TCA Roundup: Crazy Like Fox, or Like NBC

Some headlines from the programmers' presentations to the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Los Angeles: 

* In season 5 of Rescue Me, Daniel Sunjata's character, Franco, will argue that 9/11 was an inside job and conspiracy. And Sunjata agrees with him. 

* Prison Break has been sentenced to death.

* The Arrested Development movie is... "almost happening." Meanwhile, Mitch Hurwitz's Sit Down, Shut Up gets an April start date. 

* Finally, Fox network head Kevin Reilly is not sounding so regretful these days that he got canned from NBC. Or as he calls it, "the crazy ex-wife I can't get away from."
