warner Bros, its distributor, announced on Friday that they were dropping HD-DVD in May 2008. The Warner Bros announcement could be the event that ends the war between high-definition formats. HD-DVD has the exclusive support of Universal and Paramount/DreamWorks, while Blu-ray has Fox/MGM, Warner Bros, Disney, Sony and Lionsgate. Warner Bros, which holds about 20 percent of the market, was a huge win for the Blu-ray group, and leaves Blu-ray with... read more
  • Strike Talk, and Reader Questions Answered! | Prison Break Blog | 12/8/2007
    We just finished shooting the last script written before the writers strike began. Now we are on vacation/hold/hiatus/looking for a gig while the writers and producers hopefully bang out a deal sooner rather than later. My instinct is that this strike could go on for a while — the stakes are high and the players are dug in. I'm just gonna save my dough and hopefully get a gig in the mean time. We'll see what the future brings. It's not time to worry yet.The production is completely shut... read more
  • Ask Matt | 11/16/2007
    Is it true that Bones will be moving to Friday nights? Now that there's proof it can take the 18-to-49 audience away from NCIS, Fox is going to move it to Friday. Does that make any sense at all? It also continues to perform better than Prison Break, but Bones gets the move to the death slot. Well, between the writers' strike and Fox, I guess my days of watching television are numbered. Time to get my library card out and catch up on my reading. read more
  • Michael Foils the Company's Plan to Bust Out Whistler! | Prison Break Show Blog | 11/13/2007
    Episode Recap: "Bang and Burn" (Nov. 12, 2007)OK, color me a little bit confused. When I asked Jodi Lyn O'Keefe about the "fall finale" — which at the time was to air in mid-December, a few episodes from now — she mentioned the helicopter stunts. Then, thanks to the strike and Fox's rejiggered schedule, this week's episode was dubbed the "fall finale." And yet there the helicopters are...? This is something for me to figure out, but I had to share my puzzlement. [Editor's note: I have... read more
  • Chaos Theory: Fox Reshuffles the Poststrike Deck | Roush Dispatch | 11/8/2007
    As if the implications of the writers’ strike weren’t already giving us migraines, along comes Fox to make our heads explode with its latest incomprehensible schedule announcement, covering the strike-impacted midseason from January to April (consider most everything you read from here on subject to change). The first piece of bad news was expected: The seventh season of 24 is being postponed indefinitely, until Fox can ensure the entire season can run intact and uninterrupted. Who... read more

    Fox's "revised" 2008 schedule kicks off Jan. 13 and 14 with the series premiere of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and starts cooking with gas on the 15th with the two-night return of that singing show known as American Idol, but now is experiencing a Bauer outage.

    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

The sick, twisted writers once again have conjured a fantastically frigged-up story line that will rocket us through what so far is a wicked Season 3. I think this year may be our best season yet.

    I absolutely adore Chuck. I think it's phenomenally funny and has bags of charm. It also resonates with me on a personal level. (No, I'm not a spy.) It seems to handle twentysomething life situations in a very realistic way (like not really moving on since college, having partially realized romantic feelings and not fitting in). I think it has the potential to be to people in their twenties and thirties what Buffy was to so many a while back: meaningful and entertaining! But the ratings worry... read more

    Paris Hilton, call your agent. Fox has ordered a script for a distaff Prison Break called Prison Break: Cherry Hill (yes, really). Penned by PB exec producers Matt Olmstead and Zac Estrin, the spin-off would focus on Molly, an as-yet-uncast character to be introduced this season on the mother ship. According to the Reporter, having suffered a family tragedy at the hands of The Company, upper-middle-class housewife Molly will seek out Michael at Sona for tips on exacting revenge.

    Wow, it's been just a week, and I can barely remember where we left off.... Oh, right! Prison Break's Michael started to formulate his plan to bust him and Whistler out of Sona, and thus far it would seem to involve Sucre scoring the gravedigger gig and in doing so spritzing the prison fence with a corrosive. Of course, to make the fence "heat up" the chemical, Michael tricked Lechero into thinking the power had gone out, thus him the chance to re-juice the defunct electrified fence. Bellick... read more

    Linc hasn't told Michael about Sara yet, and now’s not the time to do it. Michael must focus, since the deadline for busting Whistler out of Sona is quickly approaching. The plan he devises is wonderfully (and typically) counterintuitive. Meanwhile, there's a new inmate in Sona who says he knows Whistler, but Whistler isn't happy to see him. And T-Bag is behaving like a Southern gentleman, and — surprise — he doesn't even appear to have an ulterior motive. — Paul Droesch read more

    How do you think Bones will fare in the ratings? I see it recently averaged around the eight million mark. I'm glad it won't be up against Dancing with the Stars every week! However, it does compete with the well-established NCIS and now the two ABC comedies Cavemen and Carpoolers, which for me have no appeal.

  • April 2, 2007: Sona | Prison Break Show Blog | 4/3/2007
    What kind of hell on earth did Michael just walk into? Why are the next 20 feet going to be the most dangerous? How come Mahone didn’t have to do that walk? How many times did Bellick get, um, loved by that big dude? Why did Sara leave the police station without waiting for Lincoln? What happened to Sucre? Are Kim and Kellerman really dead? I have to be honest — and the above paragraph proves this — I’m still not sure what to say about this episode. When the hour was up, my... read more
  • Back to Prison: Gimme a Break | Roush Dispatch | 4/3/2007
    Those last rites you heard coming from my place Monday night? That was me mourning what had become of the serialized thriller on the Fox network, after sitting through the silly finish of Prison Break's sophomoric sophomore season and yet another hour of the sadly diminished 24. Honestly, there was more natural tension in Dancing with the Stars last night (thanks, Heather Mills), and certainly more satisfying twists and turns during the various tangos and jives.It was pretty clear that there... read more

    Did you hear? Prison Break got picked up for a third season, check out creator Paul T. Scheuring's interview after the announcement. The good news, of course, is that we get another year of nail-biting television and we don’t have to say bye to our favorite brothers, but — and I hate to ask — does anyone wonder how much longer this whole on-the-run thing can really go on? Obviously next week’s finale is going to set up the new game plan and I have total faith in the writers... read more
  • Prison Breaking News! Boys Get Season 3 Run | Today's News: Our Take | 3/21/2007
    Fox has picked up Prison Break for a third season — but earning that green light was no easy feat for the serialized thriller that, having busted its cons out of the clink at the end of Season 1, ran the risk of exhausting not just its fugitives, but its storytelling options. Coming up with a winning Season 3 setup "was absolutely the toughest nut to crack thus far," series creator Paul T. Scheuring tells TVGuide.com. "We always had the first two seasons mapped out in concept, and felt... read more

    Well it’s down to the last two episodes, and while I’m going to miss being glued to the TV for a thrilling hour every Monday night, I’m definitely anxious to see how it will all go down. A good guess would be that we’ll be saying bye-bye to at least three more people (Kim? Kellerman? Another prostitute who won’t realize the danger in calling Susie Q a bitch?). Then again, my track record of predictions on Prison Break isn’t something to brag about. So that’s... read more
  • Short Cuts: Prison Break, Chrissy Snow and More! | Today's News: Our Take | 3/16/2007
    A TV station in eastern China recently flouted a national ban on crime-related shows by airing excerpts of Prison Break on a children's channel, as part of a "Watch Movies, Learn English" initiative.

  • It's a Wrap | Prison Break Blog | 3/13/2007
    I wrapped for Season 2 of Prison Break on Wednesday, March 7 — a bittersweet day. It has been a challenging and rewarding season for me. I love making film and television because it is truly a collaborative art. It takes the combined talents of the crew, writers, actors, directors, assistant directors and producers to get a show completed on such a tight schedule. I am proud to be a part of a great team. The crew here in Dallas really stepped up to the plate and hit one out of the park.... read more

    The Los Angeles district attorney's office confirms to TV Guide that Lane Garrison (formerly of Prison Break) is being charged with vehicular manslaughter in the death of 17-year-old Vahagn Setian, who was a passenger in Garrison's car in December. In a statement, attorney Paul Kiesel says, "The Setian family is gratified by the charges brought by the Los Angeles district attorney's office.

It’s only fair, because since I started writing this blog in October, we’ve had moments of silence for the other 100 people who’ve died on Prison Break. But since then, this was the saddest one to see. While I do admit I used to complain about his recent story lines, it was just because they were irrelevant to the rest of the show.

    Happy President's Day, all. What better way to end my relaxing three-day weekend than shouting and cursing at the television in excitement/sheer frustration over and over again while watching Prison Break? I’m hoping you all had the same reactions; let me elaborate, and then you can do the same. My favorite moment of tonight’s episode is actually a three-way tie between the three times I shouted for joy. In fact, I even squealed after the first: when Michael ran over Kim.

    Monday's rating highlights, and there are a few:• During the 8 o'clock hour alone, Prison Break (10.14 million total viewers) and (a rather uneven) How I Met Your Mother (10.78 million, up 1.23 mil from its last fresh outing) set new season highs. • This week's 9 pm face-off between Heroes and 24 went to... Team Bennet-Petrelli (14.56 million), which surged a mil week-to-week. 24 (13.57 mil) slipped 500,000.• Two and a Half Men (17.77 million) was up 1.7 mil, achieving a season's... read more

Here’s hoping he found peace and will have a better life in Holland/Heaven. R.I.P., crazy one. Now that that’s out of the way, I just have to say that I really liked this episode.

    Police investigators have asked Los Angeles County prosecutors to charge Prison Break alum Lane Garrison with felony gross vehicular manslaughter, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, for his involvement in the Dec. 2 car crash that left a 17-year-old high-school student dead.
