I used to watch Fringe but I dont think it has that "Must watch next episode" touch.

Seasons have about 22-24 episodes to last from September - May which means they need to strech seasons to make them last. They hiatus during holidays and some shows stop for a full month to allow production to get ahead (Heroes for example).

Fringe also airs post American Idol which requires 2 hour slots instead of 1 on occasions (but it seems to be more than occassional nowdays) and Fox are happy to expand because it's the top rated show on TV, after the Superbowl.

I suppose that makes sense. I get that they have breaks normally in December/January, but it seems odd they come back for a couple episodes then disappear for another month or two!

So when it returns it will still be part of the 1st season?

Yes, the first season is set to last for 22 episodes.
