Fringe Episode 115: What You Missed Because of American Idol
If you Tivo'd Fringe tonight, you might have found that the last five minutes or more were cut off due the American Idol running long. If that happened to you, don't worry - FringeTelevision has got your back! Here are the final scenes from Fringe episode "Inner Child".
UPDATE: In a strange move, FOX has pulled some of my videos from YouTube... Here is the same thing from Hulu, just in case.
Did you miss the last part of Fringe because of American Idol?
Thank you so much. After much hype of this new episode. I was so happy to have fringe back on. It was a horrible thing to do to us fans. You rock now I can go to sleep!
Thanks so much for this. Why can't Fox put something like this up on their own web site? I would have had to wait a long time before being able to see the whole episode on their web site. They just don't get it. At least the other networks only make you wait a few hours to see them on theirs.
thank u soooooo much i was so angry and i can't belive he is one of those peopleeeeeeee god i love this show, tie between xfiles n csi it ROCKSSSSS!!!!
Thanks a lot, my worse fears were realized after seeing the American Idol for the masses inFRINGE upon the show. I have never watched an episode of AI.
Thank you, so much. What a burn!! We were frantically trying to find it on the Fox "Fringes" site, which doesn't seem to have even been clued in that there is now a Season Two. Jeesh!
And no, this household doesn't watch "Idol" either.
Anyway, thank you again, and again!! What a terrific rescue!
I saw this the local news came on later.(East coast only?) Good thing you ran this the last scene between the little guy and the observer was important.
It's because American Idol is LIVE, and they can't predict that the show will go over. The same thing happens to shows that follow football games. There's not really anything that can be done, other than pad your recording by 10-30 mins.
I was so pleased with myself when I realized I could see the last few minutes of American Idol by playing back the first few minutes of Fringe. (I wouldn't have even been aggravated if it had been anybody but Lambert that I missed.) Then it hit me -- I was probably going to miss the last few minutes of Fringe. Sure enough, I just played it back and no ending. Yeah, Olivia probably killed the artist but what about the little boy?? Many thanks ... you just saved me from spending the rest of my day off in a snit!
Thank you very much!!! I'd heard about the American Idol run-over, but I never thought about it impacting one of my favorite shows until I started watching it on my DVR tonight. It would have driven me nuts not to know what happened, and as quickly as possible! Thanks again.
Thank you so much for posting this. It is certainly aggravating to look forward to watching a show only to find that it was unexpectedly delayed & you will miss a signaficant portion.
If Idol HAS to run live and runs 7 mins over, maybe we can suggest to the networks that they should cut 7 minutes of commercials from the following show?
(I noticed that they got all the commercials in...)
thank you - FOX should thank you big time - cant believe they treat thier viewers like this - watch a series - get hooked - just like they want you to then cut 5 mins off the end all becuase of one of the worst "shows" on TV "idol"
They are... you just add 10 or 15 minutes of padding to the end of the show when you set it up to record. You really should do this for any live show, or anything that follows a live event.
I was hoping someone would have this online. I set a VHS tape (yeah, I still use those) and of course I was UPSET when the tape stopped at 9pm and the show wasn't over.
Thank you for the ending I was going crazy trying to find it. Again THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You are a God among man.

ReplyDelete!SPOILER!
ReplyDeleteWow, Baby Observer. I'm glad American Idiot didn't cut me off. I would have thrown my remote through the TV. Thanks for putting it up anyway.
Thanks, I would hate to miss the end of a good show because of a stupid "reality tv " show
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! I was really looking forward to this episode, not to mention the ending.
ReplyDeleteOur fearless leader deserves accolades galore!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. I was so looking forward to seeing it and to have the ending lost was very annoying.
ReplyDeletethanks for the link to the ending from the Fox Fringe "official" site. Really appreciated actually seeing the "FULL" show. Yay!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this. Why can't Fox put something like this up on their own web site? I would have
ReplyDeletehad to wait a long time before being
able to see the whole episode on their
web site. They just don't get it. At least the other networks only make you wait a few hours to see them on theirs.
Thanks for posting the link! I'm so glad I didn't have to wait until tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteI hope FOX will be receiving the results of your poll, perhaps they'll finally understand where viewers interests really lie.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ending!!
thank u soooooo much i was so angry and i can't belive he is one of those peopleeeeeeee god i love this show, tie between xfiles n csi it ROCKSSSSS!!!!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU..I almost lost it when my recording had American Idiot going long and missed the ending. You are a life saver!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much... keeping America better in spite of American Idol!
ReplyDeleteThanks

ReplyDeleteGlad to see you finally got it up! LOL It took a while, but the HQ version is worth it.
ReplyDeleteFox should find a way to warn people when they run shows over. Why was it over anyway?
ReplyDeleteIt's because American Idol is LIVE, and they can't predict that the show will go over. The same thing happens to shows that follow football games. There's not really anything that can be done, other than pad your recording by 10-30 mins.
ReplyDeletethanks for posting the end ~ I hate it when shows over lap and the end of the next program is lost.

ReplyDeleteI did find the episode on the Fox site. Too bad our DVRs are not advanced enough to adapt to overruns.

ReplyDeleteFWIW, *My* Tivo didn't cut off :)
