Or at least, choose to push a favorite off until later.

Fringe watchers have been doing exactly that. According to new numbers, Fringe gets a 41% boost in viewership when DVR numbers are added into the mix. It appears that even though fans may choose to watch another show before Fringe, they still want to watch Fringe.

This begs the question once again: why won’t Fox just move Fringe back to a different time slot. Fringe may be the strongest show that Fox has to put in that slot, but even so the show is struggling along with great difficulty, despite having a better season creatively than its freshman outing.

The good news? J.J. Abrams has said that he doesn’t believe that the show is in any immediate danger, because the studio execs understand that they have put Fringe in a terrible time slot. This means Fringe may survive, no matter how battle-scarred it is from fighting against the guys from CSI and the doctors of Grey‘s.

Hold on a little longer, Fringe, hold on.

On Tuesday the U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner stated that the U.S. economy is on the upswing, and that the government needed to work at ensuring a balanced recovery, Reuters reports.

“We are at the very beginnings of this recovery … We need to make sure that we keep at this, so we have in place a recovery that is going to be self-sustaining, led by private demand, (and) a financial system that can actually provide the credit that is needed,”

This is good news for Gen Y’ers who were just beginning to enter the stock market and the business world when the economy began its descent into madness.

Already it has been reported that Gen Y’ers are less likely to take risks than other generations when it comes to the market. An economic upswing could be exactly what this generation needs to jump in and bring back an economic boom.
