Lets Talk NEWS

Ok first off CBS’sMoonLight” one of my fall Fav pics got an order for 4 more scripts to be made. Something is better than nothing now a days with the networks. Second another one of my Fall Favs got a full season which is ABC’s ” Pushing Daises”. I’m not one to brag, but I can pick winners when I see them. NEXT, but not least what if I told you FOX’s hit “Prison Break” might have a spin off. According to The Hollywood Reporter, FOX has ordered a script for the tentatively titled “Prison Break: Cherry Hill”. he show’s centerpiece would be Molly, an upper-middle-class wife whose family is torn apart by the mysterious Company, the vast government conspiracy that just can’t stop messing with the lives of Michael (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) on “Prison Break.” Seeking revenge and perhaps reading about Michael and Linc in the papers, Molly finds her way down to the maximum security Panamanian prison Sona.That will bring the character, currently uncast, into the “Prison Break” universe at some point next spring. “Prison Break” is going on a planned hiatus from January through mid-April.In “Cherry Hill,” Molly would find herself in a women’s detention center facing a life sentence. Naturally, additional information about the Company and surviving members of her family would lead her to seek both freedom and revenge.While it’s customary to use a cresting show as the launching point for a spinoff (like “Grey’s Anatomy” giving birth to “Private Practice”), there’s some precedent for a show in a ratings decline spawning successful offspring. With “The Practice” on the verge of cancellation, for example, ABC and David E. Kelley created “Boston Legal” out of its ashes.If “Women’s Prison Break” doesn’t go forward, the trade paper indicates that Molly could stick around the original “Prison Break” as a regular character, assuming that show gets a fourth season.After averaging just under 9.4 million viewers in its second year and 9.2 million in its first, the “Prison Break” audience has been markedly down this fall. Monday (Oct. 23) night’s viewership of roughly 7.45 million was the season’s second highest to date
