It makes me sad as to how much time has gone by.
This show was such a huge part of my teen years. It was also the official start to the weekend. After X-files, where I lived, Deep Space 9 came on right after. Then if it was a clear night, I went right outside with my telescope until the early morning. So much fun!
It may be time to fire up the first episode this Friday to live that time again.
I believe you are correct.
Yep. 20 years have gone by quickly...
Sure, rub it in. We’re getting old.
Ooops. My #25 was meant to be a reply to you...
I own all 9 seasons on dvd. It's my favorite show ever...which I know doesn't make it the "best show ever," but I think a good case can be made for putting it in the tope five or ten.
Should have known this was you;-)
Dana sure made it easy to watch....meow ;)
Running out of plot lines caught up with it however, kind of what happened to "24" also.
I agree with the overall story arc, and yet some of the very best singular episodes were in the final seasons. The episode with Burt Reynolds as God was a near perfect X-Files episode, and the show where Doggett gets closure on his son's death was especially powerful.
She’s something else...man oh man.
Cigarette Smoking Man, classic villain at his best, the grand manipulator.
Thanks for the ping. I recently checked out “The Lone Gunmen” series from the library. It was good even better than most Xfiles episodes.
I also checked out the entire Xfiles series and only watched the x-files ‘mythology’ episodes. That made it watchable, whereas the stupid monster-of-the-week episodes were what made me NOT watch it originally...
Yes...the cigarette smoking man was one of the best TV Villains ever.
I might have to watch the series. It will be a lot given that I’ve never watched a single episode.
Start at the beginning and don’t jump around. It’s that tightly written, and the characters grow and develop so it will seem disjointed if you watch episodes out of sequence.
Haha, That’s ‘Home, Pa” or something like that.
I know someone who got a job delivering phonebooks while they were in a nearby college, one of placed they had to go was ‘Home’ Pa. They said it was pretty rough.

I grew up 8 miles south of Home, PA. Loved Sheriff Andy Griffith in that episode :-)
