NOTE: Please don't post any spoilers, or black them out them please!

After mourning the fact that I've watched all of the Whedonverse, I looked for a new show.

I tried Breaking Bad, but it was too graphic. I watched a few reality shows (Pitchmen and Mythbusters), but then found Prison Break.

Wow! I'm loving this show! Season 1 was great, and Season 2 is even better.

So... any Prison Break fans?
 
Prison Break is absolutely superb. Season 1 and season 2 are so addictive. Season 3 doesn't compete with the quality of first 2 seasons. Season 4 sees it nearly back to its best. You have a lot more enjoyable viewing to get through. I'm envious.😀
 
I was going to watch this as well during the summer it seems to get very high views. I already know T-Bag from Breakout Kings so that got me more excited.

I was going to try Breaking Bad as well since it doesn't have to many seasons yet. Was it that bad graphic wise? I know they can get away with stuff on that channel.

How is Breakout Kings? I wasn't a big T-bag fan but Robert Knepper sure acted his butt off for this role.

[MENTION=10790]Goby[/MENTION] have you finished S2 yet? I always fly through PB when I re-watch it. 🙂

I think I watched 10 episodes yesterday! I had some computer work I had to do, and used it as an excuse to watch TV all day. 🙂

Season 2 was amazing! I'm about 4-5 episodes into Season 3, and I'm liking it.

BTW, I hate T-Bag (in a good way). He's a great character who really scares the heck out of me.

Breakout Kings is one of the main shows that I LOVED this year new show wise. I find it hilarious and I just look forward to watching it.
I don't know what it was but from the moment T-bag came on screen I was like he is a character. He had me laughing hard especially at this one moment. Btw I love the way he talks!
 
The 1st season of Prison Break is one of the finest seasons of any televison show ever.

Absolutely masterful.

It should have only ever been ONE season though. Breaking out of prison was kind of the entire point of the show, everything that came after just seemed like they were dragging the whole thing out.

(In fact the show was originally supposed to be a 13-part mini-series but it was such a hit that they kept the show going for a full run of 22 episodes - you can see the join happen around episode 13, where they 'almost' break-out but have to abandon their plan thanks to a hastily re-written script! XD)

Still, the strength of the characters is what kept me watching - T-Bag is awesome!

And don't forget, even after the final 4th season there is still a feature length 'movie' called Prison Break: The Final Break, which you don't have to watch but is a great way to end out the story.

And lol at Wentworth Miller's fat head by the end of the series run - dude must have been hitting them pies hard!

Oh yeah, he is so creepy. Everything about him, the way he carries himself, the way he talks, his mannerisms...even the way he says pretty is creepy! Robert Knepper did a great job with this role.

No doubt season 1 is the best, but I think they did a decent job turning it into a full fledged series. Also, if it had only been 13 episodes we would have been left with so many unanswered questions.

The character development and all the different layers we get to see as time goes on is absolutely what kept me interested in the show.

I enjoyed Prison Break: The Final Break and it did fill in a few missing pieces, but it did seem pretty repetitive....I guess you can say the whole show post S1 is but this was the first time I found myself saying "not again!".

hehe so true, poor guy.
 
I never got the love for the show. Not that that's a diss to people loving it. You are all allowed to pity me for not loving it. 😉 The only part I was really hooked on was the second part of the first season.
 
I started Season 4. Season 3 was pretty good; I actually liked it as well as the first 2 seasons.

Poor guys... it's always something with them. lol
