“Prison Break” on Google Earth

September 11, 2006

Prison Break in Google EarthA popular TV show in Canada called “Prison Break” by Global and Fox has started its second season. I haven’t seen the show myself, but I read one synopsis of an episode which was about a brother who tries to free his wrongly accused brother from prison by getting himself incarcerated. Anyway, the good part is that the TV show’s web site is using Google Earth to help viewers follow some of the details. On this special maps page, they have a GE network link which lets you track the fugitives each week. Also, they have a collection of placemarks showing some of the world’s most famous prisons . I think more TV shows should think about using Google Earth like this. And, there’s so much more a TV show (with large production budgets) could do with GE to make things really interesting.
Thanks to Canadian Google Earth Blog reader Ted for the tip on “Prison Break”.

    I cannot get enough of Wentworth Miller!! I have stayed up until 5 in the morning to finish the season on dvd. All week long, I have done nothing except work, feed my children and watch season two of prison break. I am consumed by it. I don’t think I have ever been this addicted to a tv show in my life. I also don’t think I have ever had a crush on someone that I know I will never meet, but what can I say? I am a 32 year old married, working mother with three children who never gets to do anything exciting anymore. Anyway Wentworth Miller rocks my socks and I thank God for his talent!
