Fox, the death of potentially good shows

So I was all excited about the new show Fringe, I had seen previews for it, and it looked really interesting and it is by the same person who did Lost, and I love Lost. But I did have some concerns about the fact that it was on Fox. I know I love House, and House is on Fox, (somehow they got that one right) but as a general rule, it seems that Fox has a way of taking a good premisis and runining it.

There have been several shows which looked interesting, but made me cringe when I discovered they were on Fox and than when I went to acutally watch them, well my interest never lasted long. Prison Break I tried watching, but could not get very far into. There was one show about some sort of illegal car race. Driven I think it was called, that I tried watching but could not get into. And I am sure there have been others over time. but other than House, I do not think there is any show on Fox I have ever stuck with.

So I go to watch Fringe, and it seemed that my fears were not unfounded. The season premiere of the show could not even hold my interest from beginning to end, and I have already decided I do not think I really want to keep watching it. Though for lack of anything else on after House, I am likely to just let it play in the background.
