Brief spoilers for last night’s Fringe coming up:
I think it’s fair to say that most of us have not experienced the complications that result from inadvertently sleeping with the parallel-universe doppelgänger of someone you are in love with. (Though if anyone has any crazy twin stories, feel free to share them in the comments!) But …

Spoilers for last night’s episode of Fringe coming up:*
While it may not have been the high point that the emotional “Peter” from earlier this year was, “Entrada” was a pretty excellent action-focused episode, in which the dimensional swap between Fauxlivia and Realivia came to a head. In the process, it demonstrated that Fringe‘s …

Late Friday night, in a surprise move, Fox announced a midseason schedule with a big, big change: American Idol will move from Tuesday and Wednesday nights to Wednesday and Thursday nights. The move has already been hashed out well at some more biz-minded sites, but it deserves a Tuned In post, for your discussion/mourning if nothing …

I had dreams of doing a longer writeup of last night’s excellent Fringe this morning, but looking at the clock and my schedule, that’s not going to happen. Rather than keep you waiting any longer, I’ll throw this post open to your discussion.
In general, I feel like Fringe is finally becoming the show I hoped it would be when it …

Time’s tight, so I’m going to throw out some spoilery thoughts on the universe-straddling season finale of Fringe, entirely in hail-of-bullets form. Stand back; I’m using the 77 model.
* A random thought first: I can’t help but think that, however the parallel-worlds storyline of Lost is resolved in its finale, it will eventually beg …

No time for a full review of last night’s Fringe, “White Tulip,” but after having done some earlier grousing about how the show balances mythology and standalone episodes, this one did a much better job reconciling the two. I don’t need Fringe to become a Lost-like serial (whatever my personal preferences). But I found this approach, …

There was plenty of TV last week that I’m not going to get around to catching up on, but the midseason return of Fringe, “Peter,” was probably my favorite episode since “There’s More Than One of Everything,” and it deserves at least a quick notice. (Spoilers ahead.)

Spoilers for last night’s “winter finale” of Fringe after the jump:

The emerging consensus in Tuned Inland is that Thursday is becoming a problem. A high-class problem, yes: too much good (or at least potentially good) TV. I don’t even watch Grey’s Anatomy, yet at this point, I find myself finishing my time-shifted Thursday-night programming somewhere around the following Monday—especially since Mrs. …

Fringe is turning out to be even more like The X-Files than I suspected when it started—structurally, anyway, in that it’s breaking down between monster-of-the-week episodes, which I might enjoy but don’t feel compelled to watch right away, and mythology episodes, which focus on the overarching parallel-universe storyline and …

Still working my way through my Thursday-night TV backlog, with a thing or two else on my plate, so I’ll open the floor to your thoughts on the second FlashForward and/or the second Fringe of the season. As I mentioned last week, FlashForward intrigued me, but I didn’t actually like its writing or characters enough to move it to the …

I’ll have a post about last night’s The Office and Parks and Recreation up a bit later this morning. I’ve already weighed in on last night’s debut of Community, though, and while I enjoyed Fringe for its Walterliciousness—and the awesome sight of Olivia flying through the windshield—it stayed far enough away from the big reveal at …

Besides tonight’s debut of Community, we also have the returns of The Office, Parks and Recreation and Fringe, which Fox has decided to add to my Thursday entertainment burden menu. After the jump, a little rundown of what to expect, and how I plan to handle blogging the heavy schedule of Thursday shows as the fall season kicks in.
