Cain't disagree with yuh there. Another Sci-Fi show that FOX screwed up is Sliders (with Jerry O'Connell and John Rhys-Davies); I been watchin' it on HULU a little while, and it seems pretty good. That's more straight-up Sci Fi though.

I wish I could. However it's gotten to the point in my relationship with the network as a viewer that I really have no faith in Fox. They've cancelled a lot of shows I liked (Firefly, Andy Richter Controls The Universe, Keen Eddie, Arrested Development, The Tick, John Doe, Wonderfalls, Drive, Terminator). They've handled quite a few of those cancelled shows so horribly so that they never had a decent chance to establish themselves. Plus, there were various other shows that they kept pushing way past their prime or forcing change upon (Prison Break for the first part, Dollhouse and countless others for the latter), which just killed the franchises for me. And let's not even get started on the reality and shows that are often so out there and offensive I cringe at the commercials.
Why risk the heartache? I had a chance to see Human Target awhile back before it aired and I passed it up because I don't want to get sucked into some show with potential, only to have it be ripped away. Glee is the only piece of new programming I'm investing in because my extreme love of dark humor, satire and broadway overrides everything. Other than that I'm going to be giving Dollhouse a second chance (That was a huge letdown, but Epitaph One renewed my hope) and occasionally watching House which just doesn't engage me like it used to.
The rest of my viewing time will be spent around shows on NBC and ABC, cable scripted shows and web series.

**And what the F%$! is up with their new slogan? SO FOX? Like, So Fabulous? Did they have a fifteen year old come up with that or just a bunch of middle aged guys in advertising who were told to 'be hip'?

Well, to be fair, the screwing up on Sliders started with the writers (which is why Rhys-Davies left --he felt the audience's intelligence was being insulted).
(Which is just one of the reasons why John Rhys-Davies is Awesome.)

Yeah, I remember that show, it was pretty cool in the beginning, though I started to lose intrest when the characters started changing.

Yes I'm starting to see that in Season 3 on HULU. Dosh-Garn you FOX!

OMG!, "Altered States" thats been done before. j/k j/k, don't flame me.
Fringe falls under "If it's good, I'll watch it." category and I do. One of only three shows I watch.

Actually , "Altered States" is one of the inspirations that the creators of FRINGE acknowledge , along with more obvious things like X-Files...
Even after only 1 season , I think FRINGE is better than X-Files , and look forward to where it goes...
