Didn't Prison Break end at the end of the first season when THEY BROKE OUT OF PRISON!!! The name of the show is quite explicit, it is a show about a prison from which there is a break. I have no problems with the show as a product, I hear it is very good. We have season 1 on box set but we are yet to watch it. The problem I have begins and ends with the name.
It is a bit like the British detective drama Taggart, about a detective called Taggart. This has been very successful since it began in 1983 even after the actor portraying Taggart died in 1995. At least do a spin off but the main character died the show is not the same.
Returning to Prison Break it appears to be one of those shows that was a success and they just had to make more. OK but at least do a spin off! Call it Crazy adventures of former convicts who performed a prison break otherwise you are kind of misleading people and that ain't right. Some of these shows just start and then have to continue because they are great, but the writers have no ideas beyond the original season. Look at Lost, what happened to the polar bears? What happened to the smoke machine that chased people around the island? I haven't started watching the last season yet but they got off the island and now they want back on! What the fu*k! Heroes is another show that basically tried to commit suicide with some rubbish shit in season 2, it is on the way back but the shark was approaching and wanted to be jumped over.
There is some great TV out there, I should know I watch enough, but sometimes it makes you just shake your head and nothing is worse that seeing a show you like die in front of your eyes each week. Except maybe becoming egg bound.
