Prison Break Getting Cancelled?


Prison Break's executive producer Matt Olmstead has admitted that the show may be axed in the near future.In the wake of poor ratings for recent episodes, Olmstead told Entertainment Weekly: "There’s a shelf life to serialized drama. If this is the last season, we’re not mourning that because it’s been a great ride and we have a great season [ahead].

"In the event of the series being cancelled midway through the current run, Olmstead stated that the writers will "definitely have enough time to prepare for an appropriate ending. The season finale we have in mind could play as a season or series finale."However, he admitted that Prison Break's producers have "absolutely been encouraged by the response" to the fourth season. "It took a while to get the right idea... and to have the audience supporting it is very gratifying."

It would be crazy if they cancelled it after all this time. It would be smarter for them to at least finish the story they started telling.

this show is the most action packed show on tv and the people in it are just beautiful it would be said to see them go as far as the theme of the show its suppossed to entertain you not to make sense and it certainly does entertain and keep you on the edge of your seat.

I think Prison Break is a great show, my 3 year old daughter LOVES Micheal, she calls him "pretty boy". The Cast is so talented and seems like really great people. It will be a great lost for FOX to cancel such a great TV SHOW. I have read the bios for each of the cast members and it will be a shame to waste such great talent from this show. I will be praying the the worst does not happen and keep hope alive for the CAST. LOVE THIS SHOW.

The reason the show gets poor ratings is NOT because it isn't a great show it is because the networks have such long breaks in between! If they (and all networks seem to be doing it now) would get back to regular seasons instead of this "10 episodes and then a break" routine, good shows would survive.
