Location, location, location

Mile-a-Minute Commentary for Monday; 60 words or so per show:
Prison Break: As Michael stepped into a stunning New Mexican vista, I had a thought – last season was easy. Not the actual breaking out of prison; that was clearly tough. But filming it. Last year, they were basically within the same prison walls. This year is a triumph of location scouting and shooting, as they’re rarely in the same place twice.
Heroes: Hiro discovers another potential hero… who gets the top of her head ripped off shortly thereafter. Is Mr. Bennet (aka Horn-Rimmed Glasses Man) truly evil, or is he more of an ends-justify-the-means type of guy? This season’s biggest breakthrough continues to fire on all cylinders, leading up to what looks like a big mid-season ep next week. Save the Cheerleader...
Studio 60: Aside from the fact that it’s an ancient cliché having the small-town folks teach those big city boys a lesson, the problem with this whole stuck in Nevada plot is that it was misplaced. We’re not all that comfortable seeing the cast in their regular environment – let the fish swim successfully before putting them out of water.
