I wrote a post late last month regarding my selections for Must See Television Shows of 2008. Although I have no plans to drop those shows from my regular scheduled programming, I have added one more to the list of must see’s.
4. Fringe
From J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the team behind “Star Trek,” “Mission: Impossible III” and “Alias,” comes a new series that will thrill, terrify and explore the blurring line between the possible and the impossible. Fox Info
I normally try to wait until the end of the first season to watch the entire series on DVD, but with all this talk about how great the series was I took a chance. As a die hard sci-fi geek I easily was drawn into it. Now I’m hooked on the series and hopefully its lasts unlike the promising Blade series which was cut just after a single season run.
When it Airs: On Guam is airs at 9pm every Wednesday on Fox6. I believe it airs in the mainland on Tuesday’s at 9/8c.
Why I watch it: First of all its J.J. Abrams we are talking about here! Just take a look at his track record. He’s like the Steven Spielberg of television. I tried to stay away and it became futile. I got totally sucked into it!
My favorite characters: Its easily Walter Bishop. I’m sure most would agree with me as well. Bishop is the Frankenstein of modern science and he brings a bit of comedic value to a show that would otherwise be all serious.
