1. I watched the first season and gave it up
Although I like the premise of the story, I hated all the cast except Walter. I have since seen Anna Torv in another series and liked her, so I think it may be the direction rather than the players themselves.

3. Fringe is my favorite show right now. Noble is the best actor on television and Torv is splendid.
The show works for me and I glad it is coming back for a fourth season.

6. Fox's entertainment shows are some of the best on the old networks.
Edited on Sat May-14-11 11:49 AM by Iggo
Fox entertainment and Fox news are two different things.

I know it's easy to confuse the two, as they both deal in fiction.

That said, I don't watch Fringe. Reminded me too much of that Mulder and Scully show, which I didn't like at all after they started hunting aliens instead of monsters.

(EDIT: Punctuation, and tightened it up a bit.)

7. I do... great cast and they give the WOMAN a strong lead role
While I am not normally a major fan of scifi (with a few notable exceptions of course), the eccentricities of this series appeal to me. Who could not love Walter, after all. And, yeah, having a strong female lead character, like Oliva, that likewise gives the lead actress a chance to show their chops with their alternate character is really nice.

Funny how few shows that I watch anymore are on the Big THree networks. Fringe, Mad Men, Justified, the Closer, and of course HBO/Showtime fare when I can see it-- just head and shoulders above most of the network crap.

9. cartoon episode
and it was creative storytelling.:-). fresh, interesting ways of telling stories are so rare in tv, and for that matter in movies as well.
