Prison Break Fun! with teletart: another review for the pile
I've never really been one for prison drama. The shifting alliances. The scary shower rooms. The lack of costume changes. I didn't watch Oz, Bad Girls, or Prisoner Cellblock H. I wasn't transfixed by Brubaker. I never saw Escape from Alcatraz,...

Review: Prison Break
It's completely ridiculous. But if you can kind of squint and pretend you don't see all the malarkey...

TV Review: While Entertaining, Prison Break Has Untapped Potential
Even though most networks, in theory, would like to be able to air original programming all year, FOX is probably the best known out of all of the television networks for making the most out of year round programming, thanks...

I think everyone is wondering about the fact that there's gotta be a break eventually. But likely the show will take a new direction within the jail at that point.
Ya but after the break all thats left is the whole secret service twist. The only other direction i can see it going after they break out (and they will) is they will find some way to prove his innocence and that the government is covering things up bla bla bla and then the murder charges are drooped, so his brother stays out of jail, then the main character goes back to jail to serves his time for the bank robbery or gets parole or something bla bla bla. This show should take one season tops. Unless they draggggg it and fill in the blanks with useless stuff like there already doing (the wardens play house for instance). Like "DSTER" says this is definitely not a fix for OZ.
It will likely reinvent itself (if it lasts post-bust, that is) in much the way 24 does... the main dude will have to bust someone else out involving some kind of political conspiracy and intrigue.
Haha this is the first time one of my pieces has been featured in one of these. Thanks guys!
You got it Joe, keep up the grand reviewing and pontificatin'
Well apart from the huge plot/reality holes, one dimensional characters and crappy acting, I guess it's OK.
Why is he called "FISH"?
New arrivals to jails are referred to as Fish or New Fish.
There's a lot of examples of this on film and television (I haven't been to jail as yet), The Shawshank Redemption comes to mind first and foremost.
#9 , why that place is called fox river ...
why is t-bag called t-bag?
I believe that would be Tea Bag... and I'm a leave it at that.
Why does Prison Break have to take so long to get back on the air? I mean I dont know how anybody can live without it. Hope all my peeps read this
WHATS UP I CANT WAIT TILL PRISON BREAK COMES BACK I MEAN ILUV WENTWORTH HE IS HOT UNLIKE MICHEAL JACKSON LOL I JUST AM SO ADDICTED TO THAT SHOW
. AGAIN LOL WELL G2G SEE ALL YALL SOON HOPE YALL LUV ME 2
L A T E A Y A L L
until its back on, you can watch every episode streamed at http://www.prison-break.cjb.net
:)
Well....
SO much of "constructive" criticism here...
The show is 2 good people...
It's like Police-Theif story... How you do bad things (Like breaking out of jail) without even getting noticed.
And you people are not writers 2 end the show in just one season... They got some professionals to lead the show 2 some point after they break out.
THIS IS NOT RIGHT. THE SHOW SHOULD AIR EVERY MONDAY AND THEN THEY TAKE AN UNSCHEDULED BREAK FOR A WHOLE MONTH. DONT THEY THINK THEIR VIEWERS WOULD BE UPSET?
Add your comment, speak your mind
(Or ping: http://blogcritics.org/mt/tb/35312)
This show isn't a fix for those looking to fill your Oz void, But You have to remember this is aired on "basic" cable not a pay channel like HBO. So its gonna have to cut a few corners here and there to make it work, for instance cutting shots of inmates penises every other scene (THANK YOU FOX). I for one am loving the show. Yet still, how long can the show last... I mean, there gonna Break out eventually. Then what?
