7. FRINGE (Fox)
The best new show of the year took a few weeks to grow on me, but now it's a full-blown addiction. The tension between John Noble's mad scientist and Joshua Jackson as his mad, sarcastic son offers a fresh way to present long-unresolved parent-child conflict. Plus, I'm warming to the delightfully chilly Anna Torv, who serves as a worthy Scully to Noble and Jackson's combo Mulder. As for the running conspiracy involving the Pattern and its roots in the mysterious Massive Dynamic company—at first I scoffed, and now I'm happily freaked out by its genuine scariness.
