The X-Files

I think this is an interesting show but it is also a bland show in many ways. A vast conspiracy is featured involving a deal some wealthy men made with some aliens (??!!) which somehow makes sense in the context of the show...in the meantime Mulder & Scully encounter all manner of unexplained phenomina-all tied to crime in some way. Different. There was never any theories aired about what could be a reason for all the unexplained phenominons except the alien conspiracy-which is not connected to all the unexplained things...Cool. Real Junior G-men stuff. I'm so cold. I did enjoy the chemistry that existed between M & S...but I often found S's skepticism in view of what she was experiencing to be strange. Well, 'tis gone now...right out into the sunset. I didn't like the sequel to the X-Files movie...really dull stuff in X-Files terms. The Lone Gunman was a good spin off but it didn't last for very long, unfortunately.moreless

Will we find ourselves watching any more of Mulder and Scully? I certainly hope so...

What can i say about The X-Files, other than it is the best experience i have ever had watching tv, and to this day,i still watch the whole show once a year,and i always seem to find new things in it. I was 23 when it began,so it took me on a journey i will never forget.

The production value of this show still holds up today,even though some of the effects might look dated compared to new shows,but the writing more than makes up for that.

I dont care about the nitpickers out there that say this show is merely mediocre, it wasnt,and isnt.

If you want a good time watching aliens,monsters and all manner of other "out-there" stuuff,x-files is the way to gomoreless

The X-Files to me is not merely the greatest sci-fi series or horror series. It's basically the top creme de la creme of television itself. Why I make that exclamation is simply because it fuses various genres - horror, conspiracy, the supernatural, and of course comedy - into one source of perpetual entertainment that seems to intrigue the viewer throughout its nine-seasoned history. But the show never let plots get above characters: indeed, the most beautiful thing about The X-Files lies in its ability to contort perception and character in a remarkable manner. To say in the least, it maintained a clever balance of reason (represented mainly by Scully) and openness (by Mulder) throughout its mainstream seasons (upto 7) that never did remain resolved, even after Scully herself encounters paranormal activities on various occassions.

Add to that the 'hidden pasts' of the various characters involved - including the ominous relationship between the Cigarette Smoking Man and Fox Mulder - and you have one wonderfully constructed mytharc that sears time and age. While other sci-fi series (such as Stargate) rely more on effect and expression for viewership, The X-Files always relied on impression and subtle hints to gain its critical popularity. It is a testament to its ovation that it remains, in every fan's view, the greatest series in television history, and not just limited to science fiction. And no amount of spin-off movies or comics or video games can erase that.moreless

The Simpsons is a show about a nuclear family residing in Springfield. Homer the father works at a nuclear power plant, Marge the mother is a housewife, Bart and Lisa go to Springfield Elementary and Maggie doesn't do anything. She's dead weight, like all babies. The show is really long, episode count speaking. I guess that's OK.
