FOX put a lot of eggs in the revival basket last fall, bringing back new editions of both 24 and Prison Break.  While 24 had a mostly new cast, Prison Break brought back all of the familiar faces for another trip through the familiar formula of breaking out of jail and fighting against a corrupt government agent.  Unfortunately, sometimes you can’t go home again, and the 9 episode season turned out to mostly be a slog.  It seems like the idea to come back came first, and then someone decided to come up with a story.

FOX claims that it may bring the show back again at some time in the future.  If that is the case, I hope they have a better story behind it.
