I don't know if anyone else has seen/mentioned this yet. If so, I apologize.

I was cleaning up the TiVo harddrive on Sunday and happen to see the preview of Fox's fall lineup was being touted - hosted by Randy Jackson (and MY GOD did I want to slap him for his overuse of the word "dog") Anyway, I wanted to see the preview for Bones and Kitchen Confidential so I watched. Imagine my shock and surprise when the opening montage contained a clip from The Inside! There was Danny saying "you know her problem?" and Web (in all his Web-ishness) saying "I know all your problems". Man, it was cruel for them to do that. To make matters worse, the show they are promoting the most? Prison Break. Every preview I've seen makes this show look so stupid, and The Inside gets the shaft. *sigh*

Everywhere I go, I see Prison Break. Billboards, bus shelters, queens on the sides of coaches. It's quite irritating.

Though I will say, having seen the pilot, it doesn't suck. I'm just still unclear on how they're going sustain the premise over multiple seasons.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The pilot for Prison Break was more interesting and charismatic than the one for Bones, by far.

It's just the premise that gets me. Your brother conveniently designs the prison he subsequently is sent to so in order to "clear" him, you comit a crime and get thrown in the same prison to break him out??? It just seems so far out for a non-fantasy based show. Yeah, I know vampires, etc but I dunno if I can suspend my belief for this (do they at least tell you how the brother gets sent to the exact same prison? Wouldn't the corrections board not want them in the same facility?)

IIRC, they do cover that at sentencing. Something about the level of security required.

Okay, since these are spoilers...

IIRC, he wasn't the engineer on record. His firm had the contract. I don't remember if he worked on the project or just copied the plans and tattooed them on his body. As for the prison issue, he pled guilty and didn't ask for any considerations, other than a request to be placed at a prison close to home, which the judge granted.

since you've seen those two, ita, have you also seen the pilot for Kitchen Confidential?

Yerp! NB wasn't in it much. I liked it, and was disappointed to realise it was only half an hour. BC is working the charisma. Bad boy lite.

Which reminds me -- he's in The Wedding Crashers, too, which I totally wasn't expecting.
