Its been a while since I've thought about it, but my guess is that I was thinking "meh, they're just gonna make it all Hollywood and not delve into the serious and realistic aspects of it, its Scooby Doo for grownups".

But with The Walking Dead and Appalachian Outlaws (among other shows) coming to an end for the year, I have time in my schedule now for another appointment tv show.

So Walking Dead has the serious and realistic aspect you're looking for? ;)

Millennium reboot?

You're comparing apples and oranges, I wasn't, totally different subject matter... each one is judged on its own merits.

;)

YES!

How about no.

Henriksen is older than Jesus.

FOX used to have some cool SciFi in the mid 90s.

VR5 and Space Above and Beyond to name a few

but they would cancel stuff so fast

I own the entire series on DVD. I could watch it every night if it was still in syndication.

I loved it. I really wish it was in syndication instead of a lot of the garbage sitcoms they feed to us.

And I feel the same way about Fringe. Hell, I think I like Fringe even better. Walter might be my favorite TV Character of all time...

The X-Files
 

I have the entire series on DVD. I bought it almost all at once probably 10 years ago and binge watched it like crazy.

How many ****ing tapes is that?

I watched every episode of Fringe but the writers just couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be about. Aliens? Multiverse? Time travel? Monster of the Week?

At its best, it was nearly as good as the X-Files best seasons (1993-1997, IMO). When it was at its worst (the final season and other episodes), it was Disappointment TV at its finest.

Fringe, Alcatraz and LOST are the reasons I will never, ever spend even two minutes watching a JJ Abrams produced television show, again, and the only reason I have any misgivings about Episode VII.

I would argue that for 4 seasons Fringe did a great job of balancing "story of the week" with an over-arcing story for the season.

In Fringe what happened in ep 2 of season 1 usually came back by the end. Or once again appeared in season 3. I thought they did a great job of slow playing ideas until the compressed last season.

I never did understand their really $#itty conclusion and how the time travel aspects were supposed to work out to make everything OK. In fact, no matter how you look at that ending it makes no sense...

**** and yes, I am watching the shit out of this.
Love me some goddamned X-Files.
