Fox announced yesterday that JJ Abrams’ Fringe and Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse,will have fewer commercial breaks. Both shows would have network commercial loads of about five minutes per hour - half the usual.

Fox Entertainment chairman Peter Liguori said : “We’re going to have less commercials, less promotional time, and less reason for viewers to use the remote. We’re going to redefine the viewing experience. It’s a simple concept and potentially revolutionary.”

The fact that Fox is cutting down commercials will make Fringe more expensive to shoot because they’ll have to produce longer episodes ( yay!).
