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.

I was so bummed about not getting to see Michael Vartan speaking in a french accent. Yes I know KC sucks. Yes I know watching Anthony Bourdain on his travel shows is much more entertaining because he has retained the sarcasm and tenacity that was sorely lacking in the sit-com adaptation of his memoir. But... I still wanted it, darn it.

And I just started getting into Arrested Development. How dare they!

I know - it wasn't a perfect show, but it was more entertaining and original than much of the crap on tv. Plus Anthony Bourdain doesn't appear on basic cable, so at least this way I could pretend. :)
