Get Inside Fringe's Fourth Season with New Featurette
In the wake of Fringe's shocking third season finale "The Day We Died," a new featurette sees the cast teasing what to expect from season four.
We're not sure if Joshua Jackson should be all smiles, considering the reality-bending twists Fringe writers will have to come up with to get Peter Bishop back on the show for the fourth season due out this Fall. Not only that, but he'll have to watch his back now that Lincoln Lee (Seth Gabel) has officially been promoted to series regular.
It's been only a few weeks since the shocking events ofFringe's third season finale "The Day We Died," which saw Jackson's Peter Bishop suddenly fading out of existence after using the machine to tear holes between universes and finally bridge the gap in the parallel universe war (isn't this show great?), but already cast and crew are hard at work at plotting out season four.And don't you worry folks, showrunners Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have assured viewers that Joshua Jackson will indeed return next season. But who might be penning and producing the pages that see Peter's mysterious return? Why, none other than former LOST, Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer writer David Fury, according to his twitter!
Fringe fans will see much less of Kirk Acevedo's Charlie Francis however, who despite the universes merging has been cast in NBC's picked up series Prime Suspect, precluding him from appearing in more than three or four episodes.
The latest Fringe featurette also teases some tantalizing possibilities for season four that actors Lance Reddick andJohn Noble point out, both putting for that the Observers will likely take a larger role next season, while the recent alliance between universes could prove handy when Walter and Walternate face a common enemy!
Check out what else the cast had to say below, and scribble on the board your own theories for Fringe's future in the comments below!

Comic-Con: The Hobbit Just Got a Little Funnier with Stephen Fry
Stephen Fry does it all. He writes, acts, speaks, blogs -- basically, he's putting us all out of jobs. His latest role will be that of an ordinary human, albeit one who gets to hang out with hobbits and dwarves and dragons.
Compared to the The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbitwas always a lighter adventure, a prequel meant for younger readers as a segue into the epic, dark experiences of the Fellowship of the Ring and their quest to Mordor. Keeping with his past trilogy, it's likely that Peter Jackson's upcoming adaptation of The Hobbit will keep the same grim tone, but with recent casting additions, there may be room in the film for a bit more comedy.
Jackson and Fry have a previously relationship, spending a good part of the last decade working together on a remake of the 1955 war film The Dam Busters. Now Jackson's expanded his relationship with Fry, bringing him into theHobbit fold in a role that could be more substantial than the original text would have you believe, now that the source material is being broken into two parts.
For those unfamiliar with Fry, or simply need a reason to love this bit of casting, watch this:
Jackson also updated with a few more casting additions, including relative unknown Ryan Gage as the Master of Watertown's slimy servant Alfrid and Conan Stevens as the orc Azgog. Jackson posted a picture of himself and Stevens on set, to give you an idea how tall this lumbering actor really is (Jackson is aroundn 6'5"). Not someone you want to mess around with.

The Hobbit is a strong contender for a panel at SDCC this year, so keep your eyes peeled for official announcements soon.

Dexter's Got A Brand-New Nanny For Season Six
Showtime announces former Off the Map star Aimee Garcia will join the sixth season of Dexter as Batista's sister and a new nanny for baby Harrison.
Fresh off the cancellation of ABC's Off the Map, TVLine reports that Dexter has recruited Map star Aimee Garcia for a new role in the coming season as baby Harrison's new nanny Jamie, and none other than Angel Batista's sister herself! Could there be romance in the air, amidst all the blood spatter? After Lumen left (and thank Harry she did), we know Dexter doesn't mind getting down a bit in the wake of his wife's murder.
Oh, and don't worry about Dexter's former nanny Sonya, as the report points out "sources confirm she either got fired, quit, or died." Hmm. Alright then.
Garcia joins several new faces for the cast of season six, most recently hip-hop artist and actor Mos Def, and the big news of Colin Hanks' season-long recurring role as "Travis, a highly intelligent young expert on ancient artifacts who gets linked to a series of grisly murders in Miami."
Other known details for season six include the reveal that Dexter's relationship with sister Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) will take center stage this season, and the announcement of three as-yet-uncast recurring roles for the season.
Dexter begins shooting in Los Angeles May 25th for a likely Fall premiere of the sixth season's first episode, titled "Those Kinds of Things!" (SpoilerTV)
But don't take our word for it! Check out the teaser trailer, and make your bloody mark in the comments section below!
The Awesome Gross Chick From Bridesmaids Announces Two Projects
The Bridesmaids scene-stealer is doubling-down with two new comedies.
When I first reviewed Bridesmaids I was so swept up with Kristen Wiig's performance (the best film comedienne since Madeline Kahn) that there were few column inches left to talk about the other performances.
As I exited the SXSW premiere, however, I recall saying to friends that "if it were a just world, Melissa McCarthy would be starring in films of her own."
Well, there's nothing like a movie overshooting its estimates (it made $25 million at the box office this weekend) and receiving near-universal praise to make miracles happen.
Deadline reports that McCarthy is teaming with Bridesmaids co-writer Annie Mumolo on a quest movie to steal the Stanley Cup for her dying husband. The husband will be played by McCarthy's actual husband, Ben Falcone, who plays the object of McCarthy's affection in the soon-to-be-if-not-already airplane scene in Bridesmaids.

What disgusting things are in store for this noble vessel?
Entertainment Weekly is also reporting that Bridesmaids director Paul Feig is setting up a project for McCarthy to star in. Nothing is yet known, except for the quote pulled in The Film Stage's article, "“If an actress like Melissa becomes a huge star? THAT is a world I want to live in.”
McCarthy uglied herself a bit for the role in Bridesmaids, but no matter how you slice it she has "unconventional Hollywood looks." To that end, we must all do what we can to support Ms. McCarthy and her career. Because she's really effing funny and we need more of that.

To SURIVIVE the Friday Night Death Slot
Friday Night can be a harsh mistress when it comes to our favorite shows, but what of those who survived?
Battlestar Galactica
Lifespan: 75 Episodes
As tends to be the case with cable, and especially the Sci-Fi channel (not SyFy), plenty of shows actually fare better in Friday nights than other time slots. This particularly proved true with the Battlestar Galactica re-make.
Of course, the absurdly gripping drama, visuals and storytelling might have had something to do with it as well. Plus, what else did Battlestar fans have to do on a Friday night?
Law and Order: SVU
Lifespan: 266 Episodes to date
Truly, it doesn't matter when you air Mariska Hargitay's attitude and Christopher Meloni's rugged looks. Viewers will follow.
Despite never quite eclipsing the popularity of the original Law and Order (and what could), SVU debuted on a Monday before making its way to Friday, and slowly building a bigger audience toward its move to Tuesdays after the fifth season.
Wonder Woman
Lifespan: 59 Episodes
Ever as much the super-strong Amazonian as her namesake, Wonder Woman first found success in the Friday timeslot on ABC before the move to CBS produced similar results.
Let's see you to better, David E. Kelley.
Monk
Lifespan: 125 Episodes
Monk began life on ABC before the network passed it off to NBC's USA network, where it maintained consistent viewership through at least season six, ending up on Fridays as as a lead-in for Psych, when the network began angling itself around quirky comedies.
Miami Vice
Lifespan: 111 Episodes
Lasting for five seaons, our favorite sleeves rolled, violence against a pretty backdrop cops of Miami Vice moved to Fridays in its third season, and while struggling against soap opera Dallas in a competing timeslot, still lasted for two more amidst a host of other difficulties.
Stargate: Atlantis
Lifespan: 100 Episodes (does anyone else hear the Sonic "100 Rings" music whenever they read that?)
Successfully spinning off it's predecessor SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis never managed to surpass the initial ratings boom of its first episode, but still enjoyed a successful five seasons as a staple of Sci-Fi's Friday night lineup.
And despite the eventual failure of Stargate: Universe, movies for Atlantis are still in the pipeline.
Nash Bridges
Lifespan: 122 Episodes
Nash Bridges maintained strong ratings in the Friday timeslot, but faced steep competition in its sixth season from Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.
Despite the solid audience numbers however, the increasing costs got the better of the network, as Don Johnson had endured enough and the network was satisfied with reaching syndication.
Full House
Lifespan: 192 Episodes
Full House primarily retained its Friday timeslot from its beginning in 1987, though ABC occasionally bounced the show to Tuesdays, or even both days to aid in building audience.
After finding more success in its second season following Perfect Strangers, the show went on to become an early flagship of the TGIF lineup, eventually ending after eight seasons.
Numb3rs
Lifespan: 118 Episodes
Because who doesn't love David Krumholtz and Judd Hirsch?
CBS, on the money as usual, kept Numb3rs in a mostly consistent Friday timeslot, where through six seasons the series regularly maintained an average of about ten million viewers
Hangin' Out with Mr. Cooper
Lifespan: 101 Episodes
Created by the mind behind Full House (Michelle and Uncle Jesse even appeared once), Jeff Franklin, Hangin' With Mr. Cooper became yet another series to be given a boost by ABC's Friday night TGIF lineup.
The show lasted for five seasons and made it to syndication, despite the final 13 episodes airing on Summer Saturdays.
Psych
Lifespan: 79 Episodes and counting
A smart premise, talented cast, low costs and Monk's lead-in kept Sean and Gus continually aflush with good ratings and critical praise in their initial Friday timeslot, eventually graduating to Wednesdays following Monk's finale.
Keep it up, boys!
Step By Step
Lifespan: 160 Episodes
Ah, TGIF. The safest, warmest haven of all things Friday night family television. Step By Step enjoyed a rather lengthy run during the end-of-the-week lineup, but found itself moved to CBS for the final season, which like others preceded its ultimate cancellation.
Supernatural
Lifespan: 119 to date
Okay, we're risking the wrath of Hell by including this, but nothing a good Colt couldn't beat back. After five successful seasons in a Thursday timeslot, Supernatural joined Smallville on Friday nights, also with Sera Gamble taking over as show-runner.
Ratings, particularly with Smallville as a lead-in have remained mostly solid, but should the worst happen and the Winchester boys not merit a seventh season the journey here has been a devlishly good time.
Sabrina, The Teenage Witch
Lifespan: 163 Episodes
ABC managed to work its TGIF magic for four seasons with Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, and sold the show to The WB for an additional three seasons after putting the TGIF brand to rest following Boy Meets World's cancellation.
Viewers eventually waned, but it's hard to deny the charm of seven seasons of Melissa Joan Hart.
Everybody Loves Raymond
Lifespan: 210 Episodes
It would seem, in fact, that everybody did love Raymond, if not at first.
The show debuted to low ratings in its initial Friday timeslot, but found salvation in Bill Cosby (because who hasn't?) as he requested the show be moved to Mondays as a lead-in for his own, enjoying mammoth success for its nine seasons and resulting syndication.
Eureka
Lifespan: 53 Episodes and counting
Initially debuting on Tuesday, this quirky comedy about the sheriff of a town goverened by the advances of science and technology has gone on to become one of the Sci-Fi channel's most watched and critically acclaimed shows, moving its time to Fridays in the third season and continuing its brand of humor into a fourth to date.
The Brady Bunch
Lifespan: 117 Episodes
Believe it or not, The Brady Bunch never found much critical or commercial success in its five-year run, yet still survived in the Friday slot long enough to make a huge cultural impression.
More impressive still, The Bradys went on to grow in re-runs and syndications into the palpable, if campy franchise we remember today.
Family Matters
Lifespan: 215 Episodes
Despite how increasingly ridiculous plotlines became as Steve Urkel grew to dominate the series, the show found incredible success as a member of ABC's Friday TGIF lineup.
CBS eventually bought the show for its final season as a plan to revive ratings with their "Friday Night Block Party," but to little avail.
Smallville
Lifespan: 210 Episodes (217 by the finale)
Smallville's impressive lifespan rivals that of Superman himself, as floundering ratings toward the seventh and eighth seasons saw the shift to Friday nights.
Since the move, however, the series began to pick up steam with the addition of notable DC characters and guest stars, eventually granted enough life to sustain a ninth, and tenth season, given a graceful exit and transition into the Superman mythos.
Doctor Who
Lifespan: From 1963, and still going!
Despite its cult status and extensive history, Doctor Who didn't really get going stateside until the Sci-Fi channel picked up the revival featuring the grittier 9th doctor in 2006.
Since then, the good Doctor has continued to find successful ratings (as do many of Sci-Fi's friday lineup) and a much stronger American following continued through the 10th, and 11th Doctors.
The Six Million-Dollar Man
Lifespan: 99 Episodes, with 6 TV movies
Adapted from the original Martin Caidin covel Cyborg, The Six Million Dollar Man debuted with three TV movies before finally finding re-animation in his own Friday-debuting series, which went on to incredible success over five seasons, while Hollywood continues to salivate with remake intentions to the day.
Las Vegas
Lifespan: 106 Episodes
Initially airing on Mondays, NBC successfully maneuvered Las Vegas into a Friday slot midway through its third season. The show made it to a fifth based mostly on its strong fanbase, extensive celebrity guest stars, and the network's previous tendency to re-air episodes on Friday anyway.
Boy Meets World
Lifespan: 158 Episodes
The lynchpin of ABC's TGIF (Thank Goodness It's Friday) lineup from 1993-2000, the show proved one of the rare subversions to the wasteland of Friday television and brought forth the network's unprecedented popularity at a time of struggle.
So too when the show ended in 2000, did ABC retire the TGIF block. We'll miss you, Mr. Feeny.
Stargate: SG-1
Lifespan: 214 Episodes
Boy, the shows that can quietly coast by on the Sci-Fi channel without you ever realizing it.
Few might remember that Stargate SG-1 ran for its first five seasons on Showtime with a Sunday timeslot, before the network realized they couldn't bring new viewers with the show in syndication and Sci-Fi picked up the rights. Initially positioned before Farscape, the series went on to universal success with the network's Friday lineup (aided by previous reruns on Monday), and continued almost to the point of an eleventh season.
Even then, reunions and additional films continue to languish in possibility.
WWE Friday Night Smackdown
Lifespan: 601 Episodes and Counting!
Smackdown initially debuted on Thursdays against WCW Thunder, but found a much larger following after the move to Friday nights and the CW, from UPN, moreso than most of the sitcoms aired!
2008 saw a fall from The CW to MyNetwork TV, eventually landing on SyFy. Still, SyFy exists under NBC, and thus Smackdown finds itself advertised and available on USA as well!
The Incredible Hulk
Lifespan: 82 Episodes
Beginning a long trend of CBS's success with Friday night programming, The Incredible Hulk found strong ratings as a lead in for both The Dukes of Hazzard and Dallas, and continued beyond its fifth season with several TV movies.
Okay, I'll say it. HULK SMASH FRIDAY NIGHT DEATH SLOT!
Friday Night Lights
Lifespan: 76 Episodes
Clearly, we must put Friday Night Lights on Friday nights! It writes itself, death slot or no!
Friday Night Lights never sustained the highest of ratings during its run despite critical acclaim, though the move to Friday made for a gimmicky sort of sense that kept viewer interest up long enough to run through five seasons.
Interestingly, one could chalk up low Friday ratings to its audience actually being out supporting their school's Friday football.
The Dukes of Hazzard
Lifespan: 145 Episodes
Running (driving?) from 1979 to 1985, the good old boys had themselves a huge hit with CBS' friday night lineup, taking the timeslot just before Dallas.
We continue to remember the Dukes today, whether through servicable remakes, reunion specials, or just a good old fashioned pair of short shorts.
Dallas
Lifespan: 357 Episodes
Dallas initially began its run on Saturdays before eventually making its way into a Sunday timeslot, and finally settling on Fridays, if alternating between 9 and 10.
Still, with the notorious popularity and length of soap operas, CBS had little trouble keeping Dallas in dirty business on Fridays, and lord knows the upcoming re-make will fare if given the same slot.
The X-Files
Lifespan: 202 Episodes
Please, can you think of any better to break the stigma associated with Friday nights? The X-Files provided a shining beacon of hope for Friday night (particularly with Fox), as TV Guide described that members of the younger demographic would often watch the show prior to heading out (though this had the downturn of killing most shows paired with it.)
Eventually The X-Files moved to Sunday, and...well...we all know what happened after that.
