Fringe TV Show Review
Every Fall I look for a new TV show to watch along with my current favorites. This year nothing really stood out until I saw a preview for Fringe. Now, I’m not normally into shows on Fox except American Idol and sometimes I’ll watch House. However, I knew immediately that I had to watch and see what Fringe was all about since I like Lost, and well, because my other science fiction kicks -The Dead Zone & The 4400 series ended this past year.
So, what is Fringe anyway?
Fringe centers around Olivia, a female FBI agent played by the very pretty Anna Torv, a cute genius with a sense of humor - Peter Bishop played by Joshua Jackson, his crazy scientist father played by John Noble, and of course fringe science. What more could you ask for?
The pilot episode began with a mysterious midair flight disaster where all that was left was melted bodies. Throughout the twist and turns in the Fringe pilot episode, I was definitely entertained, and I was glued to my TV screen wanting more. The cast of characters are relatively unknown - at least to me except Joshua Jackson from Dawson’s Creek whom I adore. However, the cast has great chemistry together so I really look forward to seeing what happens next.
Fringe airs on Fox every Tuesday night at 9pm EST and was created by Lost co-creator J.J. Abrams.
I’m really hoping that this one doesn’t get cancelled because I’m already hooked after viewing episode 2 last night. What are your thoughts on Fringe? Love it, hate it, or have never heard of it?

I’ve certainly found it gripping. I like sci-fi but still require things to meet certain plausibility standards…this show does ok.
I think I’ll keep going with it as long as it has a good plotline. They’ll just have to know when to wrap things up and let go…that’s what I’m afraid of for the future. But for the now, I’m enjoying it!
i love this show!!!
great addition to my tv schedule…problem is that it ran at the same time as the biggest loser, which is my other favorite show…
I saw the first show and am hooked. I love Josh Jackson too, so that helps. I haven’t watched the newest one yet but look forward to it!
[...] The New TV Show, Fringe [...]
Oh ouch! Writing on this show is deplorable and my suspension of disbelief only has so much grace.
Acting is horrible and the cast is a misfire. They try too hard to be intense - and it doesn’t flow.
I set up a season pass on my TIVO because the promos looked decent. First show I watched - then deleted the other one that recorded and canceled the season pass.
Sorry - but I think this is a stinker.

Worst sci-fi series ever. Acting is awful. Nothing plausible about the plot. Crazy doctor seems to be intimately familiar with every single phenomenon.
Fringe seems to be a is good TV series. It a bit similar to Torchwood and X Files. I just hope that it will not be spoiled.
