"J. J. Abrams has admitted that he is &amp;quot;horrified&amp;quot; by the news that his show Fringe is being moved to Friday nights. The drama&amp;#039;s network Fox announced in November that the series will be pushed back to make way for American Idol. &amp;quot;Oh, I&amp;#039;m horrified beyond belief,&amp;quot; Abrams told Collider. &amp;quot;But as a fan of the genre and the show, I&amp;#039;m hoping that fans will tune in.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;I certainly can promise that it will be worth their while. The episodes that are coming up are spectacular. I guess you can just be hopeful and say that if the work is good enough, it will find the audience. I think they&amp;#039;re doing better work now, even in the second half of season three, than they&amp;#039;ve ever done in the series. I&amp;#039;m just crossing my fingers that fans of the show show up.&amp;quot; Abrams admitted that he doesn&amp;#039;t see an upside to the move because &amp;quot;the audience on Friday nights is harder to find&amp;quot;, but insisted that he is still on good terms with Fox. &amp;quot;Certainly, I would be lying to you if I said I&amp;#039;m thrilled about the move,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;But what I am thrilled about is that the network has been incredibly supportive and, despite its move to Friday, they&amp;#039;ve been nothing but encouraging of the show. It&amp;#039;s still on the air in its third season and it&amp;#039;s not easy to do that. It&amp;#039;s not easy to get to season three of anything. They&amp;#039;ve allowed the show to become truly great, I think. The question is, will audiences find a great show on Friday nights? I pray that they do.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Fox exec: &amp;#039;Fringe, Lie To Me not doomed&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
