Good News, Bad News: PRISON BREAK Cancelled, 24 & President Bush
January 13th, 2009
Good News: Calling the show “creatively played out” FOX President Kevin Reilly announced this morning that FOX has canceled PRISON BREAK with plans to air its final batch of episode starting April 17. Bad News: It took FOX this long to realize that PRISON BREAK was creatively played out, seriously? [Source]
Good News: The return of 24 attracted nearly 13 million viewers, besting November’s disappointing prequel numbers by 400,000. Bad News: Unfortunately, Sunday’s premiere still managed to garner 20 percent fewer viewrs than its previous season opener back in January 2007. [Source]
Bad News: Outgoing President Bush’s request to address the American public one last time has wrecked havoc on Thursday night’s television schedule (with FOX already bumping the return of BONES). Good News: The phrase “outgoing President Bush” sure does have a nice ring to it. [Source]

BAD NEWS: TV Guide stops listing CW and MTV shows, yet continues listing MyNet, QVC and Noggin.
GOOD NEWS: People stopped reading TV Guide about a decade ago, so no one will even notice.
(Overheard inside TV Guide boardroom):
“GOOD NEWS!” We’re not going to list The CW programs anymore.
“VERY BAD NEWS”: Oh, we can’t still use their hunky stars as cover stories to sell our magazine anymore…? Uh, er…eh….maybe we didn’t think this thru quite enough.
