I'm not sure how wise it really is to launch a new season of a TV show on Labor Day. Will people be at home on the couch, or will they biting into some corn on the cob at a barbecue somewhere? The CW and Fox are both hoping it'll be the couch, as both Gossip Girl [1] and Prison Break [2] return for new seasons tonight. (After a toll-paying stunt [3], TNT's Raising the Bar [4] also premieres tonight, and One Tree Hill [5] starts its sixth season.)

What more is there to say, really, about the Gossip Girl premiere? We've seen the photos [6], the clips [7], and even the first five minutes [8]. And yet, I'm sure there will be a surprise or two in tonight's episode, which finds the crew wrapping up a steamy Summer in the Hamptons. Meanwhile, Prison Break has its two-hour premiere, which finds Michael in LA investigating Sara's death — which, of course, may be a little more complex [9] than what we first thought. Also, Sona has burned to the ground, and some of our Break-ers are now unaccounted for.

Will you be watching either show tonight? In case you're just getting caught up, you can watch a quick summary of the first season of Gossip Girl and another of the first three years of Prison Break if you .
