A little good news for Fringe fans: ratings for '6B' were UP last week! According to Entertainment Weekly:

Fringe averaged 4.1 million viewers and a 1.5 preliminary adults 18-49 rating, up one tenth — or 7% — from last week. That’s still a ways off from the hearty 1.9 rating the show posted its first two weeks in its new Friday time slot, but any increase is a positive sign. (Perhaps fans heard Joshua Jackson’s message that they better start watching on Fridays if they want the show to return).

Fox actually tied usual Friday leader CBS to win the night, helped by Fringe lead-in Kitchen Nightmares (3.9 million, 1.7) rising 13%. That’s helpful for Fringe too, the “who won the night” boast is valued by all networks.

While most Thursday shows hit season lows the night before, several Friday programs posted gains along with Fringe.

Hopefully this means the message is hitting home - please watch Fringe live on Fridays if you can, or at least DVR it and watch as soon as possible. Joshua Jackson says:

We really need our Fringe fans to tune in and watch us on Fridays ... It is going to take the people that like the show to watch the show and .. show their support if they want to see us stick around for another season.”

UPDATE: The Live + 7 DVR ratings are in for "Concentrate and Ask Again", and Fringe topped all shows for "Post Airdate 18-49 Rating % Increase from DVR Viewing", bumping Fringe's 1.6 to a 2.5 — a 56% increase! Now if we could just get all those people to watch live...
