Prison Break to run 22 continuous episodes.

Fox: No Hiatus for Prison Break

NOVEMBER 15, 2006 -

Fox is leaning toward running 22 consecutive episodes first-run of Prison Break this season straight through, choosing not to pull the series at the end of the November sweeps as it did last season, before bringing it back in March, Preston Beckman, executive vp, strategic program planning at Fox said today at the International Radio & Television Society breakfast session.

Last season, Fox pulled the series after the Nov. 28 episode and brought it back in first-run on March 20, airing it through May 22 which was the final week of the season. At the time, Fox got complaints from viewers who wanted to watch the series in consecutive weeks, like Fox airs its drama series 24.

This season, Fox has already aired 11 episodes but will continue running the next 11 originals. "We do have a little break because we will be airing two BCS [college Bowl Championship Series] games and a two-hour 24 premiere in January (in the Prison Break time period)," Beckman said, but it will run straight through after that."

Prison Break, much like other serials, ABC's Lost and Desperate Housewives, and its own 24, do not do well in repeat.

NBC also plans to air its freshman hit serialized drama, Heroes, straight through in originals, after only a short hiatus, beginning Jan. 22, according to Mitch Metcalf, executive vp, program planning and scheduling at NBC. The network has aired eight so far and will air three more in fourth quarter before bringing the series back in all first-run in January.

And ABC, which aired just six episodes of Lost and now has the series on hiatus, will bring it back in February and run the remaining 16 episodes. Jeff Bader, executive vp, ABC Entertainment, the network is hoping to keep viewer interest up during the hiatus by airing clips from the upcoming episodes during telecasts of Daybreak, the drama series that will be airing in the Lost, 9 p.m. Wednesday time period between now and February.

Bader said ABC decided on this strategy over two others--hold back premiering Lost this season until January and running it 22 episodes straight through, or airing the six episodes as it did and then airing Lost repeats until February when the originals return. Of the first option, he said the network was making too many other scheduling moves, like moving Grey's Anatomy to Thursday, and bringing on eight new shows, "plus we weren't sure how Dancing With the Stars would do." So the decision was made to open the season with some original Lost episodes. The second option was not selected, Bader said, "because Lost repeats are like crimes against humanity" when it comes to getting viewers.

CBS will pull its freshman serialized drama hit, Jericho, after its first-run Nov. 29 airing and bring it back in first-run in February also, rather than airing it in repeat during its first-run hiatus. Kelly Kahl, executive vp, programming operations, for CBS, said Jericho will still be available in repeat for viewers online, and said the network will be airing commercials touting the return of the show in February. --with Marc Berman

11月20日讯：福克斯公司的节目策划副总裁普雷斯顿·贝克曼(Preston Beckman)透露，《越狱》(Prison Break)第二季的22集将一次性播完，而不是照上一季那样，在十一月底停播，到次年三月再度上演。
　　2005年11月28日，《越狱》第一季播到第13集时戛然而止，余下的9集直到来年3月20日才与观众重新见面，让他们多受了几个月的煎熬，为此观众怨声四起，强烈要求《越狱》像《反恐24小时》(24)一样连续不间断播出。《越狱》的第二季迄今已播出一半，剩下的11集将继续播映。贝克曼说：“第二季播出期间，的确安排了几周的停播，因为要插播BCS比赛，明年一月还有一部两个小时的《反恐24小时》首播，但此后《越狱》将一直播下去。”

2006年11月十五日Fox is leaning toward running 22 consecutive episodes first-run of Prison Break this season straight through, choosing not to pull the series at the end of the November sweeps as it did last season, before bringing it back in March, Preston Beckman, executive vp, strategic program planning at Fox said today at the International Radio & Television Society breakfast session.
在今早召开的国际电台与电视协会会议上，福克斯节目编排部副总裁Preston Beckman透露，福克斯电视台很有可能将总共22集的越狱第二季连续播出，而不是像去年的第一季那样例行在11月停播，直至第二年的三月才继续播放。
Last season, Fox pulled the series after the Nov. 28 episode and brought it back in first-run on March 20, airing it through May 22 which was the final week of the season. At the time, Fox got complaints from viewers who wanted to watch the series in consecutive weeks, like Fox airs its drama series 24.
第一季于去年的11月28日至今年的3月20日停播，然后继续播放到5月22全部结束。期间福克斯电视台遭到了许多观众的抗议，他们希望越狱能像反恐24小时那样连续的播放

This season, Fox has already aired 11 episodes but will continue running the next 11 originals. "We do have a little break because we will be airing two BCS [college Bowl Championship Series] games and a two-hour 24 premiere in January (in the Prison Break time period)," Beckman said, but it will run straight through after that."
福克斯已经首映了第二季的前11集，与第一季不同的是剩下的11集会每周一继续播出。Beckman 坦言：“《越狱》确实会停播一段时间，因为要给两场冠军碗系列全国冠军赛让路，另外在明年一月份《反恐》两小时首映时（会占用越狱播出时间段）越狱也会推后播放，但之后便会正常播放“
Prison Break, much like other serials, ABC's Lost and Desperate Housewives, and its own 24, do not do well in repeat.
和其他一些连续剧如ABC电视台的《迷失》，《绝望的主妇》以及FOX的《反恐》一样，《越狱》也很少重播。
NBC also plans to air its freshman hit serialized drama, Heroes, straight through in originals, after only a short hiatus, beginning Jan. 22, according to Mitch Metcalf, executive vp, program planning and scheduling at NBC. The network has aired eight so far and will air three more in fourth quarter before bringing the series back in all first-run in January.
NBC（国家广播公司）的节目编排部副总裁Mitch Metcalf称NBC也打算将其热播电视连续剧《天骄》在暂停一段时间后在明年一月二十二日接着播出。《天骄》已经播出8集，第四季度还会播放3集。
And ABC, which aired just six episodes of Lost and now has the series on hiatus, will bring it back in February and run the remaining 16 episodes. Jeff Bader, executive vp, ABC Entertainment, the network is hoping to keep viewer interest up during the hiatus by airing clips from the upcoming episodes during telecasts of Daybreak, the drama series that will be airing in the Lost, 9 p.m. Wednesday time period between now and February.
而ABC（美国广播公司）已经停播了才播出六集的《迷失》，余下的16集将于明年二月恢复放映。ABC的执行副总裁Jeff Bader称他们会在播出《破日》的时候插播一些《迷失》的剪辑，《破日》的播出时间是从现在到二月，播出时段是原来《迷失》的时间段即每星期三的晚上9点。“

Bader said ABC decided on this strategy over two others--hold back premiering Lost this season until January and running it 22 episodes straight through, or airing the six episodes as it did and then airing Lost repeats until February when the originals return. Of the first option, he said the network was making too many other scheduling moves, like moving Grey's Anatomy to Thursday, and bringing on eight new shows, "plus we weren't sure how Dancing With the Stars would do." So the decision was made to open the season with some original Lost episodes. The second option was not selected, Bader said, "because Lost repeats are like crimes against humanity" when it comes to getting viewers.
”原来还有两个方案，一个是把《迷失》的所有22集全部在明年1月后部间断的播出，那样的话会很劳师动众要改动很多其他的计划，比如要把《实习医生Grey》调到周四以及新播8个节目，另外我们还不知道《与星共舞》该怎么办呢，所以最后我们还是决定先播几集《迷失》。另一方案是像以前那样先播前6集然后重播以前的剧集直至明年二月再首播剩余的16集，之所以没有选择第二个方案，是因为重播《迷失》就好像与公众为敌一样（悬疑片重播的话就不吸引观众了）“
CBS will pull its freshman serialized drama hit, Jericho, after its first-run Nov. 29 airing and bring it back in first-run in February also, rather than airing it in repeat during its first-run hiatus. Kelly Kahl, executive vp, programming operations, for CBS, said Jericho will still be available in repeat for viewers online, and said the network will be airing commercials touting the return of the show in February.
CBS（哥伦比亚广播公司）将会在11月29日停播热门电视连续剧《劫后余生》，并且会在二月恢复播放，也不会在停播时重播原来的剧集。负责节目调配的执行副总裁Kelly Kahl说《劫后余生》停播期间观众可以在网上观看重播，在二月恢复播放以前他们会放一些宣传广告提醒观众。
