Prison Break season 3: Where's the commentaries?

I noticed the press release for Prison Break season 3 didn't include any episode commentaries like they have in the past.

What gives? Will this one not have any (which I would find hard to believe) or did they just not mention them for some reason?

Just a guess but I think it's a 'victim' of the writer's strike and the show deciding to wait until next season to return. Had they returned for a few episodes after the strike or if there hadn't been a strike, they probably would have recorded some commentaries but when they didn't come back, Fox probably decided to toss the commentaries altogether for the set.

I think alot of shows from this year are going to have less or no commentaries.

Can I just say right now how much I hope that's not the case and how much it would suck if that were the case. I LOVE commentaries!

(I've seen press releases for "Heroes" and "30 Rock" having them, though).

Now that you mention those, maybe you're right and there won't be significantly less commentaries for the shows that returned to production after the strike.

Heroes didn't return after the strike but fortunately, they put their commentaries online after the episode airs so they had already recorded them before the strike.
