Prison Break ending series after season

Yeah, tv shows start and end here and there, but this really came to my attention. I really like the show. But i found out they were ending it, i knew they were and also it did need to someday.

Prison Break fans, there’s really no easy way to say this so we’ll just take a very direct approach: Prison Break is coming to an end…soon; Fox today announced the series will be ending at the conclusion of this season.

The news probably isn’t a huge shock to anyone who has been following the series recently. Late last year, speculators thought the show would be coming to an end when Fox tacked on a few extra hours to this year’s production schedule. And with heavy promotion for Fringe, 24, and Lie to Me in full swing, it isn’t hard to see who the odd man out is.

Prison Break is currently on a little vacation, as Fox beefs up its midseason schedule with the aforementioned trio and a little program called American Idol. However, Fox did schedule a return for the final episodes of Prison Break–they begin their run April 17.

According to TVGuide.com, Fox president Kevin Reilly explained, “[Prison Break] got to a point where a lot of the stories had been told,” which is a kind way to say the show was running on fumes creatively. At least six hours of the drama are left to go, with the possibility of a few more hours added as Reilly said he wants the program to “finish strong.”

Before fans organize a save-the-show campaign complete with an assault of freshly shaven hair and teabags, consider this: Prison Break was originally conceived as a one-season show or mini-series, but instead was stretched out to four full seasons. That’s some glass-is-half-full thinking right there.
Well Prison Breakers, do you agree with Fox’s Reilly? Did the show run out of gas? Who will you miss most when the screen goes dark?

This really comes down to no surprise to me. Like I am rather impressed that they managed to get a 4 season out this show.

So far, I have been enjoying PB, however with season 3 and season 4 is really showing that they need to put this one to bed.

There is only so many times where Michael Scofield can be thrown back in prison only to break out again.
There is only so many times where every one is on the run.
There is only so many times where T-Bag has tried screwing every one else over with out getting killed.
And there is only so long where the company still finds Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows more useful alive than dead.

Prison Break is best be put to bed while it's still good.

I never saw the attraction of this show.

Never watched it.

Should of finished at the 3rd, first and second are classics the 3rd was just a bolt on and the 4th is like a b-rate sequel. Its not particularly new news prison break was announced to be canceled before crimbo atleast thats when I heard about it....

[Jorsoft]

I watched a little of it, thought it was terrible. Don't care if it's ending.

[Preacher]

Saw 4 episodes , got me bored.

Seen every episode. Love the show, but I do think they need to wrap it up. Obviously season 1 is the best, but they kept enough twists to keep it going. I just hope they have a good conclusion at the end of this season... I honestly don't think I could come up with a good enough ending to this series.

If you want the last few episodes of Season 2, you can see the turning point of where they could of finished every thing up, or continue on.

It's when that General wrote down the word "Sona"
Followed by the president stepping down her administration with that claim about cancer in order to avoiding having to give the brothers a presidental full pardon..

I'm a big PB fan, but I voted to end it after this season. Just nowhere to go with it really. Your first post pretty much sums it up KC and while it's a good series, it will never be as good as season 1 was because of the things you listed. They pretty much wrote themselves into a hole. Finally, with all the strong ranking shows on Fox's lineup, something's gotta give.

They should have been caught by now...

Just like Lost, the shows have taken it too far IMO. Interesting at first but plot twist after plot twist and multiple seasons you find yourself asking when the F it is going to end.
