More Recycling on TV!

Farewell original ideas!

According to reports, Fox just greenlighted a new J.J. Abrams (of Felicity, Lost and Cloverfield fame) show called Fringe.

The show follows the "exploits of a young female agent who tackles unexplained medical and scientific phenomena."

Sounds a lot like the X Files sprinkled with some Alias (ANOTHER Abrams show)!

Don't expect to see the program on air ’til 2009.

Does this sound like something you'd watch?

      It may not be the most original idea, but I trust JJ Abrams to show originality in execution. I mean, the premise of "Lost" sounded just like Gilligan's Island, but it has played out as one of the most original shows on television.

    31. Jen says – reply to this


      31

      I tend to trust JJ Abrams to entertain me. He will find an angle to make it interesting. At least it isn't 90210 all over again! So much excitement over something that was lame to begin with!

    32. Marthasbitch says – reply to this


      32

      It's GREENLIT not GREENLIGHTED.

      Some of the medical mysteries tackled in Fringe include; why farts are smellier in the shower. Why women must open their mouths while putting on eyeliner and mascara. The origins of benign scrotum and titty itch. The mechanisms of belly button lint. The reasons why the more money and fame a person gets the lower their IQ goes. And finally, why looking a pale pink blog site background makes some people post stupid comments. :)

    43. Cerag says – reply to this


      43

      If it was somebody else's show I would be more apprehensive, but since J.J. Abrams is behind it (I love his previous work), I'll definitely be watching.

    44. DunkinDonutsCoffee says – reply to this


      44

      "exploits of a young female agent who tackles unexplained medical and scientific phenomena."
      sounds like a "HOUSE" type show… minus the 'agent' part

    46. macdiddy says – reply to this


      46

      Will never be as good as X-Files, but I'll check it out.

    47. Vanessa, Michigan says – reply to this


      47

      yes….I would totally watch it.
      Love medical and sci fi like stuff

    48. Jonathan says – reply to this


      48

      Of course! Both of those shows were fantastic - blending them together spells ad revenue up the yin-yang.

      On a side note, J.J., if you're single and are into 4Sames, tell Perez to give you my email address

    49. hedwig says – reply to this


      49

      hell yeah!

    50. Hessu says – reply to this


      50

      Yes it does, Perez

    51. Nele says – reply to this


      51

      OMG, yes, yes, yes, yes!
      ALIAS is the best show E-V-E-R! I wonder if Jennifer Garner would star in the new show… Anyway, anything J.J. makes is great, so everybody should watch that show!

      62

      Psh, I'll watch it for sure! Alias was amazing… BEST show EVER.
      JJ is a genius.

      Hollyweird has no original ideas. It's about getting the $$$ fast! And this douche gets madd credit for when his films and TV trash, fails and succeeds. There should be show about reality TV called "Scripted Reality". I say this because until you shoot a mofo on TV, until you overdose, set someone on fire, run someone over 3 times with a Bentley, until someone is stabbed, someone commits suicide, or until someone really acts, that ish is Hollyweird scripted. Those shows will never do any of the things that I mentioned and that's a reality.

      I've loved every show JJ Abrams has been involved in - so I'll tune in!
