"Fringe producers on the parallel world storyline and the move to Friday" (EW)
*
After tonights episode, Fringe will vanish from the space-time continuum for a few weeks, as most TV shows do during the holidays. When it presents itself again in our reality, it will do so on Jan. 21 (one week earlier than originally announced) in a new timeslot: Fridays at 9 p.m. What to expect when Fringe returns in January? To start, youll get an episode devoted to The Observers. (Back To The Futures Christopher Lloyd will also appear in the episode as old buddy of Walter Bishop.) The producers also confirm that the mystery of The First People will get a lot of attention during the second half of the season. The move to Friday has caused many fans to worry that Fox has given up on the series, given the recent history of sci-fi programming on the night. Joss Whedons space western Firefly failed to find the requisite audience, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles failed to thrive when Friday became its new home during its second, last season. (Fun Fact! The Jan. 21 episode is entitled
Firefly. Yes, its sly nod, but the irony is that the episode was written before the producers knew about the timeslot change.) The great, glorious Friday night exception, The X-Files, was a long time ago. Fringe, however, is different from Firefly, in that it is an established brand with a dedicated, mobilized fanbase. And unlike Terminator, Fringe is more of a critics/media darling and will be making the move while on a creative roll. Hopefully, those factors will make a difference. Hopefully. The producers insist theyre not sweating the situation.
It doesnt feel loaded to us, says Pinkner. Its not like Fox is saying to us: Were falling out of love with the show. Were burning it off by moving it to Friday. Pinkner says that Fox execs explained the move as part of a strategic rethink of its schedule precipitated by the midseason arrival of American Idol, which now airs on Wednesday and Thursdays. In principle, the producers had no problem with being moved (For a year and half now, weve been asking and our fans have been asking to take us off Thursday because the landscape is crowded, Pinkner says), and the producers are confident that Fringe loyalists will move with them. The research shows that people love the show, but they dont really want to watch it on Thursday night. Thursday is more of a romantic comedy kind of night, not a hard science fiction night, says Wyman. We hope our fans follow us to Friday night. Its a much easier marketplace, and Fox is going to really support it; they think theres a real opportunity to reinvent the night. Adds Pinkner: If this felt like a vote of no confidence from Fox, Id be concerned. But theyve verbalized the opposite. They think we have a better chance at staying on the air for years to come, which, of course, is what we want, because by design, we have years of story left to tell.
Look for more weekly Fringe scoop when the show returns next month and be sure to come back tomorrow for Ken Tuckers recap of Marionette. In the meantime, wed love to hear your thoughts on these burning questions for Fringe fans, especially those who watch the show in real time on Thursday night: Will you be watching on Friday? And does the move to Friday worry you enough to stop watching the show altogether because of fear of cancellation?
