FOX Renews Prison Break, Cancels Jezebel James

FOX to Jezebel:  “Three strikes, you’re out.”

After only two weeks on air, the new comedy starring Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose has just been given the boot.  The Return of Jezebel James - which averaged only 3.2 million viewers during its hour long debut - failed to give its network a reason to feel hopeful.  After a second dismal outing, FOX opted to pull the plug on the show….effective immediately.

This news comes shortly after Canterbury’s Law was shifted to the Friday 9pm time slot.  That move was prompted by the program’s lackluster returns in its original Monday position.  Now that Jezebel has been axed, it’s unclear which show and/or repeat will serve as Canterbury‘s lead-in during the interim.

‘Prison Break’ Premiere A Ratings Disappointment

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Daytime, Prime Time, FOX, Prison Break, Ratings

Who says the third time’s a charm?

At 7.9 million viewers, Monday night’s premiere of Prison Break was a ratings dud.  Season Three’s opener was down approximately 2 million as compared to last year.  Even reruns of How I Met Your Mother and The New Adventures of Old Christine fared better in the same time slot last night.  Unfortunately, this slow start doesn’t bode well for the rest of Prison’s season.  Come next Monday, the inmates will be facing stiff competition from Dancing With The Stars and a new episode of Mother.

But should the execs at Fox really be surprised by the low turnout?  I think it’s safe to say they underestimated the fans who wanted more than rehash.  This time it’s Lincoln trying to save Michael?  What a twist!  Half the cast is locked up in the same prison?  Convenient!  Pretty boy Michael Scofield hasn’t been turned into someone’s b**** in that hellish Panamanian prison? C’mon!!!!  Does anyone honestly believe he could survive with that steely glare alone?  I was already miffed when I heard Dr. Sara Tancredi would be absent from the show; last night’s lackluster episode has just compounded my disappointment.

Granted, this show has never been based on plausibility…but it was once based on creativity.  Just knowing the series could be extended for another two or three years is already tiring me out.  And since the writers are constrained by the show’s title—who will eventually end up in prison next?  Lincoln’s son?

Scoop On FOX’s ‘Prison Break’

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, Prison Break

Remember believing Prison Break was going to be a single-season show?  Ever wondered how long the jailbirds could keep running?  Still hoping the series can eventually finish on a satisfying and climactic note?

Well it may put a damper on your Season Three viewing enjoyment to know an end is probably nowhere in sight.  Wentworth Miller (Michael Scofield) is already hinting that another two or three seasons could still be in the works.  WTF??  Let’s just hope Prison doesn’t run creatively dry like that other FOX show, 24.

Meanwhile, I have to lodge another complaint against the series.  What does it have against strong women?  It was hard enough not to take it personally when Veronica (Lincoln’s girlfriend) was killed off early last season.  Now it’s being reported by TV Guide that Dr. Sara Tancredi—Scofield’s druggie honey—will soon be MIA as well.  It’s not known why or how the character will disappear, but I find the decision to be quite suspect considering actress Sarah Wayne Callies just become a mother in real-life.
