Prison Break returns tonight for a two hour installment between 8p-10pm (but the first hour is a repeat).   Though without Dollhouse and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I think there will be less interest in the Friday night ratings, I do believe fans of those shows will be looking to see how Prison Break does.

Last week, FOX averaged about a 1.4 adults 18-49 rating for the night (1.3 for TSCC, 1.4 for Dollhouse).  If Prison Break does better there might be a little freaking out.  And if it does worse, some people will be "See!  FOX neeeeeds Dollhouse and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles!

My guess is it will do about the same to slightly better than last week's numbers, a 1.5-1.6 wouldn't surprise me .  Doing noticeably worse would surprise me.  We'll know tomorrow morning.

Update: my lack of Prison Break knowledge is showing. Sorry!  As Alex points out in the comments, the first hour is a repeat (confirmed), so we'll only really be looking at the 9p-10p hour comparisons...unless a repeat of Prison Break outperforms the TSCC finale at 8pm...
