In a rather clever move, FOX has scheduled "Tweet-peats" of
Fringe and
Glee this week. What's that, you say? It's only the latest evolution in the
Pop-Up Video movement. In a truly interactive experience, the cast and producers of the shows will be Tweeting live during the broadcast with fans. They'll offer commentary, behind-the-scenes secrets and even hints about the forthcoming season.
Fans can follow along via Twitter, or if they'd rather they can just sit back and watch. FOX will stream the Tweets on the bottom third of the screen.

I'm about to have a lot of free time on my hands when my favorite shows go into reruns due to this writers strike. Besides the late night talk shows, the first scripted series to go into reruns is

CBS is trying to build on the great ratings it had for the
premiere of
The Unit on Tuesday night, by offering an 'encore' episode of the pilot this Saturday.
The
Unit premiered up against new ABC comedy
Sons & Daughters and against ratings juggernauts
American Idol and
House. So, while it didn't beat
AI or the unfriendly doc, it did kick
ABC's sorry butt by more than
10
million viewers.
The Unit, about a covert, special ops miltiary unit, stars former
24 president
Dennis Haysbert and is executive produced by genius playwright David Mamet.
The sad thing about this is the
general consensus (and
Jonathan's
review) that
The Unit really sucks, while
Sons & Daughters is terrific (just
ask Joel).
