I'll normally watch most crap created for television, but I tried to watch Fringe.
I ignored the fact that no one scientist could possibly have done work in that many fields. It's TV.
I accepted the fact that the actors are actually pretty good.

The writers need to be shot. And probably a few producers. What trash!

The premise is cute, but tipping your hand that it's the big bad corporation pulling the strings in the 3rd episode AND bringing back a dead love interest by the 4th episode. Were they trying to get cancelled?!
I will watch the last episode of the first season, but no more.

I tried watching. I'll admit I wasn't inclined to try too hard.

Mel and I have been watching it and as long as you suspend disbelief it is quite enjoyable. There weren't nearly as many ethical boundaries put in place on doctors running super-secret military research projects back in the 70's when the doctor dude was doing his research. That he remembers each and every aspect of them despite being institutionalized for a few decades does get me sometimes.

But it's a decent mix of x-files (conspiracy theories), lost (weirdness and political power plays), csi (tv science) and McGuyver (problem discovered during first half, race against time to find a way to solve it before the show ends) and some totally off-the-wall witty banter.

Other shows I'd recommend to people: Californication, Lost, Dexter, Big Love

I watch Lost, Dexter and Big Love, just for some reason, the writing for this show (the story arc, not the actual dialogue) is just killing me
