Television


Prison Break

Prison Break is an American serial drama television series that premiered on the Fow Broadcasting Company on August 29, 2005. The story revolves around a man who was sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit and his brother's elaborate plan to help him escape his death sentence.
The show recently concluded its third season. The uniqueness of Prison Break is attributed to its serialized story structure, a similar format used by Lost and 24, and to its setting, as very few television series were primarily set and filmed in a prison.

The recording period begins in late September (the start of the U.S. network television season) and ends in late May.
