Despite poor ratings of late for his show FRINGE, J. J. Abrams says those who work on the show are keeping their spirits high.  According to Michael Ausiello of EW, the show had its lowest ratings yet last week, pulling in a mere 5 million viewers.  Abrams has reason to be positive, though.  Fox remains committed to the show, and is not likely to axe it, as they did today to this season's DOLLHOUSE.  Ausiello quotes Abrams as saying, "Luckily, Fox has been insanely supportive, for which we are deeply grateful.”

Note his use of the word "luckily."  Abrams' name usually augurs success when attached to a project (CLOVERFIELD, LOST, the STAR TREK remake).  For now, he can still count FRINGE among his successes, though for how long, only the amount of viewers will tell.
