Fringe Gets Boost From DVR Viewers

Nielsen has released it's first "Live Plus 7" polling results for the new Fall season. "Live Plus 7" includes live viewer numbers plus DVR viewers up to 7 days after. Zap2it reports that Fringe received the biggest ratings bump over all other shows from DVR viewing up to 7 days after the show.

You really need to check out this show, if for nothing else than the amazing performance of John Noble as Dr. Walter Bishop. Dr. Walter Bishop is the "mad scientist" if you will. He keeps the show grounded and brings both humor and humanity to it. I particularly like his relationship with Agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Tory). She cuts through the "crazy" of Walter and sees his brilliance, even more so than his own son.

Fringe Gets Full Season Pickup!

Fox has announced they have ordered a full season of "Fringe", the new science fiction series from J.J. Adams. "Fringe" has been the top rated new show to debut this season in the adults 18-49 age group, a key demographic.

“We're having a blast working on this show with this great team of producers,” said Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly in a press release announcing the move. “The series has really taken off creatively, and it's exciting to see that the audience is responding. We believe this is the first full season of many years to come.”

I LOVE this show! It's part "24", part "X-Files" and part "Back to the Future", if you can imagine that. The plot is crafted around FBI Agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv), Dr. Walter Bishop (John Noble), his son Peter (Joshua Jackson), and Homeland Security. Agent Dunham is recruited by Homeland Security to help investigate "unexplained" events believed to be associated with a 60's secret research project of the Army into Fringe science. The project was lead by Dr. Walter Bishop. The trouble is Dr. Walter Bishop has been institutionalized for the past 17 years.
