Prison Break (season 2)
I have been working on the list for the past two days now, and believe it meets the FL criteria. Since there is no criteria for a season page for a television series, I modeled the page after 30 Rock (season 2), which is a FL. The only difference between the two pages is a "crew" section in the 30 Rock list, which I intentionally omitted. Crew sections provide no information that cannot be summarized in the episode list. I placed the production companies in the lead, and for anyone who wants to know about the show runners, executive producers etc., they can check the main Prison Break page. The episode summaries are arguably a bit short, however I believe that those who want to know further information can check the episode articles themselves. The summaries on the 30 Rock list are just as short, so I guess its not a large problem. Anyways, I look forward to the comments,  Corn.u.co.pia /  Disc.us.sion  07:09, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

 * "The season contained 22 episodes" -- current tense should be used; this implies it no longer consists of 22 episodes
 * "which wants them all dead." -- > "that wants them all dead."
 * "The second second saw the downgrading" repeated/missing word?
 * Dallas, Texas, but Pensacola, Florida
 * "Critical reviews of the season were mixed, however the addition of" -- Correct use of "however" in this sentence is to use a semi colon after "mixed", and a comma after "however"
 * WP:EGG: brother. No one will click on "brother", but they might click on "he was framed for murdering Terrence Steadman, the brother of the Vice President of the United States, Caroline Reynolds."
 * Same for "his girlfriend"
 * "written off the series" --> "written out of the series"
 * "20 of the 22 episodes where shot." --> "...were shot" (typo)
 * rewrite "and approximately $1.4 million went to the local economy per episode." because "Each episode" begins the sentence
 * "however the season finale received one of the lowest audiences" same punctuation problem as mentioned before
 * There is a lot of repetition of "the second season". To break this up, how about "season two", or simply "the season", since we know it's the second.
 * "T-Bag finds help for his cut-off hand" does that mean what I think it does?! :-O How about "severed" or "amputated"?
 * I'll take a closer look at the rest of the episode summaries later, but there's a striking contrast between the 4 or 5 lines used to summarise the first 13 episodes, and the 1 or 2 lines used for the latter part of the season.
 * You're using the DVD cover to identify the season, but it should be accompanied by some commentary. The article makes no mention of a DVD release. Perhaps you could include this information? Stuff such as date(s), region(s) or countries, special features, sound, aspect, etc. Take a look at Lost (season 3) and Degrassi season 6.
 * Was the season released in any other format? iTunes, XBox Marketplace, etc etc?
 * Thanks for the comments, and I have fixed most requests. I am still in the process of increasing all the summaries, however the increased ones are done. The DVD release dates were in the infobox, so I just added the region 1 date to the lead. Will you accept this as enough commentary? Apart from special features, nothing that I can add has any significance, and only mentioning spec. features is not enough to warrant another subheading, IMO. Are other formats, i.e. iTunes or XBox really notable? I'm willing to let it slide, it you are... Anyways, thanks for the helpful comments.

 * A DVD table was added, better?  Corn.u.co.pia /  Disc.us.sion

Support Everything looks good to me apart from that "eason" under reception! And to answer your question, the decimal point rule only applies with numbers in the same units - in this case the unit is viewers, so percentages, currencies, etc stay as they were. Well done! — 97198 (talk) 00:19, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:32, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Reply to comments by Rambo's Revenge. All of your comments have now been addressed, except for the episode table issue. Since this is a big task (if I do change the table, then all the season tables will need to be changed and the "List of" page; that's eight tables in total), I ask that you allow us to make these changes later, preferable after the FLC. Thoughts?  Corn.u.co.pia  /  Disc.us.sion  03:17, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
