Prison Break gets the axe...

I actually like the first part of season 2 better than season 1 because it was essentially like The Fugitive, but on a bigger scale. However it got extremely annoying with super cop who was able to guess their every move and then the whole mysterious evil company that is somehow in every fucking show these days.
 
This show should have ended after one season.

They've been milking it for so long now...

haha yea, that is exactly how i felt about the series. s2 was cool but got super lame ...

i think the part that did it for me was when the super cop went into michael's apartment, and he could "see" what michael did, and he somehow with his super powers figured michael threw his hard drive out of his apartment (off the balcony or out the window) down into the river like 10 stories below. and then they found it...
 
Wow, it appears I'm alone here. I liked seasons 1, 2, and 3, and I'm watching and enjoying the 4th. I *do* agree that it needs to be ended, however, but I wouldn't say that it should have only been a 1 season show.
 
I've watched it since the beginning.

That's the whole issue.

It was a good show that turned into shit, & i hate myself for continuing to watch it.
 
Say what you will, but Prison Break was more exciting than that other Fox series, Lunch Break.

i got a BETTER IDEA

Make a new show give it some fruity name but the plot is this


So, there's a man crawling through the desert.

He'd decided to try his SUV in a little bit of cross-country travel, had
great fun zooming over the badlands and through the sand, got lost, hit a
big rock, and then he couldn't get it started again. There were no cell
phone towers anywhere near, so his cell phone was useless. He had no family,
his parents had died a few years before in an auto accident, and his few
friends had no idea he was out here...

Season 1 was great
2 was good but gold old quick
3 was good, I liked it better than 2.
4 has been really good so far. Best season since #1

yea there is a huge difference ...

LOST gets good ratings, prison break doesn't.

Good ratings does not make a good show. Prison Break was good for one season. It should have stopped there. Lost, same thing. How many times will they get off the island and then end up right back? Heroes is also getting dry. How long can they keep the same shows that are doing the same crap week after week, year after year? These kind of shows are really sad after 1 or 2 seasons. Same show the next week, just shot from a different camera angle or from another characters perspective but its all the same IMO.

1 was awesome though. 2 was necessary to continue what you started in 1, but it was already a different type of show by then. In prison is different than on the run. 2 ended and the show ended. I believe that's where it should've ended. Sona was trash and unnecessary. 3 was a waste, but I kept watching. I screamed during 4 many times saying this show was complete trash but I kept watching for some reason. It's about time to put it to an end.

Terminator will be cancelled.

It has been on Fox's shitlist for quite some time.

How can a show in its second season have had enough time to be on their shitlist for "quite some time"

It's Fox. They cancel anything that doesn't get 20 million viewers every week, regardless of spot or time of year. Unless it's reality TV, that is.

I agree that Jericho should have continued. What a great show, and with plenty of possible plot line continuations from where it ended.

the first season was pretty awesome and I thought the second season was pretty good too...

but after being forced to watch that old fat guy in his tightie whities for 2 months straight and turned off the show and have never looked back.
