Abrams Hopes for Fringe Season 5
Fringe Executive Producer J.J. Abrams tells TV Line that, "We remain hopeful that Fringe will be able to continue." This seems to indicate that Fox is at least willing to listen to the idea. Do not get your hopes up as Fox president Kevin Reilly (and one to make the decision) said that Fringe was losing the network money as it seems to find new rating lows each week. I think they only way Fox would renew the show is if the entire production costs are covered by Warner Bros. WB is the studio that makes the show might be willing to do that to hit that 100 episode milestone that will increase syndication possibilities worldwide. It seems show runner Jeff Pinkner is prepared for cancellation or renewal saying "Worst case scenario, if this were the last aired season of Fringe… we know what the end of this season is going to be and it can function as a series finale." The economics of TV today makes me think that syndication dollars are not enough to prevent cancellation.

Please don't let FOX cancel Fringe. I love the show and the time slot is really what is effecting the ratings!
ReplyDeleteFringe would have to be the most entertaining show on TV for quite some time. A refreshing change from the excess of over indulgent reality shows we have been forced to endure in recent years. It would be very disappointing to see it cancelled so soon. As mentioned, returning it to a more accessible timeslot is definitely needed.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with the other 2 comments! Fringe has been a fantastic show and I would hate to see it canceled so prematurely. Keep it running FOX!!
ReplyDeletePlease don't cancel Fringe!!! It is unique and creative. There has to be more on TV than reality garbage! It is all staged anyway! Real people are Busy!!! We are out there working hard, raising families taking care of homes and our responsibilities. We don't always have time to watch our favorite shows during the network timeframes scheduled, so we 'record them'. This doesn't mean we don't want or love the shows, it just means that technology has afforded us the opportunity to fit our favorite programs into OUR schedule instead of being tied to the network schedule. Please keep Fringe on the air!!! It is a wonderful program!
