Since the series is moving to Friday and the returning episode in January is titled Firefly, one YouTube user thought it was only appropriate to merge Fox’s sci-fi series Fringe with the canceled but loved series Firefly by way of a snazzy opening credits sequence modeled after Joss Whedon’s cult classic series. Gulacit says, “These are two of my favourite shows and wanted to do some kind of tribute to both of them, this is the result. I tried to do my best to be faithful to the original opening.” Hopefully this video will be the only similarity between Fringe and Firefly as the latter found itself canceled after being jostled around on Fox’s programming schedule.
Remember, Fringe isn’t taking their Friday scheduling lying down as a new promo aims to re-animate the seemingly dead programming night by making Friday freaky. Thankfully outlets such as Entertainment Weekly and CNN have been covering the awesome promo, so hopefully viewers will get the message and tune in every single Friday for the spectacular show. Thanks to Seriable (via Topless Robot) for calling this to our attention.

It’s ok as long as Fringe doesn’t become as boring as firefly.
Firefly was a unique, character driven, alien-free, western in space.
Fringe is X-Files lite with old guy farts.
Yeah Mike you’re on acid, Firefly was amazing. The episode when Jayne goes to the planet and everyone worships him was hilarious, and the last two episodes that were never aired are two of the best episodes of any show I have ever seen.
Not to mention the movie Serenity. which is one of the best sci fi films in a long time.
Sorry guys, I watched a few episodes of Firefly and didn’t like it. I know the series was popular on the internet. The “western in space” just didn’t do it for me. In Season 3, Fringe is more arc-ed than before with continuous story arc, deeper mythology and character arcs evolving. So everybody should be happy.
Love Fringe, and loved Firefly.
This made me smile.
In this day of DVR’s there is no such time as a “death slot.” Everyone I know records all the programs they watch in order to not only watch them when they want to, but also to avoid watching the mind numbing commercials.
