TCA news today from the Universal Hilton.  Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell are available. Fox's`Prison Break' will go dark after four seasons.

The network announced the drama will conclude with about a half-dozen episodes starting April 17.

The decision to end "Prison Break" was right, said Kevin Reilly, Fox entertainment president.

"We didn't give it the hook," Reilly told a meeting of the Winter session of the Television Critics Association. "The show just played out. I think you get to the point where creatively everyone feels enough stories were told.".
