I think I read that Fringe is expensive to make so they are trying to use American Idol to boost fringe's ratings/# of viewers.

Only reason I ever watched Fringe was because it was after house.
And Fox, which always comes to life in January, is making changes on all five weeknights: Aside from the returns of "Idol" and "24," it's adding two new dramas next month and switching the time slots of "House" (to Mondays), "Bones" (to Thursdays) and "Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles" (to Fridays).
"We felt it was a year where we needed to spread out our offense and give two shows, 'Fringe' and 'Lie to Me,' a chance to benefit from 'Idol,' " says Fox program planning chief Preston Beckman.
"On Tuesday night, we haven't given a new show a shot in a while" behind Idol's massive lead-in, he says. "Fringe" will get the chance to expand its audience there.
And "Lie to Me," starring Tim Roth, is the first new drama to get the post-"Idol" treatment on Wednesday, which has been handed to other reality shows in the past few years.

Is this the beginning of the end, a la Married with Children going to Mondays, or just to make room for American Idol?

Bah Monday is too convoluted.
8PM: The Big Bang Theory (CBS), Chuck (NBC - 1 Hour), House (FOX - 1 Hour)
8:30PM: How I Met Your Mother (CBS)
9PM: Heroes (NBC - 1 Hour)
Five shows in one night...! This doesn't even include Weeds when that comes back. But I think I'm going to be watching House in the 8 to 9 slot. Mostly because 30 minute shows are released "online" in the "scene" faster than hour shows... heck, usually 20-40 minutes after the show is done airing at the latest. Hour shows typically take longer to release and therefore, it's better to "acquire" the shorter shows and watch the longer ones on TV.
