Arguably the best show on TV right now returns tonight after its mid-season break, the fabulous Fringe. Midway through its 3rd season, Fringe has gone from being a misperceived X-Files clone to cult hit to wildly inventive, literate science fiction of the first order. You watch this show because the writing and acting are just superb. It's becoming a science fiction version of The Wire.
Having lived its entire life on Thursday's, Fringe now finds itself moved to Fridays. While this has long been perceived as "the death slot" for a series, Fox supports Fringe and believes in it. These days, 90% of an audience is either catching it on DVR or online, or waiting for the DVD set. You can't accuse this show of a lack of imagination -- or heart. So Please tune in or DVR or astral-project or watch this show in whatever incarnation you choose as it winds its way through this fascinating season. It's a Tale of Two Cities...if you know what I mean.
