BTW, thanks to io9 and this article, I made a connection between title music: Was the Fringe Theme strongly influenced by Night Stalker?

I believe the line is usually, "Did I stutter?"

I don't recall what shows X-Files was deemed to have copied heavily (aside from strong influences like Kolchak: The Night Stalker) but it's left such a heavy footprint that so many paranormal shows since that time have a hard time emerging from its shadow - Fringe, as we've seen from the last few episodes before it returns in some weeks, is among them.

One way to deal with this - not an option for serious shows - is to be self-referential and out-loud aware of those prior sources. Stargate SG-1 did an excellent job of this by poking fun at Star Trek (and within the Stargate universe, Star Trek is a fictional show).

@Torley: The clip shows attempted humor so I expect a reference to the Indiana Jones warehouse in the first episode. I don't think this show can work if it takes itself too seriously. It will probably be along the lines of Special Unit 2.

@Ghost_in_the_Machine: Great point. And I haven't heard "Special Unit 2" in a long time!

McClintock looks like David Boreanaz's younger brother, kind of like Stephen to Adam Baldwin.

Nothing in that preview to pique my interest, though.

@Doug Nelson: funny you write that. He played either a cop or FBI agent on a few episodes of 'Bones'. The character was also a love intererest for the Temperance Brennen character. A lot of people thought he was cast because of his resemblence to Mr. Boreanaz.

@WrightTabalisha: He kind of looks like a cross between Boreanaz and Sam from Supernatural.

I know the whole "warehouse full of secret stuff" is a widely-used idea, but the name and writeup strongly resembles Steve Jackson Games's Warehouse 23 (published in 1999). Apparently there was some legal action against the show on the part of SJ Games around a year ago, but I haven't seen any follow-ups; anyone else have their ear closer to the ground?

@rwald:

Yup, I own the Warehouse 23 sourcebook as well. It's a lot of fun to read, even if you don't play GURPS.
