"Fringe Is About To Be Cancelled.":

April 14th 2009 02:50
"Fringe Is About To Be Cancelled.":

"Fringe" is a television program that follows the lead of many different shows that have titles with as few words as possible with as few syllibles as possible, and with as few letters as possible. It primered on FOX in 2008 and easily appears to be a competition to CBS's "Eleventh Hour" television program.

At first the Fringe series goes through several recurring story lines that little in its viewing audience is actually interested to begin with. One example is Dr. Walter Bishop performing dangerous laboratory experiences resulting in death of a young girl and as a result Dr. Bishop is institutionalized. They try to keep him out of hospitals in the first few episodes. There is a corporation called Massive Dynamics. Also Olivia Dunham's superviser does not get along with the team at first. There is a lot of graphic violence in the first few episodes.


On its return in 2009, a lot of this has went away.

Also in the beginning of each year, FOX has several popular shows return for the first few months only. One of them is "24", and the other is "American Idol".

24 does not pose a threat to "Fringe". However American Idol sometimes is on several nights in one week, and some of them ""accidentally"" run long. People recording Fringe on a timer to watch later wouldn't have been able to see the last ten minutes of an episode of Fringe. Some smaller FOX affiliates did not air the last ten minutes of Fringe.

As far as I know, Fringe is not officially cancelled. But it very will could be cancelled soon after one full season. Remember that this is FOX and they are trying to increase ratings while keeping their broadcast hours down. And as a result they cancel shows easily. Only a small number of them return to be broadcast again with new episodes on FOX. FOX also does not air programs that it produces if they have been cancelled by another network. This has happened with Boston Legal and Shark.


And there are also many negative reviews on The Internet Movie Database on the Fringe page and these reviews have various reasons of why they have given Fringe a negative rating. One common reason is because some people think that Fringe is unoriginal.

Even if Fringe is not officially cancelled yet, it has not been renewed for a second season either. And with all these reasons mentioned, it is very possible that Fringe will be cancelled.

You are clearly an idiot. There's no way FOX would cancel a series one episode into their second season that gets the highest ratings outside of AA on TV. And... please use proper grammar and spelling if you're going to post TV reviews online... I think you meant "very well" not "very will". "very little in it's viewing audience is interested in"... I think you meant "very few in the audience ARE interested in seeing."... and uhhh.. NO... those story lines set up all the background for why Bishop is a scary character, and they make him a comic character at the same time. This show is incredibly cool.

I am not an idiot, nor do I write things and not explain my opinions.

"one episode into their second season"
- Your grammar stinks. It is supposed to be "one episode into its second season" because the word "its" is describing "series", which is singular because it is talking about "Fringe", which is one series, (unless you are in locations such as the U.K., where they use the word "series" to describe "season". I do not, however).
- I do not recognize the fall and the spring as two different seasons when relating to television. I know that Fringe has returned last week, but that doesn't make it Season 2. According to Wikipedia, "On October 1, 2008, Fringe received a full 22 episode season pickup by Fox TV network." These 22 episodes have not aired. This is not Season Two of Fringe; We are still viewing Season One.

please use proper grammar and spelling if you're going to post TV reviews online...
I think you meant "very well" not "very will". "very little in it's viewing audience is interested in"... I think you meant "very few in the audience ARE interested in seeing."


Sorry about the spelling. Thank you. I normally have this talking Mac software proofread for me, but I am just getting started with these blogs and I did not think to have it proofread. I try to proofread it myself, but the text is very small while I am typing. I know that I set the font to 3 for the body of my text, but I just did not think of proofreading since I was in the middle of creating different blogs for this site and then I realized that I should move the blogs to the correct category, which is what I was planning on doing tonight. And it is good that Anonymous did not suggest Spell Check. I just noticed the Spell Check feature on this text editor. However, since I did not mispell any words, as both "will" and "well" are correctly spelled words, Spell Check would not have noticed it.
However, I did know what I was typing when I put "very little in its viewing audience", because I was talking about a very small amount of its (Fringe's) viewing audience. Technically I was describing Fringe's viewing audience, and not the viewers.

And as for the rest of the comment:
I agree about Fringe being incredibly cool. I did not post a review about Fringe (yet). I will get to that this week. The subject about the "Fringe Is About To Be Cancelled" posting was addressing many negative reviews on The Internet Movie Database. If you don't believe me, go look up Fringe yourself, and read all the pages of reviews. Many of them are negative, with very few yellow stars, and there are amounts of people responding to the reviews. An estimate of about half of the people said that they agreed with the negative reviews that were posted. I was paraphrasing what was said in the negative reviews.

And as far as I know, FOX has not picked up shows that it has produced before that had been cancelled for other networks. I do not see Boston Legal and Shark on FOX, nor do I see it in first run syndication produced by FOX. FOX, in my opinion, cancels shows quickly. Once they read all the reviews on The Internet Movie Database, they just might cancel Fringe since it isn't liked by most (...of the people that have written reviews on IMDb).

I must admit I am surprised by the negative reviews on IMDb. My review on Fringe will be posted soon.

I actually don't mind Fringe - it is one of the few tv shows I do watch.

It seems unlikely that a show that has enough viewers to satisfy most network execs would be cancelled. The show came back with decent ratings last week.

On the other hand, when FOX has the gall to allow trash like American Idol to creep into Fringe's time slot for ten minutes, viewers who are smart enough NOT to watch Idol are wondering where their show is. It makes you wonder how much FOX even cares about Fringe.

Fringe is one of the best shows, that I have seen in awhile. Fox would be crazy to canel it. Most tv shows need at least 3 seasons to get going and really draw people in. There is always good and bad, but that doesn't mean this show shouldn't get a chance. If they can bring back Family Guy, just because DVD sales made them money, then give Fringe a chance and let get to the really good stuff. In a society where here today and gone tomorrow seems to be the standard, I have gotten disgusted with it. If you don't like it don't watch, listen, or concern yourself withit and let others enjoy it, who wanna see it. I don't think it will get cancelled and if it does I will fight to try and keep it on. Fringe is a far better than most of the junk any network including has put out in a long time. Just my opinion and keep us informed. They are calling this the second season too.

They cancel Fringe, and they've canceled one of, if not THE best new show of recent years.
I know this is old, but, really, they'd be making such a huge mistake.

Hey retard. Fringe is now on season three. You fail, your article fails. I'm surprised that this article is near the top on my google search, but rest assured, if this piece of writing was to be graded in an actual writing class, you would surely fail.
