Well looky here — FOX seems to have some honest to goodness faith in a sci-fi show for once, because the network has renewed the J.J. Abrams-produced “Fringe” for a third season, despite the show suffering some ratings decline after its recent move to a new timeslot. Usually genre shows, especially sci-fi, don’t fare very well on FOX, but to get a second season, much less a third one? That’s practically unheard of over at FOX post-”X-Files”.
“Fringe”, for the uninitiated, stars Anna Torv as a female FBI agent who is forced to work with an institutionalized scientist (John Noble) and his son, played by former “Dawson’s Creek” paddler Joshua Jackson, in order to rationalize a brewing storm of unexplained phenomena. Basically, weird and kooky stuff happens, kinda like “The X-Files”, but without the fantastic creative use of character last names.
Fringe. Third season. Sorry, Firefly fans.
