Fringe. Started as a clone of the X-Files, then devolved into the most random, convoluted alternate universe and time travel madness. One should have seen that coming:

Created by J. J. Abrams Alex Kurtzman Roberto Orci

Hard disagree - started as a clone of the X-Files and then evolved into having an actual plot and interesting character development. Totally whacky though but I loved it.

I will agree that I like fringe. never thought of it as a clone of the x-files though.

gross, dint know abrams and kurtzman was involved, i can see what they did with NUTREK , so it made sense. STD, SNW, PICARD at covoluted plots til the end of the season, which turns out to be a letdown. actual star trek wasnt written that way.
