I am seriously crying right now with excitement joy and fulfillment with how good this show is.

JJ ABRAMs has one freaking brilliant mind.

With only two seasons left on LOST, I was like darn! no show left.. but here comes FRINGE.

I’m gonna say it now. Fringe will be LOST big.

They will for sure milk the X Files-ness of this series for what it’s worth.

I have great expectations with the audience target as well. I am more than certain X Files fans are jumping on board.

I have to admit, I downloaded it. It’s the only pilot leaked so far this season that I have. And it was worth it. Very worth it. I got the same feeling about this that I did when I downloaded the pilot for House.

I like getting the chance to download the new fall shows during the summer. Besides there being nothing else on TV right now, it’s a chance to weed out the shows that aren’t that great before the new season. I already have a bunch of shows I watch, so I can’t watch all the new ones when they premiere too.

I was psyched about Pushing Daisies all last summer and made sure I watched when it began airing on TV.

I clicked on the leaked to watch it and nothing happens. Is their another link where I can watch the show since I am anxious to see it ahead of time. Too long to wait till September (I believe that is when it starts).

Fortunately, I didn’t have to download it… as I managed to snag a DVD copy of the pilot the day after the Upfronts. As much as I loved the pilot, I would advise AGAINST downloading it as it looks far better on a television than it would on a laptop display.

Still, I’ve seen it about three times now and can’t get enough, so obviously they’re doing something right!

Yah, I think at this point it’s all about the pimping and getting the know how before all your friends (and as the TV addict and friends who are all TV addicts, I’m assuming we are all the people others come to for TV advice)…

that being said, I have it but haven’t seen it yet. I’m TRYING to hold off too but I think I’m going to cave as soon as Im back from vaca.

I don’t know if I would have stuck around for Pushing Daisies when it first premiered if I had not downloaded it first. I think seeing Fringe beforehand will give me the head start and allow me to pimp the show to everyone I know.

In the summer of 2007 I was basically a walking ad for Pushing Daisies.

Gowan, who do you think is leaking it? The networks leak the pilots and they get buzz all summer long and then open to better ratings. Its free marketing.

There are usually so many new shows out in the Fall (not this year because of the strike) that it’s nice to get a sneak peak. That way I can better plan what to watch and what to skip. But I understand too why you’d want to wait and build the anticipation. I just don’t have the will power.
