Bryce Zabel's FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH: Prison Break

Featured Blog of the Month

What if JFK got out of Dallas alive?

FOX's new series, Prison Break, has already received a "Season Pass" on my TiVO. It's the story of a man who goes to prison in order to help break out his brother, wrongfully accused of murder and condemned to die.

The Ultimate in Brotherly Love?

Like Rome on HBO, though, I think it may appeal more to men than women. Actually, I'd bet money on that. Rome has a chance to broaden out quite a bit with all its sexual intrigue. Still, two new series, two new season passes.

Anyway, back to Prison Break. By the time the main character Michael Scofield (played by Wentworth Miller) was getting his toe clipped off in the final shot (by the guy who played the crazy cosmonaut in Armageddon, no less), my wife was outta there for good. She won't be watching with me next week. She only agreed to check out the premiere with me because Stacy Keach who plays the warden is also in my upcoming Blackbeard miniseries, starring as BB's mentor, Captain Benjamin Hornigold.

And I just have to say this to my own brother: if you get put away in the slammer and I know you're innocent, I am going to march right out and hire you the best damn lawyer I can find. Count on it.
