Trivia:
An episode of 'Fringe' runs from about 49 to 51 minutes in length. This is in contrast to the typical 42-43 minute length of a one hour drama. This is part of Fox's plan to see if viewers are more likely to tune in if there are less commercials. moreFAQ

Fringe is everything that is wrong about today's network television all rolled into one.
First, it comes from an over-hyped but under-achieving team of producers. After all, except for one season of Lost, J.J. Abrams has a consistently losing track record making boring TV shows, and his cohorts on this endeavor come from Alias, another hyped-up show that languished with mediocre ratings for years.
Then there's the now seemingly obligatory blonde woman who can't act (to the point where it's difficult to call her an actress, even if she carries the union card). Anna Torv is the flavor of the week on this show and if she ever took acting classes, you wouldn't be able to tell by the fixed rigidity and exaggerated expressions her face constantly displays.
Finally, there's the incoherent stories. Apparently, it's becomes hip and edgy to have stories that make no sense. Plot holes are sold to the public as "surprises"....
Is it all that surprising then if the public stays away from shows like Fringe?
