Late Summer, FOX launched its serial thriller "Prison Break" as essentially a place holder until the arrival of the fifth season of "24". With its slot as the first new drama of the season to premiere, the network had hopes it would do enough to last out its run and then the Kiefer Sutherland juggernaut could move in.
Then a surprise came - it did well, very well. Ok maybe not "House" or "24" at its peak well, but certainly enough to raise eyebrows. Its pilot scored 10.5 million viewers, a great number which the network was very happy with but many expected it drop significantly once more regular scheduled programming returned on other networks.
It didn't. Despite a recent three-week hiatus for a dismally rating baseball world series, "Prison Break" has dropped less than 5-10% of its viewer numbers from its strong pilot - managing 9.2 million on average before the hiatus, whilst its first episode back scored 9.8 million viewers. However, even with a loyal fanbase built, it now looks like the network might ruin it.
Why? Its time for "24" to move back into that timeslot. "Prison Break" goes on hiatus again on November 28th along with most shows as they take their Christmas/New Year break. Instead of returning it mid-January in a new timeslot though, a rep from the network revealed to USA Today that the final nine episodes of the season will be pushed all the way back to May to air over the Summer. The question remains, will the audience still be around?

Jag tyckte att avsnittet var väldigt bra, men jag störde mig på att LJ inte hade några skor, vad hade hänt med dom? Vad var vitsen med att han inte skulle ha några skor? Det var bara konstigt och dumt. Hade någon stulit hans skor och hans strumpor när han låg och sov eller? (och inte tagit mobiltelefonen…)

Vad var det som hände precis i slutet när T-bag drog fram kniven? Jag kan inte höra vad han säger.

Det var bra. Ett av de bästa avsnitten hittils. Serien har fortfarande grymma trovärdighetsproblem, nästan så stora så att jag väljer att förbise dem helt nu. Jag accepterar konceptet och försöker ta till mig vad som visas, och det funkar mycket bättre, Prison Break blir jäkligt bra då. Håller med caffe, Wentworth Miller, var ruggigt bra i avsnittet. Desperation, frustration och allmänt känslospekta nådde ut till mig, yay.
Nä, fan ta Fox också, Mars är bättre än Maj, men inte när man vill ha fortsättning nu!
Från Darkhorizons.com;
Fox Television looks to be shortening the five-month hiatus to which "Prison Break" was originally sentenced reports The Baltimore Sun. The thirteenth episode dubbed 'the Fall Season finale' aired this past Monday night to the show's highest ratings yet (12.1 million viewers).
That plan however may have been called into question as network execs are being advised that the acclaimed show may lose momentum if taken off the air for an extended period.
Numerous articles today are citing the show's return as being moved up to March, but executive producer Paul Scheuring says the network may come back even earlier - "It's totally up in the air. We may come back in January, February or May. I think we're all going to find out in the next few days". He does hint that Fox seems to be leaning toward an earlier return for the show, but if the worst case scenario does happen (ie. a May return) then the network plans "the mother of all promotional campaigns to relaunch the show". Scheuring's ideal would be to come back late January/early February alongside fellow highly serialized Fox thriller "24".
