Fringe!!!I've been stung with the Fringe mania.
Why? Because it's strange and stirs a lot of interesting indirect relation with Lost. Though I'm not a fan of the latter, I might consider downloading some seasons from Lost and see how their plot coincide.
Here are some little facts that I've researched from the Net:
Lance Reddick as Special Agent Philip Broyles (Fringe) / as Matthew Abaddon - who claimed to be an attorney for Oceanic Airlines when Hurley returned to the Santa Rosa Mental Health Institution in Lost's fourth season premiere.
He reappered during the second and eleventh episode of the same season and of the seventh episode of fifth season as the same character, Matthew Abaddon.
Source: Wikipedia. Oceanic Airlines - The mystycal airlines that got the whole crew into the mystical island of Lost and reappeared in Fringe's pilot and ninth episode.
Other factors why we watch Fringe? Easter Egg Hunting!!! - What do you mean by that? Fringe has a way to lure it's viewers from rechecking their TiVo's previous episode for some mysterious clues.
First, Fringe has the Observer. He's like to that Waldo character that you look for each and every episode except that this guy is an eerie bald version of him from the planet or dimension that we'll have to know in the future Fringe episodes. Next, is the "Next episode Clue", where you'll have to familiarize yourself with the smallest details and come back from the previous episode what's common among them. Lastly, is the Fringe glyphs. This I'll have to investigate more.

So there you are and we're not even talking of the main character yet.
