The Fight For FRINGE Continues: Joshua Jackson Rallies Fans, Ratings Rise


After two weeks of sliding down the slippery slope of battling for Friday night ratings, Fox’s Fringe bobs back up this past week to garner 4.1 million total viewers. A few days ago, star Joshua Jackson asked fans to rally behind the show and tune in on Friday nights.

“I’m a positive person in general, but we really need our Fringe fans to tune in and watch us on Fridays. We did good when we first moved, but [the last week before last] we did not have a good week, ratings wise. It is going to take the people that like the show to watch the show and start the campaign and show their support if they want to see us stick around for another season.”

The week Jackson was talking about is the February 11th episode “over there” marked a series low for the show with 3.7 million total viewers.

Yet to come for this season will be the climax of the universe-destroying machine, Peter’s baby-momma, and Walter versus Walternate! Jackson lets us in on what’s in store for viewers for the rest of this season:

“Apparently I’m gonna be a dad. And it is like the most extreme long-distance relationship, which I am pretty good at as it turns out in real life. My baby mama is in another universe. I think he has to find out, but I don’t know exactly how we’re gonna work that out yet. I have not see the finale script yet or anything. The whole other universe thing and the machine and the war of the two worlds is obviously the end of this season. But you would think they can’t just let the baby thing fall away.”

So, come on, Fringe fans! Prove to Fox that Fridays ARE reanimation Fridays!
