Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Fringe is renewed in both Universes!

Spoiler: In yesterday's “Bloodline” episode, a very pregnant Olivia in the Alternate Universe is kidnapped and her unborn baby is in danger. Alter Walter will stop at nothing to preserve the new branch of the Bishop family tree.

Hmmm, seems like Fox is trying to atone for something...

Awesome! Maybe they broke the Friday-night death curse!

There have been a few "clunker" eps this season, but overall I've like it quite a bit. I'm glad they got another season!

Maybe it was time for a strategy change at FOX? For two decades FOX has been slaughtering all its Friday night shows and replacing them with new shows with no better ratings, which are slaughtered in their turn. Fringe's ratings now are as good as it's going to get for FOX. Why not just keep Fringe?

According to FOX Entertainment President Kevin Reilly, nearly half of Fringe's viewership time shifts the show to watch at their convenience, and that "if it does anywhere near what it did on Thursdays, we can glue that show to the schedule because it can be a big win for us." The FOX network created a promotion advertisement for Fringe that lampooned its reputation of the Friday night death slot prior to Fringe's move. http://tinyurl.com/29fmhxe

Yup, I'm a "time shifter". I rarely watch anything in real time anymore. But here's the thing - I *do* watch commercials, if they can grab my attention or amuse me. The silly DirecTV li'l giraffe commercials? I'll pretty much stop what I'm doing (including fast-forwarding) when I see those. The Kia hamster commercials? Same thing. A clever ad *WILL* get watched, whether I have to or not.

So while I'm not their desired customer for Fringe (since I'm a DVR watcher), they're still getting effective advertising, just as long as they come up with effective ads.

Yes "Syndication", this will be a huge money maker in reruns. People who haven't found it yet will find it in reruns at SyFy or some cable network. This is a great "cult" show and will be around for years.
