Throughout my life I have never been a big fan of watching TV series. This excludes me sitting in front of a television set 24/7 from age 0-13 because of the adventures of characters such as He-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and X-Men.
I have never really "followed" a serious television series. I literally forced myself to diligently watch Survivor: Australian Outback way back in 2001, but that's about it.
Last year I got my first complete season of, well, anything and it came in the form of 30Rock's first season. It made sense to watch a story from start to finish, although 324 minutes of my life would go to waste just like that.
From 30Rock I moved on to Family Guy and watched the whole series, not just a singular season. I could feel I was starting to become fit with the concept.
But the real reason why I am writing is the glorious treasure that is the series called Fringe. It's been getting a lot of hype, both positive and negative, and it's the brainchild of JJ Abrams (Lost, Alias) and it's scripted by the guys wrote the two Transformers movies.
It's like a hybrid of CSI and The X-Files, and has cryptic clues lying around the credits, subtle pieces of dialogue and even in the marketing campaigns. I am in love with this series.
