“Fringe”
DRAMA. The epic sci-fi drama “Fringe” has survived five seasons of near cancellation. So we have no doubt good guys Olivia, Peter, Walter and Astrid will find a way to overthrow the oppression of the terrifying, emotionless Observers in Friday’s series finale.
Series finale, Friday, 8 p.m., Fox
“Prosecuting Casey Anthony”

Premiere, Saturday, 8 p.m., Lifetime
“Ripper Street”
