‘Fringe’ gets a third season
Fox’s trippy, sci-fi tale ‘Fringe’ has been renewed for a third season. Not exactly a ratings blockbuster, the show has been on the bubble for months and honestly could have gone either way. But its decent showing after a move to Thursday nights and the network’s love of the show seem to have granted it a stay of execution (and thank goodness — I’d hate to imagine the sorts of objects with which participants in a “save our show” campaign for ‘Fringe’ would be flooding the Fox offices).
The plot line of the show, created by “Lost’s” J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and University of Texas alumnus Roberto Orci, finally caught fire this season after a fairly mind-blowing and risky revelation that the entire first season was basically a set-up. A cliffhanger of sorts in the last regular episode to air has set up an interesting dynamic between Dr. Walter Bishop and his son, Peter, which will play out when the series returns for the remainder of its second season episodes on (no fooling!) April 1.

Glad to hear it! Fringe is one of the few shows on my DVR schedule. Yeah it's sorta like x-files but what's wrong with that? :P
