While watching the NFL Playoff game on FOX Sunday morning, between the Eagles and the Giants, I saw the cameraman pan past the field of play, and slowly past the sidelines, only to silently reveal The Observer from the FOX tv show Fringe, standing on the sidelines! I almost missed it. I’m thankful the DVR is always running.

The Observer was there to, well, I guess just to “observe”! It didn’t appear like he was rooting for any particular team in the Giants/Eagles playoff game.

I just thought it was great for FOX to plant this little promotional nugget into the game. No credits were posted on the screen identifying The Observer. The announcers didn’t make any mention of it at all. There was just that slow camera pan, pointing him out silently, but clearly, to us who are always watching Fringe, observing The Observer.
