It's a shame that Hugh Laurie hasn't won an Emmy for best dramatic actor yet. He's seriously really, really superb.

I hate House. Every episode is the same. Person contracts mysterious malady. House is an ass. Everyone comes up with dumb solutions. House ridicules them. House figures it out. The end.

I do like Hugh Laurie, though, but only because of The Black Adder.

It's not about the case of the week. Like lupus, it's never about the case of the week.

Fringe has done what Firefly (sadly) could not...

Fox picks up 'Fringe' for full season

Fox has picked up a full season order of J.J. Abrams' sci-fi thriller "Fringe."

October 01, 2008

The network ordered the back nine episodes of the Tuesday night drama, a move that should come as no surprise to those following its performance in the Nielsens.

After a solid two-hour premiere on Aug. 26, the show jumped significantly in week two when paired with Fox's top-rated drama "House." Both shows took a hit when competition increased during broadcast premiere week, then grew slightly last night -- demonstrating stability.

Season-to-date, "Fringe" has averaged a 4.2 rating/11 share among adults 18-49 and 10.7 million total viewers. It ranks as the top freshman series in the adult demo.

"We're thrilled to get the full-season order," Abrams says. "As with many new series, 'Fringe' is just starting to find its groove. Knowing we'll be around beyond the first thirteen episodes means we'll get to realize the full potential of the show, and for that we are extremely grateful."

"Fringe" joins "90210" as the only fall freshman broadcast series to receive a full order.

Another likely contender for a full order is CBS' drama "The Mentalist," whose second episode grew in the nationals this afternoon to exceed its premiere. One more week at the current level should be enough to seal the deal.

You don't watch it for the medicine. All that is is essentially effects and drama.

I'm pretty sure he won 3 years in a row.

Whoops, I was thinking Golden Globes and still off. 2 wins 1 nomination.

Yep, this show isn't all that yet but could be some entertaining TV soon.

The "Observer" could have some wildly comedic moments and interactions.

We will get past this does the son stay or go now.

As the show becomes a hit they will spend more money of special effects.

It sure was nice of the gubment to give Pacey a clearance card for 2006-2007.

Touches UP.

Not as good as the last episode, but pretty entertaining. This is VERY X-Files-ish.

**Guru** · 10-15-2008, 04:51 AM

I've given up on it.
