Great for Prison Break!

And it built-in audiences as the night progressed. I would expect a little drop-off, like how 24 premieres. Should be interesting to see if it holds next week.

Wentworth Miller.

What the heck is Prison Break even about?

The title says it all.

If Prison Break holds up next week, I think that'll be enough for a full-season ok.

I didn't watch it, even though I kinda wanted to.

I don't really need another show to latch on to.

Nice for Prison Break.

I wanted to catch it last night, but went out with friends instead. It looked good.

FEAR NOT! "Prison Break" will re-air on Thursday, from 8-10pm on FOX. Please catch it. Libs makes you people watch Desperate Housewives and Arrested Development, and while no one can deny their awesomeness, Prison Break needs to be watched, too! If anything, to help Arrested Development in 2 weeks. So, you're helping me and Libs. Two birds with one stone!

Good for Prison Break. It'll be nice if these numbers keep up, but I don't know... baseball might give it a boost, if it's advertised enough in October during the playoffs.

Hey, I liked Prison Break too, heh.

That's a cheap tactic, using Libs' name to influence the rest of us to do your bidding.

I take it it's not a reality show?

Prison Break is an example of a show that was assured strong initial ratings thanks to an agressive and appealing ads campaign.
Last year ABC showed the way with its saturative ads for TV shows; this year everyone else is trying the same.

Aggressive and appealing? Who'da thunk it that networks would go for that? I think FOX was going to just air the show without ads, until ABC started advertising their shows last year.

Wow, I didn't know ABC is such a trendsetter of ad campaigns that have been practiced for decades.

The other networks thought the space between shows was really for bathroom breaks, not to advertise stuff.

I agree with Dkmuto, I wanted to watch but I really can't afford to get attached onto another series. That is all regardless of the fact that I couldn't catch the premier or its repeat on account of cruising the Mexican shores!
