      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After managing to escape from prison in Season One and barely staying one step ahead of the law in most of the second year, Michael Scofield (Miller) was captured yet again at the end of Season Two. Now Prison Break: Season Three finds not only Scofield, but also sleazeball T-Bag (Knepper), former guard Brad Bellick (Williams), and FBI Agent Mahone (Fichtner) all inside the same Panamonian hell hole. This time it's up to Michael's brother Lincoln (Purcell) to be the mastermind and help break him out of jail. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    There are better-looking TV shows on DVD, but the anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 picture generally delivers sharp images with deep black levels and balanced fleshtones. There is a distracting amount of noise in darker scenes, and near-black information is lost in the darkest areas. Colors are naturally saturated, and contrast seems accurate. The image can be digitally harsh at times, and noticeable

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #106 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    No one covers the issues in more detail than Widescreen Review. No one else has the breadth and depth of different review systems on which to base transfer quality opinions. Gary Reber has given more editorial space to important Home Theatre trends and technologies than anyone in the industry, AND he has Joe Kane and Greg Rogers on his staff as advisors/columnists. 'Nuff said.
