Variety is reporting that Fox has ordered a full season of Fringe.
“Fringe” has gone mainstream, scoring a full-season order from Fox on Wednesday.Fox’s back nine pick up comes as “Fringe” has so far ranked No. 1 among all new shows in the adults 18-49 demo (with several more entries yet to bow).
“Fringe” bowed to lukewarm ratings, but made a stunning bounce in week two. After four segs, the show has averaged a 4.2 rating and 11 share, and 10.7 million viewers overall.
Read the rest here.
Note that in our first Renew or Cancel Index Fringe came in as the new series most likely to be renewed.
Never in doubt.
Your index worked…of course, according to your index Worst Week is the new show on CBS most likely to be renewed, so I don’t think the index will have a perfect record
Holly, two good calls already (Do Not Disturb cancellation, Fringe pickup) and it gets more accurate every week!
Hey Bill, This is off the subject..but do you have any ratings info on Dexter or Californication? I know usually SHowtime only releases data if it were good numbers….does this mean the ratings were not very good?
Shawn, they were recently added to the Top 20 Cable shows post (click link at top)
well I can’t say I’m surprised, but I am glad. Fringe is an interesting show.
The index doesn’t lie! Not surprising, given the demos, but I’m pleased it’s official.
Only comment is that full order means c-ya! to Terminator…
^What does “Fringe” getting a full season having ANYTHING to do with what happens to “Terminator”?
HELL YEA! Bring on some more FRINGE! =)
Great news, I’ve enjoyed the first four episodes so far. The chemistry is setting in and the writers are fleshing things out. The last episode was the best I think and the next one looks even better. At least there seems to be no formula for how an episode plays out. There seemed to be one for Episodes 2 and 3 but 4 was completely different. That’s huge for me.
I knew it would be renewed!!!!!
I FIND “FRINGE” TO BE MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN “LOST” AND HOPE IT LASTS AS LONG (IF NOT LONGER) THAN LOST HAS LASTED. AND I EVEN LIKE “LOST”, SO THAT PUTS “FRINGE” WAY UP THERE!!
