Oh FOX, why do you hate me so?

Hi. My name is Rachel, and I love Prison Break.
I understand that it's stretching the boundaries of logic so far that any day now I expect them to break and snap the writers to Antarctica. But I don't care. The intense, complicated plotting that Michael went through makes me laugh, and so does his look of complete disappointment and confusion every time something goes not exactly according to plan. Ha!
Also, Wentworth Miller is hot. As are his full-body tattoos.
I love that it's basically one season-long story arc, although I could do without the boring bits that take place outside the prison. And I love the complicated maneouvres that mean slimy, icky people we hate are now on the dream team. Plus, C-Note's line last week ("Can you dig it?") was the funniest thing I've heard all year.
So, of course, FOX is putting it on hiatus for six months. Considering that they also just cancelled Kitchen Confidential (without even showing us the Michael Vartan episode!) and cut Arrested Development down to 13 shows without renewal, I'm going to take a stand and say that they suck.

he and his tattoos were lovely indeed, but in the end my suspension of disbelief decided it wasn't worth the downloading. and then the computer died anyway.

Date: 2005-11-15 08:24 pm (UTC)As for Arrested Development, as much as I LOVE that show, it wasn't really a surprise. For all of the "Fox only aired two episodes and pulled it" or "Fox moved it all over the place" This was a show that they actually did handle well. They let it stay on Sundays for two VERY low-rated seasons, and then gave it a better time slot on Mondays, where it just didn't happen. I guess it just wasn't paying the bills. At least we got 2 and a half years of comedy gold. Can't wait to watch the WHOLE series on DVD!
It's interesting that My Name Is Earl is doing very well, because we certainly wouldn't be getting a show like that if not for Arrested Development.
