The two main characters weren't even incredible stars. What's the hold up?
The truth might be out there, but another good sci-fi investigative show certainly isn't.

House is way more implausible. There's more of a chance of alien/government conspiracy than there is of an MD like House not being in prison for life.

the only things I remember from it were a scene in some woods with some kind of thing out there and them trying to figure out what it was, and then mulder and scully in some kind of alien? city or osmethne. I think the second one might have been from the movie?
Oh wait, then there was the one with them in the hotel at some kind of meeting where people were getting hit with some kind of drug and forgetting stuff?

Agreed. I really think The X-Files would have been unanimously considered the best horror/drama show of the 1990s if not for such a slow plot build.
But then again, that's what made it great. If you've seen every episode and have half a brain (and some concentration) I doubt you'd argue with me when I say that it's one of the greatest television shows ever made.

I haven't watched any of Fringe, specifically because everyone says it trails off for some seasons. Even the hardcore fans tend to admit what's lacking.
The X-files had a cast who perfected their roles, great writing, and a perfect vision of that writing. I think it was just a one in a million combination.

I am a huge X-phile, got all the seasons, and I have to add my voice to the others that it was just a once in a lifetime thing. All the pretenders that had tried to follow it have been disappointments. Lately I feel like the sci-fi/fantasy regular television zen has been channeled a bit too much toward the urban fantasy (the latest of which is like Grimm, which I like) rather than sci-fi.

The first and foremost problem is that apparently a great deal of the population is satisfied with watching the Kardashians and other braindead shows.
Those shows that venture out of idiotic reality topics, I think, are way too targeted to what they think a certain audience will like. The thing about the X-files is they covered a non-braindead genre with virtually no studies or expectations and just went on the content's own merit.
Now? Who could hope during a time when crappy shows get made and extended, while good shows (as rarely as there are any) get canceled and screwed around with to ensure cancel-worthy lowered ratings. Sure there are some, but the medium sucks.
But this will all change when dinosaurs die and the internet becomes the direct line for all media and data purposes. When that happens, connection is your access and content creators are your market to shop in. TV and internet will flow with no distinction, as they shouldn't now. Right now, when 90+% of internet ready people pirate stuff, the consumers live ahead of the innovators. It is quite simply and quite inevitably the time for old dinosaurs to die and new innovators to arise.

Warehouse 13 is a modern twist on the 'Friday The 13th' TV series.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092357/
As achingly slow-building as The X-Files was, it served it's purpose. It was like Fringe is now. Set characters, with arcing storyline, some stand-alone episodes, but always coming back to the bigger picture. Fringe is just doing it faster.

I'm ashamed to say I've never seen an episode in my life, and after hearing about inbreeding hillbillies I've started to regret it.
the peacocks one of the scariest episodes ever seen on tv. Actually banned in some places .
Did a search on the episode and came up with this:
Due to its graphic nature, "Home" became the first of two X-Files episodes to receive a viewer discretion
Season 4 Episode 2
Original air date: October 11, 1996
The episode was inspired by a tale in Charlie Chaplin's autobiography, about the time he stayed at a tenement home while touring in a British musical theatre
wow didnt know that
"Home" marked the return of writers James Wong and Glen Morgan, who had left after the second season to create Space: Above and Beyond. After returning to the series, the duo decided to write a shocking story to "start off with a bang".[2] The episode was inspired by a tale in Charlie Chaplin's autobiography, about the time he stayed at a tenement home while touring in a British musical theatre.[3] After dinner, the family took him upstairs to meet their son - and pulled him out from under a bed.[3] The son had no arms and legs and flopped around while they sang and danced.[3] Glen Morgan read the story and decided to use the incident,[3] though he also suggested for Darin to use it in one of his scripts, "Humbug".[2] James Wong came up with the idea to change the son to a mother.[3] The name Peacock came from former neighbors of Morgan's parents.[1] Sources consulted by the writers for the episode included the documentary Brother's Keeper - suggested by actress Kristen Cloke - and books about nature and evolution.[2]

actually I always counted that as being one of the best parts of the show... you might get some alien conspiracy but then you might get an awesome monstery kind of episode too.
Eugene Tooms was one of the best
edit:
Trivia
Doug Hutchison is one of the two actors that played the character of Tooms, a liver eating mutant, in the episodes "Squeeze" and "Tooms". Hutchinson is actually a vegetarian, or was at the time. After filming "Tooms" he sent the liver of an animal to Chris Carter as a thank you for the opportunity to play a character on "The X-Files"

Around the same time X-Files was big, there was a similar show on Nickelodeon intended for kids called Eerie, Indiana. It was about strange happenings and stuff in a town called Eerie.
I watched that instead, I think was too young back then for the X-Files.

Yep, that was it. Eerie was part of the Nick at Nite lineup along with shows like Are You Afraid Of The Dark, a darker more creepy lineup intended for teenagers.
That show was actually pretty creepy back then, even though that video doesn't show it.
Man if they had a dark creepy lineup on Nickelodeon these days, Christians would call it satanic and would be up in arms probably...

May have to watch it. It's been on the list 'to watch' for awhile. Just never really got around to doing it.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness,
starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the streets,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection
to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night.
