It is with my deepest regret that I must spread the news that the beloved show Prison Break has officially been cancelled. Fox announced yesterday that the show will end its run after the 4th Season, which is the current season. The final episodes will begin airing on April 17th. Although I love Prison Break and am saddened by this news, I can totally understand why Fox is canceling the show. In all honesty there is only so much you can do with a show that is supposed to be based on breaking out of prison. Granted the show did an excellent job with the concept having 2 seasons that focused on breaking out of prison. However, the current season although good, doesn’t have much to do with the initial concept, I don’t think anyway. Plus when the show first came out I heard that creator Paul Scheuring only had a storyline arc that would go for 4 seasons. On a side note, I am still so far behind on this season, I think like 7 episodes maybe. Don’t get me wrong I think this season is great; I just can’t seem to get caught up. Looks like I will need to make sure I am all caught up by April 17th. I want to say that I will miss Michael, Lincoln and the rest of the crew. More will be posted on this subject as the finale nears this spring.

24 is back finally! It has been basically 2 years since us 24 fans have gotten to see Jack Bauer in action. Granted there was the 2-hour movie in November but that was pretty much a teaser for fans. The 4-hour, 2-night event begins tonight at 8PM EST on Fox. That is right in classic 24 form the show will air four hours right away to kick things off. I love it that 24 does that, because I always get hooked in the first hour. Clearly I am a huge TV fan with a blog called TV Fanatic but I gotta say 24 seriously is my all time favorite show. There are very few shows that I watch live since the invention of the DVR, but 24 is a must see night of live show in my book. The action is great, the storylines kick ass and the cast is always phenomenal. And I am not just talking about Keifer Sutherland who I think is amazing as Jack Bauer. Whether the cast is recurring or a series regular the characters aare brilliant and the actors the same. Seriously 24 is hands down the best show on television and for me to say that considering how much I love Gossip Girl you know it has to be true. So settle in for a huge 24 event starting tonight at 8PM EST.
