It’s the Upfronts?: Fringe on FOX

Posted by Dan May 23rd, 2008 at 11:24am In Uncategorized

It’s upfront season!

Unfortunately, the strike has effed everything up and it’s not really the same week-long parade of new programming we used to know. Maggie used to handle this beat, but I’ll handle it this weird year. However, now I’m adding a question mark to the “It’s the Upfronts” title because it all seemed very after-the-fact and unceremonious.

Instead of highlighting all the inevitably crappy programming that is bound to pop up, I’m going to spotlight some stuff that might actually be good. First stop: Fringe.

First of all, I think J.J. Abrams should buy me a pony. Between Alias, Lost, Felicity and that vomit-orious movie Cloverfield, he must be making enough money that he can buy me and every other red-blooded American boy a pony… on whose head I can superglue a cone and make into a unicorn.

The reason I say this is that Fringe is his ninety millionth new series. If I had Abrams cash, I’d dedicate a room in my house just to store my Judaica.

Fringe looks like it could be intriguing although I have my reservations.

  • They boast that it was done by the writers of Transformers.
  • There’s a high probability it might be in the distinctive JJ Abrams category of high concept, uneven payoff.

However, it does have some things working for it.

  • The always adorably apple-cheeked Joshua Jackson (who, by the way, has one of my favorite celebrity mug shots ever).
  • An obviously large budget.
  • A strong cast including that mysterious fellow who keeps popping up in flashbacks/flashforwards on Lost.

What do you think? Any other shows you’re looking forward to?

    You can add this to the plus column: The writers of Transformers were, before that, two of the writers of Alias. And good Alias writers, not season five who is this Rachel girl writers.

    How about Class Dismissed? Animated, but starring a handful of Arrested Development alumni including Will Arnett. Could be something…

    I’m just excited that Joe from Band of Brothers got work.
