For anyone who hasn't watched Fox's awesome sci-fi show, Fringe, this last half of season three might be your last chance to see it during its original run - Fox recently announced that they were moving the show to Friday nights, a time slot that has pretty much guaranteed a quick death for everything put there in the past. The ratings were already pretty grim in its normal Thursday slot, so in all likelihood this is it for Fringe. However, that doesn't mean that Fox wants the show to die; Entertainment President Kevin Reilly recently gave fans a (probably false) glimmer of hope to latch onto, saying, "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." Recently, the Fox marketing team gave a little visual support to this sentiment, making what is probably one of the best promo spots that I've ever seen. You might have to be an actual fan of the show to appreciate the humor and all the callbacks in it (which sort of defeats the purpose of it), but it's a real treat for those who do watch Fringe. The ad, which can be viewed below, is supposedly only for online use, but Fox has said that something of a similar nature will be airing on TV soon. So, here's hoping Fringe can beat the odds and continue to make fantastic, freaky, and forcible TV!
