Fox renews PRISON BREAK

They keep renewing it just to piss off the handful of people who are still angry over the network canceling ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT and FIREFLY.

Hell, John Doe was fifty times better. And it was John Doe...

SciFi doesn't seem to have a problem with canceling BSG while greenlighting its spin-off.

Well that's Sci-Fi. They do a lot of things that don't make sense.

Not a real surprise since FOX said awhile back they were going to continue their plans for the Prison Break spinoff.

I wouldn't make much sense to cancel the show the spinoff series would be spinning off of.

It wouldn't not make sense. I wouldn't think that the spinoff show is going have any strong ties to the original's storyline, so Fox wouldn't need one to make the other work.

Cool. I really enjoy this show. It feels very comic book-y.

Fox to Spin-Off Prison Break

Fox is looking to spin-off "Prison Break" with the tentatively titled "Prison Break: Cherry Hill," says The Hollywood Reporter. The potential new series would be set at a women's prison and center on Molly, a new regular character that will be introduced on "Prison" later this season.

Fox has ordered a script of the possible spin-off, which is being written by "Prison" executive producer Matt Olmstead and co-executive producer Zack Estrin and produced by 20th Century Fox TV.

Molly is an upper-middle-class wife. After suffering a family tragedy at the hands of the Company -- the government conspiracy that framed Michael (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) and put them behind bars -- she seeks them out at the hellish Panamanian prison Sona in her quest to exact vengeance.

In "Cherry Hill," which would have the same tone as "Prison," Molly goes to a women's detention facility fully accepting the life sentence for her acts of revenge until she is contacted by the government with information that some of her loved ones are alive.

If "Cherry Hill" doesn't go forward, Molly will continue on "Prison" as a regular character.

They planned on introducing the main character of the spinoff show on Prison Break, and also use the same bad guys from Prison Break.

If they want the same audience to watch the new show, I can't them embracing it if they don't resolve all the plots in the original show. So they're going to have to bring back the original for at least one more season.

Cherry Hill? Seriously?

Finally! The seventies are back! Either Roger Corman or Tarantino must be producing this.

Nice, I liked season 3 for what it was. I just hope that season 4 will be the last season. The "one season on the inside", "one season on the outside" switcheroo can't be sustained THAT long.

Maybe if we start some online petitions they'll bring those shows back!

Yes, we should! What about Drive and Smith?
