The Walking Dead seemed to be very anticipated and had glowing reviews from people who had gotten a preview. Based on my wife's reaction to the pilot, I had a feeling it was going to be good. I'm actually not really into the genre myself, but I'll probably get to it at some point, because basically anything that's quality I'm going to be into.

I agree about the whole "replacing Charlie" thing on Fringe- that was a rough story line. I'll let you know how I feel about the Olivia stuff after I get more into season 3- I'm still on the finale of season 2, but I have a rough idea of what happens.

Fox did say when they moved Fringe to Thursdays (which is a slaughterhouse) they expected the ratings to dip and they were OK with that. Doesn't mean I feel good about the move, though.
