Fox bringing back Breaking In
Television’s fear of letting go of Christian Slater has convinced Fox to revive Breaking In, the well-received though frequently mistreated sitcom about the gang at a high-tech security firm. Like only Family Guy before it, this marks the second resurrection for the show, which began as one of the network’s most anticipated pilots before being banished to mid-season, then dropping off the schedule entirely. During the recent TCAs, Fox’s Kevin Reilly continued this abusive relationship by hinting that the show could eventually come back as “stranger things have happened,” which is the sort of frustratingly noncommittal stuff Fox always says, and yet shows keep coming back there, even though all of their friends say they can do better.
