I have enjoyed this program very much until this Twitter started. When I watch a program, I want
to see it and not some words getting in the way. We actually gave up and didn’t watch the entire
program. I will try once more but it it’s there, you have lost a viewer.

I hate hate hated the Twitter crap taking up a big chunk of my screen. Couldn’t read it anyway, the text was so small. I turned Fringe off because it was so unwatchable. And endured it with Glee that I had recorded on DVR because I hadn’t seen it yet. It was so canned and fake. Please STOP and never do it again or I will make a point to never watch another Fox 11 show again.

I wanted to watch Glee….but I couldn’t take all the crap with that Twitter poo so I turned it off. Thanks for ruining what I thought would be a good show. I’ll never watch it again now.

If Fox executives want to see their tweets on screen, they should change their name to twitter TV. Nothing on TV has ever annoyed me more. The advertisers should ask for refunds.

Need to stop the twittering on youyr shows. It is very annoying to see it at the bottom of the screen. If I wanted to use twitter or see other people using twitter, then I would go on the Twitter.com site. This was going to be the first time I have watch Fringe, but becuase of your Twitter, I change the channel. Same thing with your Glee. If Fox is going to keep this up, I will stop watching Fox programming.

If I wanted to read twitter, I’d turn on my computer. I pay for cable to watch TV. Stupid idea. Please don’t show twitter on my TV viewing again.

I can’t even see the screen. Half of the action is gone. If Fox continues this, I will NEVER watch it.

If you continue to use TWITTER while we’re paying for a Cable Channel, we WILL stop watching ANY PROGRAM that utilizes this as a GIMMICK !

Stop this and let us enjoy what we’re paying for ! ! !

Put this back on the web where it’s free ! It’s annoying and distracting to what we use to consider as enjoyment!

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever been so angry with a show’s producers/creators. Whoever thought up this dumb idea of “tweeting” ON AIR should be fired immediately.

I have not missed an episode and was SO excited to sit down to watch the show. At first, I thought it was a technical mistake and that it would go away in a few seconds. Sadly, we ended up switching and watching a Grey’s Anatomy repeat becuase the tweet were just SO ANNOYING on the screen. First of all, who gives a crap what these yahoos think? I tuned in to watch the show, not read tweets (I can go to twitter and follow anyone I want). Second, if you have to put anything on-air during any type of show, please have the decency/courtesy to make is small enough so it doens’t take up 1/3 of the screen.

So my ire is two-fold. Who decided we had to suffer from the tweets in the first place and why were the darned things so BIG on the screen.

Please, please, please…someone who’s a bigshot at Fox…MAKE THE TWEETS GO AWAY!!!

I wanted to watch it but the stupid vapid twitter crap was covering the screen. It sucked and I probably wont ever watch fringe again in fear that they will start that crap again. … that was totally stupid, If board drunks want to see their stupid on screen they can go to MTV.

just to be clear …. twitter fringe sucked.

I was curious about the show. Then the twitter blocked the lower half of the TV screen. Wanted to turn know how to get rid of it. Instead changed the channel. Adding TWITTER to the show is extremely annoying. I don’t want to look at INANE converstations……. STUPID idea.

I have just changed channels. Twitter on fringe was just too much to take. I have never seen anything quite so distracting and irritating. It covered two third of the bottom of my High definition image and made it unwatchable. Too bad, fringe was an interesting show. What are you guys thinking !!

I hated every second, and am about to stop watching a show I love. It was NOT at the bottom of the screen, it took up half the screen, never ended. It must include a way to stop it or I will stop watching FOX altogether.

When I watch television I’d like to see the program, concentrate on the program, and not be inundated with superfluous trivia such as the content of the Twitter being shown on Fringe. This format does not allow the viewer to see the movie. I simply decided to change the channel, as did most of my friends.
