Twitter#'Fringe,' #'Glee' reruns get Twitter treatment
FOX will try to harness the power of Twitter to drum up interest in two of its shows with special "tweet-peats" later this week.The network is hoping to coordinate a massive tweet-up for reruns of "Fringe" (9 p.m. ET Thursday) and "Glee" (9 p.m. Friday) by having cast members and producers of the two shows offer Twitter commentary during the episodes. Fans will be able to follow along online, and a scroll with tweets from the participants will run on the bottom of the screen during each episode.
The "Fringe" rerun scheduled for Thursday is the next-to-last episode from last season, in which Olivia (Anna Torv) starts having visions of things that aren't really there -- at least not in the moment she experiences them. "Glee" will re-air its pilot in advance of its debut on Wednesday, Sept. 9; "Fringe" begins its second season Thursday, Sept. 17.
Fans can follow along via the show's official feeds ("Fringe" is here, and "Glee" is here) and can also follow the cast members and producers individually.
For "Fringe," the participants are Joshua Jackson (@peterbishop2), John Noble (@labdad1) and executive producers Jeff Pinkner (@jpfringe) and J.H. Wyman (@jwfringe). The "Glee" tweeters are Lea Michele (@msleamichele), Kevin McHale (@druiddude), Mark Salling (@mark_salling), Cory Monteith (@frankenteen), Amber Riley (@msamberriley) and Chris Colfer (@chriscolfer).

Please at least give us the option to shut the damn twitter off the screen... it's totally ruining a great show!
How do you get if off the screen? I'm trying to watch the show NOT read! Hate the twitter!
This twitter thing is too much. It is going to ruin the show. I can't believe Fox would do something like this. If you want to talk about the show do somewhere else not on the my screen. It is like people talking behind you while you are trying to watch a movie. If this keeps up I believe this will be the last season of Fringe. Which is sad but Fox can't blame anybody but themselves. Does anyone think this is a good idea?
I was enjoying the show until that S$$$ started, had to get away and change the channel. Could not enjoy the show, Junk. I agree with the other comment it did ruin the show and I will not watch it again if that happens, I can always find something more interesting to do with my time than watch some idiots comments.
