Fox Upfronts Markets "Fringe" [May 15, 2008] "Fringe" details and a huge marketing campaign came forth during the
Fox Upfronts in New York. "Fringe",
Mark's new series, will premiere with two-hour episode Tuesday, August 26, at 8 p.m. and then settle into its regular time period at 9 p.m. after "House." Starting new series in August is a week earlier than usual and during the same week as the Democratic National Convention.
Kevin Reilly, Fox entertainment president, said, "We have high expectations for
this. We'll have a huge campaign for it." The network plans to give the show an
even bigger boost in January, when it will air behind "American Idol."
In addition,
TV Week reports: "Fox importing two dozen cows to heavy traffic locations in
Manhattan. The bovine billboards will be accompanied by street teams handing out
all sorts of "Fringe"-themed merchandise, from T-shirts to apples. Other street
teams will ride around town on Segway scooters or moving on foot. All told, Fox
will hand out more than 5,000 "Fringe" items around the city.
The network will also be advertising heavily on a jumbo screen in Times Square,
as well as more than 40 digital billboards attached to subway entrances.
And once the sun sets, random video projectors set up around New York City will
beam "Fringe" ads on the sides of buildings and other public space."
"Fringe" will be one of two series Fox is calling
"Remote-Free TV," which means it will include about half the usual amount of
ads.
In review, "Fringe" is about two FBI agents (Mark Valley, Anna Torv) who
investigate weird goings-on with the aid of an Einstein-like genius (Lord of the
Ring's John Noble) and his estranged son (Dawson Creek's Joshua Jackson).
Spoiler alert! There's a plane crash. Everyone on Flight 627 dies. The shocking
truth leads to an even more shocking truth. For more spoilers, read SealCrab's

Ferguson + Gretsch = Valley [September 4, 2006]
by Matt Rousch | TVGuide.com
Question: Am I mistaken, or are
Colin Ferguson (Jack Carter of
Eureka),
Joel Gretsch (Tom Baldwin of
The 4400)
and Mark Valley (Brad Chase of Boston Legal) the same person using different
names?
Matt Roush: You're not the only one to write in about the resemblance between
Ferguson and Gretsch, but since you added the similarly square-jawed Valley to
the mix, let me just say that if they could bottle the water from that
particular handsome-leading-man gene pool, someone could make a fortune. (And
speaking of which, if only Mark Valley could find his way out of Legal and into
an actual leading-man role again, like the wonderful Keen Eddie.)

[Ed. note: This is exactly what I've been thinking while watching "Eureka".
Notice the mirrored back of the head shot. Also, I'd like to add
Max Martini of CBS'
"The Unit"
into the Valley doppelganger trifecta]
