Fox's Fall: Prison Break Is Back Early
Fox revealed its 2006-07 schedule (posted in the Ausiello Report) on Thursday morning, and once again the season will launch early with the mid- to late August return of Prison Break, which will have aired its freshman finale just three months prior. (Alas, Prison Break will — once again — take a prolonged break come January, to make room for 24, then finish out its run later in the season, perhaps spilling into summer.) Speaking of 24's new season, Fox entertainment president Peter Liguori, who has been debriefed on Jack's next bad day, said in a conference call, "They amaze us with their storytelling each year [and] I can assure you they have something up their sleeve that will compete with [Jack pursuing no less than the U.S. president]." Interestingly, despite the tough crowd that will soon be occupying Thursdays at 9, The O.C. is staying put — albeit not premiering until after the MLB playoffs. Once ABC moved Grey's Anatomy to Thursdays, "We had a very brief discussion about possibly moving The O.C.," Liguori tells TVGuide.com, "but the show has an incredibly loyal audience and we feel that audience will be there." Ah, but will Marissa be there?
