But when it comes to what Id walk over my grandmother not to miss, the answer isPrison Break.
I lovePrison Breakmadly, deeply, truly.
Ive scoped the entire run, and even I have only the dimmest idea of whats going on.

And that doesnt detract from my pleasure even a little bit.
EW fact-checkers will have a go at fix this.
I wont let them.
Michael commits a robbery so he can also go to prison and bust his brother out.
The escape plan is tattooed on Michaels body.
(It gets lasered off in season 4: the whole thing, all at once.
With me so far?
Anyway, Michael and Linc escape with a bunch of assorted fruits and nuts.
The most over-the-top is T-Bag, a degenerateNight of the Hunter-key in psycho brilliantly played by Robert Knepper.
Of Holland, I think.
(He jumps off a water tower.)
They are chased by a badass prison guard named Bellick and a pill-popping FBI lunatic named Alex Mahone.
Mahone killed and buried a guy in his backyard, but thats another story.
Heres the part that kills me: All the survivors except Linc wind up in a Panamanian prison!
Its called Sona (Spanish for Fox Mulder).
Not a yummy picture.
Needless to say, theres another escape.
T-Bag gets lost in the desert and is forced to chow down on his running buddy.
Eat some bad Mexican?
I especially enjoy William Fichtner as Alex Mahone Fichtners probably the best character actor on TV.
These guys play it straight, so the audience does the same.
For season 5, I hope its a gulag in Siberia.
