What You Need To Know About Fringe
After six episodes, we're still not sure what to make of Fringe. While J.J. Abrams' much-hyped new show has become a permanent fixture on our DVRs, we can't say that we really like it. However, we don't really dislike it either. Tonight brings the series' first new installment in two weeks, ominously titled "In Which We Meet Mr. Jones". As Fox's website describes it: "a strange, almost-otherworldly parasite mysteriously attaches itself to the internal organs of a dying FBI agent." Eek! Sounds good to us! If you haven't been watching, here are some pros and cons to help catch you up before tonight.

Hey, Katie! Michelle! Josh! Dawson Could Use Your Help

Fringe Party As Weird As J.J. Abrams Show
When it comes to having a party for anything at all J.J. Abrams–the man who still has us trying to figure out what the heck the deal is with smokey the smoke monster on Lost -- we suppose it’s best to expect the unexpected. But a premiere party for his new show Fringe (premiering September 9th on Fox) all the way out there on 28th street between West 11th and 12th avenue? It actually felt like a J.J. Abrams show. read more »
Manhattan Weekend Box Office: Good Friday Good for One Thing; the Still Beating Heart of Joshua Jackson's Acting Career
Judging by box office—and the box office never lies—the one thing Good Friday was good for was taking your kid to the movies. Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who!
