Sci-Fi + FOX = Inevitable


Though not officially cancelled...yet, fans of the FOX series Dollhouse can pretty much expect not to see a third season.

After Dollhouse airs on Oct. 23, 2009 it will not air again until December, with back to back episodes. Although it must be noted that FOX has pulled the rest of the Friday night lineup, "Til Death" and "Brothers" for the month of November as well.

Many argue that Dollhouse should be put on another night, as should the network's other hit Sci-Fi series Fringe. There just seems to be a little problem, these shows would be unable to compete with what is currently running on CBS or NBC.

One reason Fringe was moved from Tuesday to Thursday was because it was unable to compete with NCIS. The move to Thursday was the best option due to the fact that CSI has lost many viewers with the departure of William Peterson (Gil Grissom) and Friday nights would have been a red flag to fans that they could soon kiss the show goodbye, so why bother watching.

So here's an interesting challange to all, can someone tell us what was the name of the last Sci-Fi series to go more than two seasons on FOX? - GJ

Fringe - Reviewed

By now just about everyone has seen or heard something about the new FOX hit Fringe. Oh yea, we're calling it a hit here at the post.


A lot of people like to compare this show to the X-Files, and while that is a decent comparison, we ask that you keep an open mind and remember this is in no way an exact copy of the X-Files.

Yes there is the whole FBI, unexplained phenomenas similarities, but Fringe appears to be going a little bit more hard core science fiction. Fringe isn't just a show about alien abductions, and other creatures of the night, but offers concepts like reanimation, invisibility, and teleportation.

The biggest complaint circling the Internet about Fringe is that it's not scary enough. If you haven't actually seen the show then again keep in mind that this complaint is from those wanting this to be an exact copy of the X-Files.

As far as cast and characters, there weren't too many complaints. Some people were a little concerned about Joshua Jackson, which was a surprise to us, but most felt as the show progressed that this was a casting decision that could be lived with.

So for a final score we here at IMPERIAL POST give Fringe a 5 out of 5. Fringe airs on FOX on Tuesday Night at 9pm.
