Kathy"
I enjoyed it too - I caught the internet feed of the young boy with the weird and deadly issues of his affliction, and injoyed the ex-FBI character. (lots of shows are offering us a brilliant lead character, House, Life, etc) so we see shows that depend on a single character but give FRINGE on Fox a try, tonight is the night it is on, but get all 4 episodes they've had so far there. Each has developed the other characters, has a strong female lead and it follows in the feel of shows like the 4400 where ALTHOUGH in a difinite order, they don't depend on previous episodes to fill this weeks show. The characters are unique and strong and a female lead character is good to see in a strong show like this - I think Fringe will be around a few seasons, its really good. Not to forget it deals with everything from the occult to ufos to special powers, there is something for everyone here!

i recorded fringe while i was gone. it's on my list of shows to watch this week. i felt that sanctuary kind of started in the middle of the story, but am expecting back story as it goes on. this seems to be the way shows go these days, and it can be interesting.

Got a link?
I found out by accident that "Eleventh Hour" is a remake. I watched four episodes of "The Eleventh Hour" on the BBC channel. Patrick Stewart played the main character.

About Fridge, I really enjoy it, the character Walter is amazing and makes the show worth watching. Most all my TV is now from online - I'll catch up with 2 or 3 weeks at once on my terms About Heroes, it is very complicated this season, prestent, 400 years a go, last week, in 2012 - they are just all over the place, and I have issues with good and bad players interacting, like Peter Patrelli. But all said, it is a good year for TV. About 24, it is only a 2 hour movie with Keefier Southerland in it, any news on the series - I assume Rick Shroeder is now the new Jack Bauer? |

the two hour opener on 24 is a prequel to catch us up. no word on the season story line, but there is a season planned. no real word on characters either.
