Fringe

A friend of mine wanted me to check out Fringe, so I wasted an hour of my life on it.  I can hear the pitch meeting in my head:

Producer:  You're gonna love this.  We wanna make the X Files, crossed with CSI.  Whaddaya think?

Studio Exec:  Hmmmm... sounds good.  I tell ya what though; we're looking for another House character.  You know, a druggie genius.  Think you can write one in?

The rest is TV fail history.

Or is it just me.

Nobody knows what you mean, or nobody's interested; that's the point.
