Anyone watch the new show Prison Break last night? I found it interesting but a tad confusing. . .for those people in the tattoo string who hate tattoos--the main character got the blueprint for the prison tattooed on himself (his entire upper body) before getting himself arrested and going to prison to try to free his brother who was wrongfully convicted and is on death row. . .

The show was awesome!!!

I really like it, and can't wait til next week. It was filmed in the old Joliet Prison (of Blues Brothers fame), about 1/2 mile from where I work.

I started to watch it but then got busy, so I recorded it. I saw maybe the first 1/2 hour of it and it seemed pretty good. Maybe tonight I'll get to see the whole thing.

State of confusion
I heard about it on the Bob and Tom show yesterday morning, but didn't get to watch. I guess the head of the prison is a lady that wants to reform the prisioners. The guy on the radio was the hard a$$ guard that wanted to punish everyone. I think it sounds good, I am sorry I missed it.

I missed it too, but I think they are replaying it on Thursday night.

I watched it and liked it. But how does the brother that's about to be executed get to walk around so freely and see his brother? And didn't they check their records to see that they are brothers? I will also keep my toes away from my hedge clippers!

Oh man, I wanted to watch but was just too tired! There looks to be quite a number of interesting shows coming this season that I would like to catch. Like E-Ring, The Surface, Invasion, some other spooky looking one, as well as my stand-bys, Lost, CSI, CSI Miami, House, Law and Order:Criminal Intent, NCIS, Charmed...

How did Charmed get in there? Sometimes you need to watch something a little less serious!

I watched the majority of it and liked it, I have to agree with anon, it could have been more realistic. Although, did the brothers have the same last name? I can't remember...

I thought this show was awesome. The whole blueprint tatoo was a pretty fresh idea. I can't wait to see 'My Name is Earl'. I am a huge Jason Lee fan.

When does My Name is Earl start or did I miss that?

Anyway, I love Prison Break. Very good show.

I actually decided against watching Las Vegas because Prison Break is better and I can only pick 2 at that timeslot and 2 and 1/2 men wins out every time.

You could see from the previews that Michael was going to rescue the doctor, by using his escape plan. . .plus with the guard knowing about the hole in the cell wall. . .it looks like they'll have to escape immediately . . . but how many more weeks are left in the season???? I think the governor is going to grant clemency to the brother on death row because he tried to protect the prison guard and because Michael rescued the daughter.

I have to say the show is pretty unpredictable at this point--a mark of a good show (or book, if it was a book!).

I was thinking the same thing... but was not sure how many weeks were left. I'm wondering how she is going to prevent the sniper from shooting Michael in the head? Hhmm.. by far this was the best show IMHO.

Another good episode last night--too bad we have to wait THREE WEEKS for the next one! One of the best new shows out there, IMHO. Although it seems a bit odd to be rooting for the prisoneers to escape--They are all innocent, though, right????

This show had only been scheduled for half a season and the network extended it for 9 more episodes (the entire season) so it must be doing well. . .

I love this show. Now we get to wait until baseball is over to find out what she's going to do knowing the nice guy who doesn't belong in prison is apparently devious and manipulative, and capable of breaking out of the prison.

I hate that we have to wait...

Good show last night. I'm bummed that the prison guard got stabbed to death. I bet the guy that killed him will be killed before they break out of prison. Wondering what will happen to Lincoln and Michael. Oh..and what about the lady who is trying to help them.. looks like their life is in danger. Gonna be torture waiting three weeks...
