Prison Break Series Finale

I thought that the finale kind of sucked overall. But I was surprised at the end and actually shed a tear.

Also, I had to try to remember who in the hell Kellerman in C Note were. The show drifted so far from its roots, it's not funny.

I also thought it was kind of funny that Ethan from Lost was in there considering how back in the first season, there was debate about which show was better.

 

So they finally escaped.

I am proud to say I didn't even see a minute of this show, or 24 or the office.

 

Lamest and most overdone joke ever when referring to the series.

BTW, you've missed out on some good TV. The series needed to die but the first season was amazing. 2nd season wasn't bad either.

 

Lame or not, that was the thing they have been doing for the last five years so I heard. And people've been watching it for 5 years.

NBA beats hell of everything else on TV for me.

It was definitely a bittersweet ending. I'd read some spoilers before the finale and was hoping Michael still wouldn't die after all everyone on the show had been through... and the fans for that matter, lol. Yet, you could see it coming... up until the nosebleed on the beach, the ending just had too much of a fairytale ending. Sad thing to see too just because things like Michael's brain tumor makes you think how fortunate we are sometimes and just how devastating cancer can be because you can never be 100% that it won't come back more crippling that before. I was pretty surprised that they actually got their freedom once and for all. I thought Kellerman had to be some sort of sick setup that the writers were going to **** up the finale with, but I was wrong.

That being said, I thought the first two season's were pretty damn good and then season 3 was good but not great. Season 4 just jumped the shark though as in "What the **** are they doing?". The concept of Scylla was dragged out too long, too many competitors for Scylla, too many people back from the dead, and Michael's mom coming out of NO WHERE during the season?

I thought the writers redeemed themselves as best as they could have though given the circumstances of their slightly below average writing for about half of Season 4.

You do feel a little robbed though. The whole point was for Michael and Sara to start a family once day and with Lincoln free too to be there with his son. All in all though, respectable.

 

Congratulations, lol.

 

Been one of the biggest fans of this show, and I too think they jumped the whale in season 4, but the final 8 minutes of the series finale were extraordinary. Very sad to see the show end.

 

Sitcom died after Seinfield.
HBO died after Soprano.
Reality died after 2nd season of American Idol.
Cable news died ever after CNN trying to match up Fox news.

Bill Maher is not funny any more with his fancy liberal jokes, same old same old.
Larry David, oh well, same old same old.

The only I'd like to watch is Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, HOB documentaries, Inside the NFL, and all NBA games and shows.

 

Yeah that was kind of weird wasn't it about them being told they were canceled? Was there any particular reason for it at the time?

 

Prison Break Season 1 is one of the best all-time seasons of a show in television history in my opinion.

I personally loved the show and even though season 4 did become a little much i feel that they wrapped it up rather well.

I was very sad to see Michael die in the end though.... shed a couple tears

 

Funny; I sat, religously, through ten episodes of Mind of the Married Man, John from Cincinatti and Tell Me You Love Me; but never watched one minute of the Sopranos. Other than the family angle, I refuse to believe anything on this show wasn't already done in Mean Streets, Casino or Goodfellas.

Since the first hour of prime time was swallowed whole by reality television, there's nothing I would kill for more than a plain vanilla sitcom. And since the FCC will never lift their decency standards and let networks make real, watchable television, HBO and Showtime are probably more valuable than ever.

 

Looking back, I think that the show might have started to jump the shark when they cut off T-Bag's hand. At least Robert Knepper doesn't have put on a fake prosthetic ever again. I wonder if they let him keep it as a souvenir.

I think the show should have lasted 3 seasons (get rid of the 3rd). Season 1: the escape. Season 2: on the run and then turning towards finding out who set Lincoln up. Season 3: Taking down the company.

I thought season 4 started OK. We got to see Michael be brilliant which is what a lot of the first season was about. The problem was that he was coming up with everything on the fly and everything magically worked. In the first season, the plan was already premeditated with only some necessary improvisations. I think season 4 took a nosedive after they got Scylla and went to Miami. Everything just seemed to be thrown together after that.

 

HBO: watch The Wire please; Sopranos was overrated (very good show no doubt)

Bill Maher is a libertarian. His jokes are against the new/floundering GOP (Reagan/evangelical-Republican Party).

 

Anybody else annoyed with the VCast commercial in the first 20 minutes of the first hour showing Michael and Sarah walking out of the building with a bleeding Linc?

 

I loved the show, but sometimes they go too far with illogical stuff. How did C-Note and Sucre get from Chicago to Miami in 15 minutes?

 

who are you talking to and why are you posting your tv viewing habits in a prison break thread?

 

A 2 hour movie coming that fills in the four years between the end of the main plot and the end of the episode:
