show has potential but santora and olmstead are pretty bad writers

i mean they have a ton of ideas but they both lack the ability to write with the future in mind

look at prison break

the show started off great but by season 4 it was absurd

michaels mother is alive?
linc and michael arent brothers
sucre has a baby 3 months after maricruz is pregannt
mahone stops heroine withdrawlas cold turkey

maybe this show will be different since its not serial but i just dont like these guys style

For me the worst part was the more it progressed the less interesting the characters in Prison Break became. If it wasn't for T-Bag the later seasons would be unwatchable. Well Morgan and Mahone were okay too.

'Breakout Kings' poised to revive 'Prison Break' baddie

Talk about a no-brainer: Former Prison Break producers Matt Olmstead and Nick Santora are courting Robert Knepper to appear in their new A&E fugitive-themed drama Breakout Kings. The best part? The plan is for Knepper to resurrect his classic PB convict T-Bag!

According to sources, execs at 20th Century Fox — the studio behind Prison and Kings — have signed off on the crossover. Now a deal just needs to be hammered out with Knepper, whose killer PB alter ego was sent back to the slammer in the show’s series finale.

Kings, which is described as an “action-packed ensemble drama following an unconventional partnership between the U.S. Marshals’ office and a group of convicts as they work to catch fugitives on the run,” received an 11th hour reprieve last spring from A&E after Fox opted not to pick it up. It’s set to premiere in early 2011.

I really wish this concept on pick up of dead shows would catch on. I mean there are plenty of shows on network tv that just really are not made for network tv, and they get cancelled because of mediocre ratings. Those mediocre ratings however are actually great ratings on cable. Plenty of shows could have probably done well on cable but they never got the chance because they made their debut on a network. This happens occasionaly but not enough. Esepcially in the case of a network like NBC or Fox who also run great cable channels like USA or FX respectively.

Breakout Kings will be premiering March 13th on A&E. Never heard of this shoe before but it seems like a cool concept so I will be tuning in.
