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."

Five new posters for "Fringe" were unveiled this week at Fox.com, just one of the many facets of an enormous marketing campaign in an unprecedented move to promote the series on the same day it's officially announced..

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 script review here.

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.) [link]

[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]
