I really want a Dean of my very own.
Get in line, babe.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Get in line, babe.
So true. And somehow I picture this making Dean very happy.
So in my X-files watch, they had a Tall Tales episode which was told from Scully and then Mulder's point of view. When Scully was telling the story, the local sheriff was Luke Wilson being very charming. When Mulder told it, Luke was wearing joke teeth and talking like a hillbilly. Now I am wondering if Kim Manners was directing our Tall Tales episode. Have to check.
Oh! and David Duchovney mumbles so I can't be sure, but I think he pronounced it Sam Hain as well. I just saw baby Ash on x-files as an angsty teen, and he ran through the orchard of "Scarecrow".
If x-files isn't the mother of Supernatural, it's definitely an ancestor.

I think Kim Manners probably had a lot of influence over the show as it grew, yeah, especially style and tone. And I would be surprised if Kripke didn't draw from it a little bit, storywise.

I think I read that a lot of the crew had come over too. So it makes sense that it has such a similar look and feel.

Absolutely. It's amazing how similar the shows can feel, even though one is based in a very white collar, working (to a degree) within the system world, and the other is definitely more blue-collar and outlaw.

I feel like The X-Files was one of the first shows to stretch a little, style-wise, and they kept experimenting with format and tone until nearly the end. (I could also be wrong, of course.)
But when we got Tall Tales and Monster Movie, especially, I thought we owed to The X-Files. And I know Sam and Dean mention Mulder and Scully more than once, too.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think we were three episodes into Supernatural when I told D, "you know why this show is better than the X Files? Because the good guys figure most everything out and kill the monster by the end of almost every episode." Sometimes I miss the moster of the week. But I'm very glad we have Cas.

Then there was also Jose Chung's From Outer Space. I could see that as having influenced some of the more meta episodes, or things like Ghostfacers.
I will say, for all that it has occasionally elicited a buh? from me, SPN's mytharc has at least been largely coherent and focused.
