Tweet-peats

Television repeats embellished with Twitter comments from cast members and producers.

Writing on The Los Angeles Times’s Showtracker blog, Maria Elena Fernandez commented on the use of Twitter to titivate TV repeats:

Fox will feature on-screen Twitter feeds — “tweet-peats” — by producers and actors during the broadcasts of “Fringe” at 9 p.m. Thursday and “Glee” at 9 p.m. Friday. …

During the episodes, viewers will be able to follow the cast and producers’ tweets online via Twitter and on the air via a lower-third scroll. The actors and producers will provide commentary, answer questions, and offer insights about the upcoming season.
