Fox Executives on Fringe move. (Good news IMHO)

[Othello]

As long as people don't give up on the show it should be safe.

As for Fox’s other big newsmaking move – shifting Fringe to Fridays - Entertainment President Kevin Reilly said he hopes fans don’t think he’s putting the show out to pasture. ”We are not killing the show. Over the last week, over 45 percent of the audience time-shifted the show. That’s almost half of the dedicated audience watching it on their DVRs. It’s been such a loyal fanbase. I will be really disheartened if the viewer base decides to not watch because it shifted one night. I hope they go with it, and if not they have the option of picking it up on their DVRs. If it does anywhere near what it did on Thursdays, we can glue that show to the schedule because it can be a big win for us.”

He probably shouldn't know about Stargate Universe

That rather appears to have been a matter of the viewer base deciding that the show, you know, sucks.

Fringe will lose more audience to DVR because less people watch friday TV and any of its older viewers will watch CSI NY over Fringe.

Fringe will below 4 million and a 1.3 demo IMO

Fringe is past the point of casual viewers.

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

It's gone from a 99.9% chance of cancellation in its current time slot to a 90% chance of cancellation on Fridays. So, yes, that's a slight improvement in its odds for a fourth season, but nothing to bet the house on.

Which it won't! It has no lead in!

Fox is just trying to save face, it should have never been on Thursdays at 9, they knew that last season. Fox can say whatever PR bullshit they want, I'll be amazed if the show gets 4 million viewers on Fridays at 9.
