Did anyone else watch the premiere of "Fringe"?

I can see by searching that the PPOT forum is not a particularly big fan of super kewl TV shows...so I don't expect much from this (your Lost thread only went 2 pages...Heroes was even shorter...)

But, on the off chance that any of you fuddy duddys still enjoy the new style of hyper complex serial shows...what did ya think of this new Abrams creation?

Now, It's no Lost, nor a Heroes, but it might still be better than anything else on network TV. I was a bit hesitant until they showed the "upcoming scenes" at the end, and that swayed me a bit back towards giving it the college try.

"X-Files" ripoff from the sound of it.

Certainly nothing worth wasting my time on.

I found it a moderately enjoyable way to waste over an hour tonight. Not the best show out there, but well above average.

How useful. I'm so glad you decided to comment on a show that you didn't watch, now I know the truth, and won't waste any more of my terribly valuable time watching that "ripoff".

You've saved me from ignorance.

I wanted to watch it, but was out of my apartment when it was on. Hopefully I'll catch the next episode.

House is one I never miss, however.

Have to disagree, that would be "Mad Men".



EDIT: Oops, you said network TV (MM is on AMC). My mistake, play on.

yeah, I watched and thought it was pretty good especially the part where she stripped down to her undies.

Exactly - I liked it a lot when compared to the other completely moronic network shows such as "The Wall" (I think that's the title) where contestants have to 'pose' in the exact cut-ouyt shape of a wall that moves toward them or they are scraped into a pool.............................................. ........unf***king believable

Lol asphalt, that sounds awesome. Better than reality TV at least.

I saw the Fringe pilot when it was leaked a few months ago... pretty good stuff, especially considering how crappy Heroes had become in the second season.
