Fox Fall Premieres Shift a Week
Fox released a revised fall premiere schedule this week, and although all of the network’s shows will now make their 2008–2009 debut a week later, certain viewers have nothing to cry about. That would be those of us looking forward to the rookie paranormal drama Fringe, which, along with the midseason’s Dollhouse, will be undergoing a very special, notable experiment.
According to the network, as part of a plan called Remote-Free TV aimed at making Fox more competitive with cable networks, both shows will air every episode during their entire season with just five or so minutes of commercials and promotions. That’s a significant reduction equivalent to half of what hourlong dramas regularly include. Fans had better time those bathroom and snack breaks more efficiently!
Fall Grrl TV premiere dates and times are as follows:
September 3 — Wednesday
8pm-10pm: Bones (2-hour season premiere)
September 8 — Monday
8pm-9pm: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
September 9 — Tuesday
8pm-10pm: Fringe (2-hour series premiere)
September 10 — Wednesday
8pm-9pm: Bones (regular time slot)
September 16 — Tuesday
9pm-10pm: Fringe (regular time slot)
