Prison Break

hi I'm still quite young a teenager actually. i've been glued to the chair every Tuseday night. and i give out if someone even whispers a word to me. while i'm watching it. it is one of the best TV shows i have ever seen. i used to think lost was good but prison break is much better. lost just drags on and on and never seems to end. prison break at the moment is very good and i can't wait to watch it next week. i never imagined that Micheal(Wenthworth Miller) would burn himself. and that the tattoo would burn just were the needed to use it.they should make more TV shows like this one this is the best one and i son't ever want it to end i nearly cry when it ends every Tuseday only joking but i don't want it 2 end i can't wait till the first season is over cause i'm going to buy it but i don't want it to b over for a while cause then i'd have nothing to watch at all and that would be terrible
