Maybe CBS has a repeat of Fringe to thank? Whatever the reason, The Mentalist hit a season high last night with its sixth episode. The freshman series then helped out Without a Trace’s numbers.

- Big Brother (CBS) - Season 11
- Entourage (HBO) - Season 6
- Flashpoint (CBS) - Season 2
- Here Come the Newlyweds (ABC) - Season 2
- Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List (Bravo) - Season 5
- My Boys (TBS) - Season 3
- Sons of Anarchy (FX) - Season 2
- True Blood (HBO) - Season 2
Fringe Gets Full Season Order
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, FOX, News,
After four weeks of impressive numbers, FOX has gone ahead and made it official: Fringe is now being given a full season.
Since premiering last month, the J.J. Abrams series has shown improvement from week to week. Not including the large spike on the night of House‘s debut, the show has grown steadily from 9 million to 9.9 million viewers.
The network’s “back nine” order makes Fringe the second fall show to be extended. Last week, CW requested a full season of 90210.
