I never watched the X Files. By the time I got hip, they were in the middle of the "gross season" as my friend called it. I saw two eps and said "no thanks", despite many attempts to convince me otherwise. I did see a couple of eps randomly (like the one with the crazy suburban monster from the HomeOwner's Association)
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
My favorite episodes were often the fun ones: "Jose Chung", "Post-Modern Prometheus", "Bad Blood", "X-Cops", "Arcadia".

SciFi just aired the "Bad Blood" episode with the Rashomon treatment of Mulder & Scully's investigation of vampire killings in Texas, and reminded me why it used to be appointment telivision for me.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
"Jose Chung", "Bad Blood" and "Small Potatoes" were my three favorite flat-out funny episodes.
"Last Repose of Clyde Bruckman" is probabaly my favorite of all time, though.
And I always had a soft spot for the tattoo episode because they got Jodie Frigging Foster to do the voice of an evil tattoo.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
It is easy to forget what a great show it was with those terrible later seasons. We did a complete rewatch of the series not too long ago. About the only redeeming quality of the later seasons was admiring Scully. Holy grail of TV women right there.

Comcast couldn't find it when I searched, weirdly enough. It only picked up the re-airing of the original miniseries. I had to go directly to the listings to set the recording.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I remember the original V as being at best cheese-tastic, mainly due to the eyecandy factor. Stupid writing, stupid characters, et cetera.
(But I would have said the same thing about Battlestar Galactica, so I'm open to being pleasantly surprised.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It comes on at the same time as so much else! But it's really beyond time for me to give up on 90210. It's so crap, but I keep FFing through and looking anyway.
Consuela linked to a hug picspam on LJ from SG1 that inspired the most nostalgia in me. Man, I need to rewatch. I miss me some vintage Jack. Love him. It occurs to me that that's what Tony on NCIS could stand to be a bit more like, if they want kidding around and competent, even though they wrote him inconsistently for a laugh too, in the end.
