Why do you like Prison Break? Why is it so famous?

The show is total crap, per real inmates and real cops.   But like Miami Vice in my era, it was entertainment.\n\nMy husband has been in federal prison for 26 years, so I know what real prison is like.   My problem with the show is that it glamourizes prison to young people, making prison trendy, whereas prison is really hell on earth. \n\nThe show gets a lot of press, and I'm dismayed to see youthful commentary like "Oh wow, Brittany, he is like so cool, ya know?"  "Ohmigod, Tiff, he is hot.   Should I get a tatto like that, I mean, really, it would be so cool to have barb wire around my arm!"  During a recent shopping expedition, I saw that Old Navy now carries a line of women's shirts that have prisoner's numbers on them.   By all means, let's wear numbers and pretend we are prisoners, because prison is so cool...\n\nI saw a young man on a 4-year drug charge die after being gang-raped at a prison that had one doctor for 2000 inmates.    I knew an elderly diabetic man who died in his wheelchair outside the medical unit waiting for assistance.   If you have a heart attack in a federal prison, you are dead.   You get up when they tell you, you eat when they tell you, you go outside if they let you, you go to bed when they tell you, you travel between units only when or if they let you.\n\nThey might hold your mail for two weeks before releasing it, making you miss an important court deadline.  They held a man's parole hearing in a storage room in their medical unit.  During visitation, sometimes your wife has to drag your screaming daughter or son out of your arms when it's time to say goodbye.   In my husband's case, I was not able to go tell him in person that our oldest son had died.   I had to tell him via a phone call.   Despite raising the money for a federal marshall's escort, he was still not allowed to attend the funeral.\n\nTHAT is reality in prison.   And along with millions of families of prisoners who live like this, THAT is why I can't stand the show.

Lost definately gets the vote for me. I cant wait to watch the next episode it has me hooked to the bone. I have the series on dvd and do not get tired of watching the episodes over and over again. The characters are strong and you find it intriguing to know what and where they are and if the islanders will ever get off the island. I cant wait to find out about the initiative series 3.\n\n24 is good and action packed but it does not have me as hooked and Prison Break does nothing at all for me. Who cares if they ever break out and im hoping its sooner rather than the next season of episodes.

Oh man, my hubby and I love Dog the Bounty Hunter.  That show is so entertaining!  I think Dog is really cool because you can tell he really cares and wants to help the people he catches stay out of trouble.  Chris Angel is ok, but hes just repetitive and gets boring after a while.

I LOVE Dog, Beth, Baby Lisa, Leland and the whole gang!  I even watch the re-runs, just to hear the theme song!  I think the best thing about Dog and his posse is that he really tries to help the fugitives change their lives for the better.  I always wonder what happens to the people he catches and if they clean up their acts.

Wow, these are 3 of my favorite shows (including the American version of The Office)!\n\nPersonally I give the edge to "Lost" simply because it's not as one dimensional as most TV shows.  On "Lost" you have the action of the series, the ongoing mystery of what's going on, but there are episodes that nearly, solely deal with the story behind a character.  So on one hand you have a supernatural type of show, and on the other hand a drama about human life and experiences.  A super solid show, my personal overall favorite.\n\nI rate "Prison Break" and "24" a virtual tie in terms of entertainment value.  Though "Prison Break" has experimented a bit in the last couple of weeks with introducing a bit of drama by exploring the various characters' back-story.\n\n"24" on the other hand is pedal to the metal, non-stop action, with little character or overall story development.\n\nAt this point I'll be highly disappointed when any of these 3 shows is canceled or retires, not to mention what will I watch this summer?

Yes I've seen it, it's cutting edge TV and pretty funny. I'm pretty sure FX renewed the show so you will be seeing it in the future. Peace to you on the West Coast, I'm writing to you from Philly.

It puts violent assholes in jail, I Love that show,I grew up in Ft Laud and not far from where they found part of Mr and Mrs Walshes son Adam, I cant understand ,and never will,Why a human being could do something like that to ANYONE!!!! I just wish he would do a series in dirty cops as well,Since I am experiencing some Dirty Cop stuff in Pompton Lakes New Jersey!

Make it about crime scene investigation - that seems to be all the rage. I personally don't watch those shows, though, I like TV that is creative and unique. For example: Wonderfalls, Firefly, Dead Like Me and The Pretender,

My husband loves it, he's addicted. He's afraid that now the show is so popular that the writers my change the original time line and drag it out to keep making money.\n\nHe's says they all could be dead or it could all be a dream. He thinks the writers are playing mind games with the viewer.

Wentworth Miller, the lead guy from Prison Break. Hands down.

Ohh, start watching Prison Break (If you don't already), while a little more gritty than Lost it's the suspense and intrigue that will keep you hanging on for the next episode. Best to start on the first episode though.

4.  24\nThis seirse keeps you on the edge the who time that you watch the program.  of course at the end the clif hanger ending leaves you breathless.  You feel like you can't wait the week to see the next part\n\n2.  prison break is very good this has many twists and turns.  You never seem to get enough in that hour and want more.  \n\n3.  heroes, each week you think you are getting closer to the answer when something different is added to the plot and at that point you know that you did not figure out this weeks ending \n\n1. lost\nI think the directors have gotten totally lost \nwill the writers ever think of a way to bring this show back\nwill the cast  stop increasing with long time residents on this tiny deserted island\nwill the fans keep coming back\nstay tuned next week to see if they have add godzilla
