What I'm Watching: Prison Break (new show title needed)

Prison Break: Season 4, Episode 3 "Shut Down" (F)

First and foremost, this show needs a new title. There is no prison whatsoever to be broken out of, and after a quick scare that they might all be headed back to the can, it's clear that stubborn bad actor Michael Rappaport is determined to keep his boys out of jail just as long as Michael keeps recording stuff with his cell phone and they delivering those pizza slices. It's ludicrous that they wouldn't keep at least one government agent around the convicts to ensure that they don't escape. It might even give Rappaport more to do than throw temper tantrums at wondrous guest star Michael O'Neill (the higher-up FBI guy - if you don't know why I'm a huge fan, watch the first two episodes of season one of "24"). The Company assassin is getting really tired, making up stories about picnics, and really, the body count on this show is abysmal. The survival rate is worse than on "24," which is really hard to do. I don't know why I put myself through this show week after week, but there's something deep down inside me that hopes that it might eventually return to that rush of excitement I still get from watching the last two episodes of season one, among others. It's possible, if I fully embrace an idea of suspension of belief, perhaps it could one day, but I doubt that.
