I am convinced that almost no one really watches network shows anymore since they are all so formulaic and bland. The closest thing to Fringe in the last 10 years is Blacklist.....and it isn't even close to as weird, tense, and just plain watchable. Also, every twist can be seen from a mile away and nothing is realistic. The closest thing to House is the show with the autistic doctor. The closest thing to NYPD Blues is Chicago PD. See where I'm going? Network TV has abandoned any chance at being racy, boundary pushing, or innovative because the cable and premium TV shows are no holds barred.
