NOTE FROM LB: TVWriter™ critic-at-large Diana Vaccarelli has been covering Prison Break all season, but events conspired against her most recent observations getting up and running here in a timely fashion, i.e., before Prison Break’s short season ended.
So here are her last two reviews of the show, along with our apologies to Diana for dropping the ball:
—SPOILER ALERT—SPOILER ALERT—SPOILER ALERT—SPOILER ALERT–

May 24, 2017 will go down in history for sure – as a day of genuine showbiz infamy. On that date, ABC released a remake of the 1987 classic film of female coming of age Dirty Dancing, with catastrophic results for all involved.
THE GOOD:
—SPOILER ALERT—SPOILER ALERT—SPOILER ALERT—SPOILER ALERT–
The last three weeks of Prison Break: Episodes 4, 5, and 6 have been intense and all blend together as, in effect, one long episode, so I’m writing one review for all three. Plotwise, they cover Michael escaping Ogygia Prison and reuniting with his brother Lincoln, with Isil on their tail as they are running through the desert. Oh, and at last Michael reveals to Lincoln the real reason why he faked his death.
Whew!

At the end of April, GREAT NEWS, a new sitcom produced by Tina Fey and created by Tracey Wigfield, a writer from Ms. Fey’s 30 ROCK, premiered on NBC. Like its predecessor, GREAT NEWS is also an exaggerated behind the scenes look at how TV works. This time around, however, the series centers around a news producer and her relationship with her mother, who unexpectedly begins working with her as an intern.
THE GOOD:
—SPOILER ALERT—SPOILER ALERT—SPOILER ALERT—SPOILER ALERT–
On April 18, 2017, Prison Break: Season 5 Episode 3 The Liar aired. In this episode T-Bag surprises Sarah and informs her that two henchmen are following her. Meanwhile, in Syria, Lincoln attempts to recover his stolen passport, and Michael makes his move to escape Ogygia, the prison he is in.
