Apples & Cows
The Fox up-fronts always take place down the block from my office, at the City Center. This year my sister and I left work right as they were letting out, and there was a massive crowd on 55th street making it next to impossible to get to the subway.
While we were trying to get through the crowd, we noticed 2 things: there were people handing out apples, and there were around half a dozen Holstein cows standing in the street. We asked around to find out what show these apples and cows were helping to promote, and someone told us it was the new J.J. Abrams show Fringe.
This was back in mid-May. I’ve now seen several commercials for the show and I’m definitely going to watch it. It kind of reminds me of the X-Files, which I loved, only with a blonde Scully and a stubbly Pacey from Dawson’s Creek.
However, there is something I still don’t understand - what the hell do apples and cows have to do with the show?
