The X-Files took the throne as the zeitgeist of the 90s! A show emerging from pop culture's growing mistrust of the government, obsession with modern folklore, and the new but ever expanding frontier of the internet. The X-files enjoyed both great success and dismal failure. The twisting and turning under-current of its own rich evolving mythology of government conspiracies and alien colonization turned away average viewers that were hungry to enjoy the more stand alone "monster of the week" episodes. The show started to fizzle out as long running show headliners, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson both took various leaves of absence from the show and the continuity heavy plot themes strangled the make-shift replacement cast. Still, the show has some amazing stand out episodes that ABSOLUTELY stand the test of time! If you're hungry for Cryptozoology, Vampires, Aliens, Ghosts, and other unspeakable horrors, know that THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!

Season 8. A nice change adding Robert Patrick in for Mulder.

love it

One of the best shows ever

this is one of the best series ever. outstanding writing, directing and acting lexcept for that last season, yikes!)

"The X-Files" shouldn't have worked. It was a show on a network that is now notorious for cancelling sci-fi shows. When it premired it was on a friday night. It had two relatively unknown lead actors. For all accounts this should have ended after its first season. Yet "The X-Files" lasted nine seasons. Created some of the most interesting villians from FBI mole Krycek, to The Ciggerate Smoking Man. The show was at its best when it was either really scary like in "Home", or really silly like in "Jose Chung's From Outer Space". It made conspiracsy theorists heroes, and said all those urban legends that are looked at as phony, really do exist, if you take the time to look for them.

This show is fabulous I never get tired of it :)

i like the episodes that don't follow the running storyline....

this show used to scare the crap outta me when i was younger

Season 1 was alright, good enough to keep going. Season 2 I actually quite watching when it was on the air. Season 3 is where it started to get good. Seasons 4-6 were awesome. Seasons 7-8 had moments of genius mixed with all the alien-government stuff I seriously disliked. Season 9 went full on government cover-up story line that I really did not like in the show. I preferred all the one-off monster of the week shows much more. Anderson and Duchovny do have an amazing on screen partnership and I have to say I was happy when they ended the series together.

I'm finally getting around to watching seasons 1 and 2 of this show that I bought a few years ago. I haven't seen season 1 since it aired and I forgot how good it was. That episode "Ice" where Mulder and Scully are trapped in the arctic with a team of investigators is creepy as hell. No wonder this show fascinated me so much when I was a kid.

Classico!

I loved this show when it was on TV and I still love it!
Got the first two seasons for my bday and spent the weekend watching the 1st season. I didn't remember most of the episodes however I still enjoyed them all.

The first show that I really watched and loved! Best show ever(:

so awsome!

This, in my opinion, is the greatest Sci-Fi show of all time! Yes, better than Star Trek (all of them), even better than Stargate. It was the perfect blend of drama with "real-life" unexplained phenomena. The duo of Scully and Mulder made the show was it was and still is. I have watched it through from episode 1 to the last twice and want to watch it once again!

Excellent example of character development over the course of a series while maintaining the essence and integrity of of the characters and the series as a whole. Simply a staple of sci-fi television.

Love this show. Brilliant ongoing story and both Mulder and Scully are awesome. Am currently watching the DVD boxset :D

Always been a Fan since the beginning.

Love me some x-files. Never boring

Loved this show.

This show was great. The movies didn't live up to the tv series though.
