Duh.
I like fringe. Watched the entire 2nd season. Want to finish, but I cannot decide whether they were paying homage or ripping it off.

I don't think there's a clear cut answer. The X-Files was an iconic show of it's era. It also was more government conpiracy than scifi which broadens it's appeal.
But the Fringe story arc was just so well crafted and executed. Time travel and resetting time lines often kills shows (see Heroes), but it was an integral part of Fringe. They also were able to have 2 fairly separate stories, alternate universes and time travel, both be seamlessly interwoven into the main story arc.

Monster of the week goes to X-files for the sheer amount. If they both went the same number of seasons it would be much more difficult for me to decide. Plus, I liked Scully and Mulder more than Peter and Olivia.
Main story line without a doubt goes to Fringe because the tie-in from the monster of the week episodes and the main story line was superior in just about every way. I was really disappointed with all the mystery and no finish on X-files.
Both are awesome and two of my favorite shows of all time.
