'Prison Break' Gets The Death Penalty

Looks like the FOX drama Prison Break won't be serving a... life sentence after all. Because network execs apparently decided it was time to... execute it. I guess it didn't.... cell enough advertising.

Yeah, you get the picture. Not so much that Prison Break's cancellation was announced today, spelling the end of Dominic Purcell and co.'s handcuffed misadventures. But that we don't really have a great deal else to say about the program's conclusion, aside from making horrible puns that probably make you wish you were in solitary Internet confinement at the moment.

The show will return with new episodes on April 17 and air its series finale sometime that month. Although it's fitting that the axe will fall right around one of the holiest Jewish holidays, since the network apparently decided to... Passover another installment of episodes. Eh? Eh?
