Nice work, Fringeophiles!!!



The ratings for this Friday's episode of Fringe have improved! Averaging 4.1 million viewers, up 7% from the previous week. Any increase is a positive sign, as those on the show, including Joshuah Jackson, have been very vocal that we all need to be watching right now if we want the show back for a forth season. Since Fox moved the series to Friday's (aka The Death Slot), it's done well in the ratings, but it's an uphill battle to survive as Friday is a showkiller.
We live in an era where the overwhelming number of us DVR series television or wait for boxsets to have a Netflix binge. But unfortunately, shows still live and die by their overnight numbers and the power of the live audience. Fringe is simply way, way too good right now not to keep this saga going. It's just sensationally well told -- Friday's episode was a gem -- and each week is only seeing us become more and more invested in these characters.
Let's all keep watching!
