So they really did break out....

As followers of great t.v. shows and as promoters of all things Chicago (and, well of pretty boys), we here at hyphenatedtwentysomething, took great pride that one of the few gems currently on television took place in Chicago and its surrounding area. However, today, comes the sad news, that one of our beloved shows, one of the cool factoids that we, Chicagoans, could thrown in the face of those New Yorkers and Californians, has now run away from us:

The hit Fox series, [Prison Break] which has its first season finale Monday, is not returning to shoot its second season in the Chicago area...

"Although producers had a great experience here, the script needs and production requirements required the move," said Brady Breen, the show's Chicago location manager, who said he was informed of Fox's decision a week ago. [ link]

So apparently pretty boy and gang, did break out of our city after all. I hope they come back and visit and they're smart enough to realize that part of what made their show unique was that it was shot somewhere in the Midwest, and not at some Hollywood lot. But really, if by "production requirements" they mean some delusional, completely unbelievable set portraying the Chicago skyline, just so they can go shoot it at some random L.A. location, then that's it. You've lost my respect. Here's hoping pretty boy (and the gang) will come back home...

I can't believe the pretty boys are leaving us.
