www.zap2it.com say's it opened to modest ratings (around 9 million) but won the 18-49 demo. Plus it'll be following HOUSE so that'll help.

And that IS the critical demographic !

The downside is that some shows have done similar numbers on other networks , and been cancelled ,
but the upside is that this is a particularly vibrant show , with a plethora of pluses...

It will gain ground 'til it becomes a wide-reaching 'cult' hit , somewhat like the 'Lost' or 'Heroes' phenomena...

But , FRINGE is a show that's better than either of the others , plus , it has Dr. House as the lead-in !

Tomorrow's House episode is conspicuous by its inclusion of Felicia Day , from 'Dr. Horrible' !

I got to watch FRINGE a second time , due to the encore , and it gets BETTER with repeat viewings !
There's a LOT of detail crammed into that show , so much that really could slip by without close attention...

I noticed that inside the offices of the "BLUESUN-like" 'Massive Dynamic' , there were a lot of projected words and slogans trucking along the walls...

Some were kind of 'morbid and creepifying' , but 'serenity' was included among them , perhaps not coincidentally...

I get the notion that the old 'F-net' might be on a build-up all the way until the Dollhouse premiere...

Yee-Haw ! Relight the Firefly !

Missed the first broadcast. I'm so glad they repeated it.
First episode is really intriguing. This is one we'll add to the regular rotation.

I really enjoyed the pilot and will pay attention to it as the season goes on. It's good that Fox puts entire episodes online if you miss it. I actually don't watch much TV outside of sports. The only other show I regularly follow right now is Terminator (because I love the franchise, and because I love Summer!)

" LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -
J.J. Abrams' mind-control experiment seems to be working. The second episode of Fox's supernatural science fiction thriller "Fringe" jumped a stunning 45% in the ratings Tuesday night.

"Fringe" pulled in 13.2 million viewers, up from 9.1 million for last week's premiere, retaining most of its lead-in from the Season 5 premiere of "House."

Unfortunately for Fox, the 14.7 million viewers for the medical drama was down sharply from the 18.3 million who tuned in to the Season 4 premiere. Last year, the show aired during the official broadcast premiere week, so it had a more effective launch period.

If "Fringe" and "House" are able to roughly maintain this week's level of popularity, a softer "House" number will be irrelevant. Fox's goal is to have two winning hours on Tuesdays this fall instead of one. If the two syringe-and-microscope dramas can hold steady against the gauntlet of increased competition during the next few weeks, Fox will gain a formidable Tuesday-night beachhead. "

I hope that Dollhouse does well as a lead in to 24. FOX may be getting there sh*t together.

If your not in the States you can't watch any of the shows on any of the network sites. Anyone have an alternative site for those outside the country?
