Change is coming... to Fringe Television

Over the next few days, I'll be making some minor changes to FringeTelevision.com - mainly updating the look, and moving some stuff around.

This is your opportunity to let me know what you like about the site, what you don't, and what you think might be missing that should be added, or any other ideas you have. For example, do you like the content separated into different sections - news / episodes / Easter eggs... or would you prefer everything on the front page? (The Fringe Spoilers section will always remain separate.)

I'm also looking for a few good men (or women), preferably with blog experience, who want to help contribute to the site, especially the news and Easter eggs sections.

Fringe: The Whole Series In Five Minutes

FOX has created a 5-minute recap video of the first ten episodes of FRINGE. If you are new to Fringe, or need a quick refresher course, this excellent video will get you up to speed with all the player and major plot points.

For some reason, FOX don't let people embed their videos, so jump over to Fox On Demand to get ready for the premier of Bound on Jan. 20th.

BTW, If you've missed any episodes, you can watch them for free online, in our Fringe Episodes section.

Joshua Jackson Interviews: Craig Ferguson & BuzzSugar

Joshua Jackson was on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson Tuesday night, talking about Fringe, living in Paris, and "stroking the slug". Craig showed a sneak peek from the upcoming Fringe episode Bound, which I have removed and placed in the Fringe Spoilers section.

Buzz Sugar also interviewed with Josh at FOX's TCA after-party. They discussed:

• Coming back for a new batch of episodes
• Learning Peter's secrets
• Peter and Walter's relationship
• Working with JJ Abrams
• Giving Peter a reason to stick around:

...He may not like to admit it, but he's human and he wants to take care of his dad. At the core of it all there's a very simple emotional story going on: Peter is an abandoned child who has a chance all these years later to build some sort of relationship with his father. If you took away all of the science fiction, that's a workable story in and of itself."

You can read the full interview at BuzzSugar.com.

American Idol Tonight

Tonight is the premiere of the eighth season (!) of American Idol, which means no new Fringe. However the wait is almost over, because Fringe will be back next week with an all new episode - Bound.

But don't turn off the TV quite yet... because it's possible we could see an appearance from our good friend The Observer. No, not hiding on the sidelines like on Sunday's NFL game, but actually singing. Don't believe it? Check out this video featuring the bald one himself, Michael Cerveris, singing in Sweeny Todd (@ 2:30):

Fringe Will Return For Season 2 This Fall?

The Hollywood Reporter, covering the 2009 TCA Winter Press Tour, is reporting that FOX entertainment president Kevin Reilly "heavily hinted" that Fringe will return in the fall for a second season!

It's a keeper ... They've really found the storytelling model now ... what you're going to see in the second half in the year, if you follow the serialized story you're going to find [satisfying content each week and yet] the stories really do re-set themselves each week I would not expect it to take off after 'Idol' but I do think it will tick up another level.

Perhaps he meant the second-half of the First season? Either way, it sounds like he is a big Fringe fan, and the show will be sticking around for a while.

Reilly was also asked about the Remote-Free TV experiment used on Fringe:

Will the RemoteFreeTV experiment continue? If Fox has its way, yes, but the model that uses half as many commercials for shows like "Fringe" and "Dollhouse" remain a tough sell for advertisers. When asked if RemoteFree was a success, Reilly says, "For the most part, yes. Viewer feedback was great ... advertisers were very happy ... studies showed retention was high ... but not every advertiser wants to pay that premium." Plus, there's an additional production factor of doing shows that are slightly longer than usual.

Joshua Jackson on Cosmopolitan Cover

Joshua Jackson is on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine, and in a feature titled "Fun Fearless Males 2009". It's mostly "ship" talk, but he does mention Fringe:

Q: Any close calls on the Fringe set?
A: During a torture scene, I had a wire up my nose, and it pierced my sinus. I was gushing blood. That’s when you realize what you do for a living is totally absurd.

Q: Do you and your character have anything in common?
A: Neither of us are joiners. I'm not religious, mostly because I think the organization of it perverts the idea of spirituality.
