    I'm a mom so I don't get to watch any live tv. Bedtimes and all that. So I watch everything on DVR or download it. And with Fringe, I work Friday nights so I don't even get home until about an hour after it finishes airing.

    I download it the next day and live stream it sometimes. If i could i'd watch it on Fox and DVR it but that's the problem, there's nothing that we can do to support the show when we don't live in the US...

    Live plus DVR so I can rewatch a lot. Last week it was a solid 10 rewatches. Yeah.

    I tend to watch it live on FOX, but i don't have a Nielson box, so it doesn't really help.:(

    I usually watch Supernatural first, so that I can watch Fringe with no commercials, because I can't handle commercials. O_O

    I would Love Love Love to watch live and help the ratings. Unfortunately I live in Nigeria so.......yeah, there's not much I can do. It sucks because Fringe is my favourite show.

    I wish I could watch it live, but as I live in Europe that is not possible. It is an awesome show and I don´t understand the bad ratings.

    Wow that was certainly quick! I figured it would be made and up maybe in a few hours. Thanks for making this poll. By the way, I try to watch live when I have control of the TV, but unfortunately that is rare lately, so I DVR it. But since I'm also glued to my laptop, and am constantly checking here and other places for a cool Fringe post or comment, I have to watch the Live stream so as not to be spoiled more so that i already spoil myself. So I chose Live stream plus DVR it for later.

    Generally I DVR and then watch on Friday.  I am a Supernatural fan, so I usually watch that live and then Fringe afterward.  If my daughter is home we tend to watch Fringe then Supernatural, but we start Fringe late so that we can skip the commercials.

  14. LinlighthouseNovember 18, 2011 at 6:30 PM

    Live and DVR most of the time. But we do sometimes go out Friday nights (like tonight), so in that case I watch it later that night or on Saturday

    I'm Brazilian, so I download it and watch on live stream.

    I tape it on my VCR. I have only 6 VHS tapes, so it's not permanent.
    If there is nothing else, I watch it live on the local affiliate.
    I only watch the online stream on CityTV later if necessary.

    Download because I'm in the UK, if I was in the US I would watch it live, DVR it, watch it again on Fox.com, buy it on Itunes! All of the options to make it successful. Sadly I'm not

    I used to just download for the next day but with all the treats of cancellation I've been watching live on FOX for the last few weeks!

    Watch it live... Would've said Watch Live plus DVR it, but I've never used my DVR... I mean what's the point of having a DVR when your not even allowed to tape the shows you like to watch but have to miss because Fringe is on?

  24. Bunky BunkNovember 18, 2011 at 7:55 PM

    It's easy, you can order one at http://www.getaprivatedeliveringstork.com/

    But when the storks are too busy (it's a booming market right now), what I do with Fringe (and most of the shows I watch) is I download the iTunes versions (Web-DL) on Saturday afternoons. 1.35 GB of sharp image and crystal clear sound, with no logos and no commercials popping up at the bottom of the screen (well, FOX doesn't do that a lot, it's mostly NBC that can't help but promote their shows during one another, often with a flashy orange bar scrolling, they don't have enough commercial time apparently).

    Then, I wait for subtitles (good ones, with a proper adaptation and norms, not litteral translations of every single word), which are often released on Sunday nights. Not that I need them (Fringe isn't as tricky to understand as, say, The Wire) but I prefer to watch it that way so that I don't get confused when Walter explains scientific stuff. Actually, I haven't started to watch season 4 yet, I'm storing my iTunes versions and the appropriate french subtitles in a folder entitled 'Fringe' until... well, apparently the Christmas break starts tonight after episode 4.07 so I could get started and watch all 7 episodes this weekend.

    But if I really like a show, I always manage to buy the Blu-Rays at some point when they're out in France (I stopped purchasing DVDs for a while now, unless it's a rare opportunity (i.e : limited collector edition) or an old show).

    And in this case, I've bought the first two seasons of Fringe on Blu-ray, 49€ went in Warner Bros. pockets on the account of me loving Fringe, so I've done my part and 'redeemed' myself for downloading the show in the first place (I maybe wouldn't have discovered it otherwise). Maybe Santa will bring season 3 over at Christmas (or maybe I'll just ask a stork, they work on Christmas, too).


    People who watch the shows live, I don't know how you do for coping with
    4 breaks per episode / 18 minutes of commercials in an hour. It always
    bugs to have one 5-minute commercial break when I watch a show on TV, I
    don't think I could stand 4 breaks, especially when waching a serious drama like Fringe.

    As I live in Oz I download it to watch as soon as I can.  But if I did live in the US I would watch it live.  But since how you watch it doesn't really matter unless you have a Neilson box it is subjective.

    I live in Portugal, so I can't watch it live - I couldn't either way, I'm way to loud and would probably wake everybody up at home lol. So yeah, I wake up really early on saturday morning just to download and watch it and then spend pretty much the afternoon re-watching it.

    Download it. I too live in Europe, so there's not much else I can do. Though I do buy the DVD/Blu-ray box sets later when they're available. When I lived in the US I would, however, watch shows live.

    Wow. From the comments here, it's amazing how many dedicated foreign Fringe fans there are. I mean already I've seen Portugal, Germany, The Netherlands, Europe, Britain, Russia, Australia, Italy, Nigeria (me) and Argentina. It sucks our live ratings are low because we have such a dedicated fan base. I would love to be able to help the show in any way. :(

  36. DahneNovember 18, 2011 at 11:05 PM

    Except on rare occasions like the week Peter returned, I download Fringe on Saturday and watch it on Sunday after I finish my Supernatural recap.  It makes a nice reward.  I am not a Nielsen viewer, so how I watch doesn't matter.

    i save it until i have about 3 episodes to watch and then catchup!  the anticipation is FABULOUS!!!! Until you get to the finale when I am always champing at the bit like everyone else!

    Yep, I usually watch Supernatural first too. Although it's become more of a debate since Peter came back (the week after he showed back up I watched Fringe first and then watched Supernatural on my DVR right afterwards). Now I watch the commercials and read the plots and agonize over which to watch first.

    It sucks not having a Nielson box though huh? I wish that they would come up with a separate category for people who actually wanted one, were passionate about TV, and understood what ratings meant. God I would suck it up and actually watch commercials if it made a difference having one and affecting the shows I love.

    The only thing i can think of is you could always write to Fox Broadcasting network. You could also look for Fringe websites and see if they have petitions you could sign,and get your friends and family to do the same. I think Fox,the writers and producers of Fringe would really appreciate hearing how much you like this show,and how much it means to you to have your voice heard. :D

  50. lilah_lilahNovember 20, 2011 at 6:39 AM

    Same, but I don't even wait until next day. Usually I find it a few minutes after it ends in the US, download it and see it right away.
    For fringe is bad enough to have to wait one week between episodes, so the wait that I can avoid, I will!

    Obviously, from all previous Comments FRINGE is extremely popular outside US. so if FOX cancels the Show I Hope that J.J. Abrams Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Jeff Pinker and the rest of the FRINGE team will Make this genius Sci-fi series into a movie with the same cast. That way, outside US viewers will hit the Theaters Big Time! Make FRINGE into a Movie plz!!!
