Watch FRINGE, Tuesday on Fox

By Tom W. Bell and Glen Whitman

This is old news to most of my friends and family, but some of you might not have heard yet: I am currently taking a leave of absence from the university, because I?ve taken a position on the writing staff of a new television show, FRINGE, which debuts on Fox this Tuesday (8/7c). Please watch! (But don't expect to see my name in the credits anytime soon. My writing partner and I are very low on the totem pole.)

When we took the job back in May, I wondered if it would provide more inspiration for blogging. I can now say the answer is ?yes.? I constantly have these fleeting out-of-body-ish moments where I see how something I?m doing ? from helping shape a story to witnessing the internal politics of show biz ? also offers a fantastic example of this-or-that economic concept.

So where are all the fresh blog posts? Well, sadly, most of those great stories are things I can?t talk about! Posting spoilers about upcoming episodes on the internet could get me in a heap of trouble. Or at least I assume it could, as no one has specifically told me what I can and can?t reveal to the outside world.

But there are at least some things I can speak freely about, and hopefully I?ll blog them soon. You know, when I have the time. But my time, I?ve found, has become a lot more scarce lately. I?m often reminded of a favorite scene from Ghostbusters, in which the just-fired academics consider starting their own business. Dan Aykroyd objects, ?I?ve worked in the private sector. They expect results.?
