FBI Special Agent Olivia Dunham runs into one of these occurrences when she investigates a plane crash.

She ends up recruiting Dr. Walter Bishop and his estranged son Peter to help them investigations. Joined by FBI Agents Phillip Broyles, Charlie Francis, and Astrid Farnsworth.

Fringe is one of, if not, the most anticipated news shows of the upcoming television season. With J.J. Abrams leading the project, the chances for success are highly likely since J.J.

My Thoughts
I think Fringe will be one of if not the best show of the 2008 season (Dollhouse is it’s main competition for the spot in my opinion). From the previews, Fringe looks like a great Sci-Fi thriller that should entertain anyone who likes Sci-Fi and probably everyone who likes dramas. I think with some time to grow Fringe could be one of the best shows on TV. I would be shocked it Fringe isn’t a great show. I just can’t wait until I can finally see the pilot. I know I can’t wait. Can You? Feel free to leave your thoughts on Fringe in the comment section of this post.
