I dunno. Its just me then I guess. I mean there are a lot of shows that win awards that dont actually have massive fan bases that will carry them forever. They just has solid fans.

For example GLEE wins awards all the time, but would you classify that as a superb show? My entire film making class (myself included) cant stand the show. (GLEE)

Im not saying Walking Dead is terrible, it had my interest for a while. To me it just seemed they tried too hard to impress people and personally I don't see it lasting a full season competing with other shows. Look at Terminator, fantastic show, but all the work and money made it impossible to compete.

I can't stand Glee either but I understand why it does as well as it does - it's simple and the demographic is the audience that grew up watching shows like High School Musical (they're all in and around the late middle school/early high school years now.

I really think Walking Dead is going to dominate again this year regardless of when it's on - but in reference to your comments about Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, that show was screwed by being bounced around by the idiots at Fox with their schedule shifting and long term hiatus' between new episodes and shitty promotion. The show was great and did an admirable job of bridging the movies.

I fear we'll see Fringe suffer the same fate this year given the new Friday Night Death Slot

You have to remeber Terminator was getting hate from FOX for being too expensive. Thus its marketing money went into show production, and producing something like that takes time. The way FOX wanted to air it didn't allow them to properly produce episodes. They should of been allowed to film and produce an entire season before the season even began.

FOX is absolutely terrible at keeping shows running and FRINGE will indeed suffer because of it. I know AMC is differnt and has more faith in The Walking Dead, I just don't personally think it will dominate. And if it does its just the second season, lets see if it can do it 3 times.
