More Recycling on TV!
Filed under: TV News
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?

first, and i dont care!
No
third!
hell yes!
LOST is the shit!
and you should reaaaaaaaad what the pilot is about!!!!!!!!
J.J. definitely knows what he's doing
NOOOOO
I love most of his stuff - so I'll at least check it out.
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.
NO! Bring on Gossip Girl and 90210 Pt 2.
Yees i'll watch it, especially since i've heard that joshua jackson is starring in it:)
fuck yes i would
sanela, you don't care that you were second? I dont get it. This show sounds like it's going to suck
If it's anything like "Alias"–YES.
cloverfield sucked
and what is your original idea dumbass?
absolutley!!!!
Recycling is good for the environment.
If Kurt Russell and Patrick Dempsey had a baby…it would look like this guy!
Patrick Dempsey and Kurt Russell's love child turns fashion assasin?
HE LOOKS LIKE SPENCER PRATT older with darker features, but nonetheless
Id watch anything with JJ Abrams connected to it.
I loooove Lost and Alias and Heroes and I even kinda liked cloverfield
j.j. abrams is a creative genius… so i'm sure it will be nothing short of amazing. LOST is the best show on tv!
michele- weird- i didn't see your post- that is classic
I love him, but the show sounds terrible!
I love alias and i love the supernatural so hell yeah id watch this
If its anything like Alias… I'm there! as long as it has a killer cast
Hell yeah I would watch, Lost rocks! Sounds like a great idea!
Hey, it's Kurt Russell gone nerd!
The 2 hour pilot just wrapped in Toronto and starred Joshua Jackson.
Nooo thank you!
YES!!
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!
It's GREENLIT not GREENLIGHTED.
I am waiting on baited breath!!! can't wait!!!!!!
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.
Re: bonsoir –
i thought so too………fukking hilarious
Add in a touch of Veronica Mars based on the description
Josh Jackson back on TV…I'm there
He's starting to resemble Patrick Dempsey - or vice versa.
Hell yeah! I loved Alias!
Deffinetly sounds like something I would watch. I apparantly like bad shows though!
looks like an uglier mcdreamy
yes. but only because joshua jackson is going to be on it. mmmmmhmmmm
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.
I'll watch anything JJ Abrams does!!
"exploits of a young female agent who tackles unexplained medical and scientific phenomena."
sounds like a "HOUSE" type show… minus the 'agent' part
Will never be as good as X-Files, but I'll check it out.
yes….I would totally watch it.
Love medical and sci fi like stuff
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
hell yeah!
Yes it does, Perez
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!
xoxo
Will nevah be as good as the X-Files. Speak of, they have a movie coming out this summer. WIN!
Nothing will be as good as X-Files.
Definitely! I loved Alias and was sad to see it end!
with a nose like that abrams is a jew. no i wouldn't watch it
J.J. has a dick-nose. He's our generation's Karl Malden.
I thought Joshua Jackson was starring in this…
I will watch anything with "Pacey"in it besides Perez this is going to be killer, they are spending record amount of cash doing the pilot.
the x-files> any.show.ever (or that will ever be made!)
ill still watch
This was announced ages ago and filming has been going on for a couple of months. Sooo get up to date Perez. Can't wait to see Josh Jackson yewwww
I was an extra on an episode of this show! It's with "Pacey" from Dawson's Creek
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!
hell yea il watch this! i love this guy!
I'd watch anything JJ produced….he's the bomb
it is already on in canada and joshua jackson is in it…. i love him!
I live in Toronto and I saw them filming it a couple of months ago. I'm not gonna lie, looked pretty exciting. Rumors are Joshua Jackson is in it!
