List of Prison Break episodes

 * Fix the dab.
 * Some of your refs have moved.
 * The first Prison Break should be italicized as well.
 * "A hiatus over the 2007 Christmas period occurred because of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike before the third season resumed on January 14, 2008 with the airing of the last five episodes." is passive. Change it to the active "The show's third season went on hiatus over the 2007 Christmas period because of the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike. It resumed on January 14, 2008, and the last five episodes of the season were aired."
 * "Prison Break has been released on DVD in Regions 1, 2, and 4. The first three seasons have been released on DVD." Repetitive much? Try "The first three seasons have been released on DVD to Regions 1, 2, and 4."
 * Your "List of Seasons" section claims that there are four specials, but I only see three in your "Specials" section.
 * White text on a gray back for the "Specials" section? I could barely see the words!
 * In the episode summary for Access All Areas, it says "Like the other two special episodes, Access All Areas focuses on the beginning of its season." but fails to mention which season it is in. Similar issues for the other two specials.
 * In your refs, Prison Break is sometimes italicized and sometimes not. Make sure it is either always italicized or always not.
 * Ref 10 says "Tvshowsondvd.com" and has different capitalization than the other refs. You also switch between linking it and not linking it. It should be linked. (Ref 7, Ref 14)
 * Has not been fixed. N OCTURNE N OIR  ( t &bull; c ) 03:11, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Amazon.com is not linked for Ref 8, but is linked for Ref 11.
 * The format of your "Retrieved on" dates changes. Pick one format and stick to it. A similar issue occurs with the "date=" field.
 * All above fixed. NuclearWarfare  ( Talk ) 03:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Is there any particular reason the widths of columns of the tables change from season to season? It would look better if it was the same for each season.
 * The formatting is automatic, and works based on the length of the names. I am unsure how to fix this. NuclearWarfare  ( Talk ) 03:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Try something along the lines of :
 * Also take a look at formatting at List of Oh My Goddess! episodes and other similar lists. You should be able to do something similar on each individual list (i.e. each Season list) and purge the main list to fix it. N OCTURNE N OIR  ( t &bull; c ) 03:11, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I, as well as one of the Featured List directors (Scorpion), can't seem to fix it. Hopefully, this won't be a sticking point. NuclearWarfare  ( Talk ) 03:53, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The External Link is not relevant per WP:EL. That link is already on Prison Break (I hope) so it is unnecessary here.
 * Gone. NuclearWarfare  ( Talk ) 03:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, and I forgot this earlier: this list needs an image, preferably a logo.
 * I'll grab one. NuclearWarfare  ( Talk ) 03:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Support. Finally completely cleaned up. Fixed the widths myself (TAKE THAT, SCORPION!). Good work! N OCTURNE N OIR ( t &bull; c ) 04:40, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Comments from 
 * Lead


 * As of February 19, 2009, a total of 73 episodes of Prison Break have been aired, in addition to three special making-of episodes. -- Is it necessary to bold 73?
 * I have seen it before that way in other FLs, but I have debolded it, as it doesn't seem that necessary. NuclearWarfare  ( Talk ) 03:04, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * A similar schedule applied for the second season, which premiered in the United States on August 21, 2006. -- Its redundant to state that it was in the United States since you mentioned it is American earlier.
 * Removed. NuclearWarfare  ( Talk ) 03:04, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It resumed on January 14, 2008, and the last five episodes of the season were aired. The fourth season, consisting of 22 episodes, began in September 2008. -- Began what?
 * Changed to began airing, for addition clarity. NuclearWarfare  ( Talk ) 03:04, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * List of seasons


 * IMO it would be best to have a centered emdash in place of a blank column.
 * Oops, can't believe I missed that. NuclearWarfare  ( Talk ) 03:04, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * References

-- TRU  CO   02:03, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Why do you link thrfeed? If you want to link it, you may as well link all other publishers.
 * Changed. NuclearWarfare  ( Talk ) 03:04, 19 February 2009 (UTC)


 * One last thing before I fully lend support, can the section headers such as "Season 1" be made into subheaders of the "List of seasons" header?-- TRU  CO   23:01, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Done, with a slight reorganization. . NuclearWarfare  ( Talk ) 23:06, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

 * File:PB S4 Intro.png fails NFCC.
 * Since this FLC we no longer transclude episode lists.
 * "the Tattoo", doesn't merit a capital letter
 * Can we cite the Specials as they are not covered by IGN.
 * Can you make season 3 have black title headings as the white is a bit difficult to read
 * Was PB simulcast in any other countries? I think it was, possibly Canada and/or the UK. If so that needs mentioning, to adhere to a worldwide point of view.
 * Mention digital media releases after DVD/Blu-ray bit. These may include Amazon Unbox, Hulu, iTunes Store, Xbox Live Marketplace etc.
 * I would be strongly in favour of including the viewing figures. This is a recent series and they are not difficult to find.
