Previous forays into prison produced mixed results. Hereare some of the notable efforts. "Hognn's Heroes,"1965-71, CBS:Controversial for its innocuous depiction of a Nazi prisoner-of-war camp, the real offense of "Hogan's Heroes" was its limp humor. "The Prisoner,"1968, CBS:Patrick McGoohanstarred in this British-made series about aspy sent to a bizarre prison. Psychedelic, metaphorical and utterly wacky, "The Prisoner" retains a cult following. Remadeas a miniseries in 2009. "Women in Prison,"1987-88,Fox:Thisone-seasonwonderhad a setup not unlike that of "Orange Is theNewBlack" but enjoyed considerably less success. Julia Campbell played ayuppie sent to prison, where sheserved time with a varied cast. C.C.H. Pounder, Peggy Cassand Wendie JoSperber co-starred. "Ox,"1997-2003, HBO:The first one-hour drama series produced by HBOtook place in an imposing maximum security prison in New York. Thelarge ensemble cast included Ernie Hudson, Harold Perrineau Jr., J.K Simmonsand DeanWinters. "Prison Break," 2005-09, Fox: A long-form adventure saga about a group of prisoners who escapeand go onthe run, "Prison Break" ran out of story steam wheneveryone realized youcan break out of prison only once.
