They Know How to Ruin a Good Thing

Ahhhh... Prison Break. You used to be so good. So good. I'm trying to stand by you, but I have a feeling I won't have to much longer.... A four-month break is a really good idea for a show that's dropping viewers left and right!!! Asses.

Just as fans were recovering from the particularly graphic and grisly end to Dr. Sara Tancredi, there's even more drastic news that's just been announced regarding the third season of Prison Break. The show is going on an extended hiatus.

Fox has confirmed the earlier rumblings that the show will be taking a break starting in December, and won't return until 2008. The show is having what's called a "fall finale" on December 17. After a four month break, the first episode after the hiatus is slated to air on April 24. Once the late spring season starts up again, all the remaining episodes will run until early June.

When the show has its fall finale, there will have been about 12 to 13 episodes run in the fall season. How many episodes will ultimately run in the spring season remains to be seen.
