Topic: *Fringe* premieres tonight at 8:00 - J.J. Abrams's new show

Is anyone else excited to see this?  I think it sounds like the most interesting new show this year.  (Maybe because it sounds so much like "The X-Files," one of my all-time faves.)

Darn it, there are four, count 'em four, shows on tonight at 8 PM that I want to see!  But I just checked the repeat schedule for each and, thankfully, I should be able to catch them all.  So long as I watch one of them live, and don't drop dead before then of course.

I learned from the "Fringe" program details that tonight's premiere will last "95 minutes" - be forewarned.

I liked it, though the ending was weak. I'll check it out next week and decide if I'm interested to keep watching. I still dislike Mark Valley, though! Partially stems back to him being rude at an autograph signing I attended. And I think his acting sucks.
Anyway, I wasn't blown away but it was more than enough to keep my attention.

I saw a good portion of it and it does look interesting. I wasn't able to watch the whole show so I recorded it before I knew that it was going to be repeated. I haven't had the time to see the rest of the show. I like Mark Valley and was glad to see him in a new show again since he left Boston Legal. But it looks like his character is going to be very different in this.

I will tune into anything with Joshua Jackson in it!  What a cutie!

The premiere will be shown again on Sunday.  Which is good.  I began watching tonight and found it very interesting.  But, alas I fell asleep and woke up with about 10 minutes left.  I will have to watch again on Sunday.

Oh, the show Sunday is scheduled for 2 hours.  Tonight was only 90 minutes.  What gives?  More commercials?

  • Where are you looking? My TV Guide issue lists it at 90 mins (it can't show 5 min increments so I think that means 95 mins like the original broadcast). Well I sure hope I can watch it rather than record it, anyway ... I fell asleep last night before it started! -Spell
  • There were a few commercials where they said that they would be back in 60 seconds instead of the full commercial break, which is usually about three minutes. Maybe on Sunday they are running the full break adding to the time. ~ eom. Linda
