    "Here's an idea of how Fox can be more supportive: Move the show to another night, already; the Thursday gambit is clearly not working."

    My thoughts exactly Graeme. It should have stayed where it was, as there was jack shit happening on Wednesdays. #fringe

    Let us break down this statement:

    The mood on set and in the writer's room is as good as the ratings are bad, which is to say, wonderful.

    Translation: "The ratings are terrible and yes boss, it is our fault. All our fault. Your decisions are held in higher regard than what us artistic types call 'common sense'. But we are working real hard and staying positive. Right Fox? That's what you want? Go-getters. Smiles."

    Luckily, Fox has been insanely supportive, for which we are deeply grateful... [G]iven that we're on one of the [it] hardest [nights] on television...

    ...we're just focusing on making the best show we possibly can.[We promise.]

    And finally, the cry for help.

    What else can we do?

    I'm just saying. Seems fishy.

    Thursday is as crowded as the rest of the week is bare at this point.

    Move Fringe to Monday after House already!

    Fire the writers, hire a continuity editor, pretend the second season never existed, and start next year with the real season 2. Its not like Thursday is the problem. The show started the year at 3.0, 2.3, 2.3, 2.1, 2.2, 1.7. People who used to watch Fringe are tuning out.

    Greys and CSI ate into the 3.0 starting a week later, but the 2.3-1.7 decline is either coming from cable or people just plain tuning out. All the other network shows in the 9-10 hour are seeing small declines or no growth, so they're not stealing Fringe's audience. #fringe

    I think I will watch an episode of the original Prisoner each time the remake is on.

    Fox is that underachiever kid with amazing potential and poor decision making skills who sabotages himself due to poor self esteem and a mother who never believed in him. #fringe

    There is a good, tangible reason for this last thursday's ratings hit, being that the night was scheduled for baseball.

    Not trying to make a point, but are these things still measured by nielsen? I have no idea. #fringe

    Why do they insist on moving shows around so much. Look at ER. It stayed in the same time slot for its entire run and it did great. #fringe

    "Fox insanely supportive" is about as reassuring as:

    "The check is in the mail."

    "I've NEVER done THAT before."

    "Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they have obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe. I suggest we use it."

    "You know of course though he's right about the 9000 series having a perfect operational record. They do. "

    "Try it you'll like." #fringe

    I pick Fringe on Thursdays over Supernatural because the wife gets Grey's. I already gave up CSI for Supernatural a couple of years ago and was comfortable with it and then they pull this shit moving Fringe to Thursday like it can compete with Grey's and CSI. Give it up Fox move Fringe back to Tuesday where there is no competition. #fringe

    Possibly not the first time the words "insanely" and "supportive" have been used in the same sentence as "Fox", but surely the first to be in that order and without intervening words? #fringe
