Oh to see the Bluth's on the big screen would be the best. And if you have not seen this show then what the hell is your problem?!
The Fringe ad campaign
First off, have you seen the posters? They're all over LA right now. They intrigue us to say the least.
Secondly, have you heard the radio ads? If not, you can go here and listen to them:

Third, there's some speculation that this youtube video is linked to the show. On the official Fringe website, there's a link to this video. Interesting, considering it was added in August of 2007.
