After the last post from an executive at Fox, it seemed like the network had no intention of airing the final two hours of Prison Break. And because there is absolutely NO other freaking news about the show, I'm going to keep this debate going with another little update. Here's what TV Guide has to say about those extra two hours:

 

I heard that Fox is not going to air the extra two episodes of Prison Break. Please tell me if this is true or not! - Liz

MATT: First, a little background for those just passing by: Prison Break returns Friday, April 17, with six episodes that will wrap up the series in a tidy (if bloodstained) bow. Beyond that, 20th Century Fox TV is independently producing an additional two hours that could serve as a standalone "event" à la 24: Redemption. The Fox network has yet to commit to airing those hours, but if PB ends with a bang, you can bet they'll find room on the schedule. Who will appear in the standalone story, you (didn't exactly) ask? Pretty much anyone left breathing at the end of May - plus Jodi Lyn O'Keefe's Gretchen.

 

So, it seems to me that if the raitings are good, then the episodes will air.  If not, prepare to shell out money for the Season 4 boxset and we'll all get to enjoy those extra two hours without pesky commercials.
