Blogging the TCA Blogs #10 - “Fringe”
The prolific writer-producer told TelevisionWeek on Monday that, yes, he has penned the theme song for “Fringe.”
The string-heavy introduction to “Fringe” came to Mr. Abrams while he was getting ready to go to bed one night.
TV Guide on helping confused fans:
“Fringe is in many ways an experiment for us,” says Abrams. “We’re trying very deliberately to do a show that doesn’t require the insane absolute dedication to a series that if you miss an episode, you have no idea of what is going on.”
Blogging the TCA Blogs #1
From MeeVee on the Fringe “cast”:
“Yes, the cow is now a regular,” executive producer Jeff Pinkner said drily, “but we now have a new cow because we weren’t able to travel our cow down from Canada (where the pilot was filmed). We had to recast the one from the pilot. We literally had a conversation about making up the cow, in case anyone notices the spots are different.”
From STL today on the Fringe pilot being leaked:
Viral marketing? “It’s hard to believe, but we didn’t put it out there,” says executive producer Bryan Burk, adding that they hate to have anything seen before it’s finished.
From LA Times Show Tracker on the images we’ve put out to promote the show:
The team will solve a mystery in each episode, even as they try to sort out the larger force behind the phenomena. Clues are sprinkled through the series in reoccurring images: a six-fingered hand, a leaf, smoke that reveals a secret pattern.
“It’s part of the code of the show,” (show co-creator and executive producer J.J.) Abrams said.
From The TV Addict on J.J.’s future involvement:
J.J. revealed that he’s trying to split his time between post-production on STAR TREK, while continuing to be involved with FRINGE. He co-wrote the pilot, and plans to stay as involved as he can with the writing and the story arcs and even plans on directing one of the episodes. Of course, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that J.J. also hoped to direct an episode of LOST for oh, the past two seasons.
From iFMagazine on the 24 prequel TV movie:
As for the story, (Fox Entertainment President Kevin) Reilly explains, “It tees off the season — it’s a separate day.”
“It’s the day of the election of the president and swearing in,” he adds. “It’s a self-contained two hours.”

We created this site to keep you apprised of series in development as well as changes to returning ones. In doing so, we like to check out what’s being said in the blogosphere about our shows.
As you’ve noticed, we will link to things. This doesn’t automatically mean that what we’re linking to is directly affiliated with Fox productions, or paid for by Fox, or owned and operated by Fox. We might be linking to it because it’s what you all are talking about. Users may jump to conclusions on boards and forums and in comment boxes that we’re behind EVERYTHING. (We get that it feels that way.) Sometimes these viral wild goose chases and secret websites are actually fan-creations and we aren’t involved at all.
But sometimes we might be.
Despite who the evil mastermind really is, hopefully you’re having fun and getting psyched for good television.
Anyhoo, on a technical sidenote: We’ve been working on the site’s comments problems. We’re waiting for American Idol revenue to kick in so that we can pay our interwebs bill to fix it. Kidding! We don’t make any money from Idol.
