Fall TV Season Gets Crawling

FOX is the first network offering a slight scratch for that itch all of us tv junkies have been feeling since May. Tonight is the kick off for season 2 of Prison Break followed by the premiere of the show Vanished. We can thank baseball for the early starts as the network wanted to get the audience into the swing of things before the playoffs begin. I will take what I can get.
Unfortunately this is just a small taste of what's to come. No other fall tv shows premiere in August and some will not premiere until as late as the new year (24, Scrubs, Medium)

Prison Break picks up right where it left off; the gang is on the run, they are being chased by Billick, and they all have their own agendas. Each escapee has his own place he prefers to be, but there is the case of 5 million dollars in hidden treasure and they certainly won't completely be able to seperate from one another until the money is found.

Vanished is a FOX drama that centers on the search for Sara Collins. She's the wife of Senator Jeffrey Collins. Sara vanishes and the FBI lead by Agent Graham Kelton is on the job, but before they can find her they need to find out who she really is. The mystery surrounding the disappearance is seen through the eyes of the FBI, members of the family and a reporter trying to get the story of her career. The search for Sara will expose many secrets. Nothing is as it seems.

The story sounds pretty compelling, but if the audience isn't there I expect it to be pulled quickly. Vanished is one of two kidnapping shows this season, the other being the creatively named Kidnapped. I guess kidnapping and disappearance is this years alien show.

I will make sure to post a mini-review tonight after the shows go off the air. I know most of my friends tend to come in on shows pretty late and this will be a nice way to let you guys know whether a show is worth watching. And as you know I haven't steered you wrong before. (Lost, HELLO!)

Also in the coming weeks I will post my MUST WATCH GUIDE to fall TV. I will hold it until a little closer to the hard launch of the season.
