Fringe Fridays? Does have a nice ring to it...I guess.

So it seems FOX is moving Fringe to Friday nights in January, to the dreaded "death slot" time slot. FOX is notorious for sending shows to die on Friday nights and I won't lie, it really worries me, HOWEVER, it could actually be a good thing for it too. Fringe gets compared to the X-Files a lot so I'm going to make another comparison here - XF thrived in it's Friday night time slot, one of the few shows on FOX that did and I think Fringe could do the same. Fringe fans are a loyal bunch and will follow it wherever it goes so I really don't expect to see a drop in ratings, I'm hoping it being on a less competitive night will even boost it a bit. And that could be good for FOX since moving it could give a boost overall in it's low Friday night ratings. It'd be ironic if Fringe became the show that carried FOX's Friday nights.

I've often wondered if Fringe is a bit too unique, like XF did, it takes viewers to a new level and right now we are a nation of reality tv and procedural drama junkies. Nielsen gets it wrong sometimes and I think it's missed the mark with Fringe. It being on FOX and labeled as "sci-fi" doesn't help much either. Yeah, it's my favorite show on TV right now and all but it really is an intelligent and engaging show. Give it a chance people, you'll be glad you did!

A couple good articles for your perusing: How To Save Fringe @ TV Overmind & Olivia Dunham becomes a superhero @ io9.

I'm planning on re-watching last nights episode (WHICH TOTALLY ROCKED) sometime this weekend and write a review of it then. So much goodness, I can hardly stand it. Like I can hardly stand the two week wait we're in for now until the next quintessential episode of all episodes. Eeep!
