I would like to revisit it as an adult and see if I enjoy it as much as I used to.

I didn't watch any TV in the 90's. When I wasn't working or studying, I was being social. I finally caught the X-files on Comet TV sometime in December. The first episode I ever saw was in season 6, so I had to go back and watch them all. Thanks to Hulu, I have. <br />The conspiracy theories were easy to speculate about, since we did not have a lot of access to instant information, like we do nowadays. It is interesting for me, knowing what we know now about UAPs (formerly UFOs) from actual government coverups about possible extraterrestrial life, seeing the episodes for the first time -- Chris Carter and the other writers had a lot of great theories and insight about a lot of cool things. I think I appreciate the writing, the mystery now more than I would have when I was in my early 20's.Lori Brannanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09214724705995847681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-45728034994693928012022-04-28T20:27:32.268-05:002022-04-28T20:27:32.268-05:00X-Files was not a show I watched much or cared abo...X-Files was not a show I watched much or cared about at all, but I do have fond memories of Kolchak. Certainly valid to credit early Fox with having a disproportionate impact on modern television, though. Not just X-Files, but Married With Children and the Simpsons (by way of the Tracey Ullman Show). Their fingerprints (I'm tempted to say "taint") is all over modern television.

That said, I skipped all the mythos episodes, which does make it a slightly different show. One of the interesting side-effects of streaming, I suppose. Also love the Kolchak shout, that show is tops.doccarnbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13406919373469437352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-29587256119182234572022-04-28T14:29:38.731-05:002022-04-28T14:29:38.731-05:00I was never an X-Files follower.

I watched the show a few times and it wasn't bad, but just didn't interest me that much.<br /><br />My wife and I watched <i>JFK</i> the other night for the first time. I enjoyed it. I thought I had seen it already, but if I did, I sure didn't remember any of it. However, I've heard the conspiracies elsewhere.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-82415653808951916332022-04-28T14:18:27.409-05:002022-04-28T14:18:27.409-05:00The movie JFK only set up the paranoia of the 90s,...The movie JFK only set up the paranoia of the 90s, the conspiracy theory began soon after Kennedy was shot in 1963.Timothy S.

Let me rephrase my question: did it take a movie for people to start asking questions about what really happened and who was behind the attack?Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06945984135731336978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-89387114978940071002022-04-28T13:42:43.270-05:002022-04-28T13:42:43.270-05:00I've only watched a few episodes of The X-File...I've only watched a few episodes of The X-Files. Just never got around to watching it but then I don't think it was really streaming for a while anywhere I could watch it. Maybe it is now.<br /><br />A point of order: Really Married With Children was the first live action hit for the fledgling Fox network. It ran for 11 seasons from like 1985-1996; ironically it was The X-Files that took its primetime spot on Sundays.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.com
