I'm curious as to why Fox picked this show up and not ABC. Abrams has already had two highly successful shows on ABC (Alias and Lost). I wonder if Abrams decided to only pitch it to Fox or what?

I thought that the other day, maybe he feels that Fox is gonna be a better network for it.

From the original post,

FOX won a bidding war for "Fringe" back in early October, giving a series commitment to the science fiction-inflected thriller and signing on for an ambitious pilot budget in the $10 million range, according to the industry trade papers.

I think that's why...

Abrams' TV 'Fringe' gets comic book prequel

The hip media empire of J.J. Abrams (Alias, Lost, Cloverfield, the next Star Trek film) expands into comic books this fall when DC Comics offers a prequel to his upcoming TV series on Fox, Fringe. Writers and artists are being decided, but DC says the comic version will hit the stands on Aug. 27, two weeks before the two-hour premiere airs on Sept. 9.

Speculation about the show is building at online fan sites amid word that the opener involves paranormal investigators looking into the mysterious landing of a jetliner with dead passengers. Sounds like a certain island, but the producers say the show will feature self-contained stories, ? la Twilight Zone or X-Files, rather than one fantastic saga. Abrams is joined as executive producers on the project by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, who also are working on the Star Trek reboot film expected in 2009.

Most the shows who have their pilots leak last year got cancelled, its a sad fact :(
I happen to have "acquired" said pilot and just finished watching it - they better not cancel this show! The pilot is really really promising - to be honest, it's the best Abrams has done if you ask me.

I won't spoil anything here, but the pseudo-science in the pilot is just awesome and I'm really a big fan of that, so for me that's really great news. Also the suspense and everything is just spot on. If you ask me, this show is better that all those shows last year which got cancelled (Jericho etc.).

Well - at a certain point Lost lost my interest, because I thought - and, admittedly, wanted the series to head in another direction. I Wasn't pleased with the way it was going, so I stopped watching ^^;

You stopped watching waay to early to know which direction they're going. It's still not even clear what direction they're going in, that's the beauty of the series. :p

      Isn’t it so sweet Microsoft after so many years of neglect, they admit to these issues in Windows lately? Doesn’t this just make you wanna run out and meet them halfway to give them a warm hug only? Just gives us this warm fuzzy feeling thinking about it. /s

      Anybody that thinks flying cars were possible are idiots. Everyone would basically need a pilot licence, can you imagine how insane and dangerous that would be, people can barely handle driving on land safely right now.
