FOX: ''Doesn't expect Fringe to grow in audience''

[magictrick]

FOX is giving the show another chance when many expected them not to. Can't really blame the network this time around if season 4 isn't a ratings success.

I have faith that this season will keep people interested enough to keep the ratings where they need to be.

As long as it's sitting in the Friday Night Death Slot I can blame FOX alright.

As long as it can maintain its numbers from last season, we hopefully should be okay. The Fringe fans just really have to step up to support this show.

I want a prequel charting Walter's adventures in the 70s.

That would be interesting...

The problem is it's not maintaining it's ratings. It's ratings after season one have been on a continuous drop. I'm honestly surprised it got renewed for a fourth season, so either Fox are playing favourites or someone there likes the show. Moving it to Friday nights didn't help the season 3 ratings, it may have stopped them from balancing out, so I can see Fox moving keeping it on Fridays just because they want a reason to cancel it.

I see the ratings for Fringe's last season and Sarah Connor's and I'm surprised they kept Fringe and cancelled Sarah.

I know the ratings have been heading down since the first season but I thought they said something about the ratings are expected to be lower on Friday night and so they aren't under as much pressure.

We have to hope. Coz if this show ends before its time as well, there will be hell to pay ! I'm talking going all crazy Fringe scientists on the guys who makes the decisions collective butts ! I don't think they'd appreciate a blue powder spewing doll that can make their bones all squisy ! What an episode, that's why I love the show !

If this does turn out to be Fringe's final season, I think TPTB would give us a proper ending if given the time to do so.

I should hope so!

If the President of Fox himself said that, with his hand on a bible while volunteering to take a lie detector test, I'd still think he's full of crap. Fox will either stick it on a Friday to give them an excuse to cancel it, or they'll stick a decent rating show on a Friday and cancel it because it doesn't pull in better ratings (or just flat out loses ratings).

[the fifth man]

For now, I choose to remain optimistic. I plan on just trying to enjoy this season as much as possible.

I'm not saying I trust them either, It was just a thought as to why Fringe got a fourth season after being shifted to the friday night death slot.

I am just excited that we have another season to enjoy.
