Commuted Sentence For Prison Break?

All day long I've been preparing myself for the fall finale of Prison Break. After tonight's ep, I won't see Michael Schoffield and his merry men for quite some time. Or will I?

If you watch Prison Break, then you probably have heard some rumblings from the show's producers about when the show will return. Although no return date for Prison Break has been announced, most believe that the show would go on hiatus after tonight's episode and return in May, just in time for sweeps. As one of the break out (no pun intended) hits of this television season, Fox doesn't want to lose the new fan base by taking the show off the air. But with the January return of 24, which airs in the timeslot currently employed by Prison Break, our beloved inmates just won't have a home.

But will we really have to wait unitl May to see the boys? Maybe not. Executive producer Paul Scheuring says the network is considering bringing the freshman jailhouse hit back as soon as January.

"It's totally up in the air. We may come back in January, February or May,” he says. “I think we're all going to find out in the next few days."

So cross your fingers & say your prayers. Light a few candles...burn some incense...stand on one leg and say the Hail Mary backwards...anything to bring this show back in January.

Update: Prison Break will be returning to Fox in March. Yeah!!!!
