Fringe, the sci-fi drama from J.J. Abrams (Lost, Alias), debuted on Fox on September 9. It’s about FBI agents investigating unexplained phenomena, kind of an updated X-Files. I don’t watch it. Hubby KC tried it out, and I trust his recommendation that I wouldn’t be interested. DC Comics released issue #1 of their planned six-issue [...]

My colleague cousinwalter may not have enjoyed the pilot of Fringe , but I've been loving the show so far. It's not as instantly compelling as previous J.J. Abrams shows like Lost and Alias , but I'm happy to see a well made, wonderfully acted monster of the week show back on FOX.
