Yesterday’s Congressional hearing about UAP’s and the shocking testimonies said on it is a proof The X Files themes are ever more relevant today and we sorely need it back.

It was never great the way the show ended and 10 and 11 never hit the mark. Some things in 11 were just bizarre. We are living through the X-Files right now.

The X-Files Forever
The X-Files: 32 Years, 32 Facts & Achievements 🎉
On September 10, 1993 The X-Files aired for the very first time. Here are thirty-two facts and achievements in honor of the show and the franchise.
• It premiered on the American channel FOX on a Friday night, after The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. and followed by local programming.
• Its main inspirations were the series Kolchak: the Night Stalker, a political scandal, and a report about alleged alien abductions.
• The Mulder–Scully dynamic was designed to reverse typical gender stereotypes: he as the believer and she as the skeptic.
• The pilot episode was supposed to be filmed in Los Angeles, but production was moved to Vancouver, Canada to capture the intended dark aesthetic. The show remained in Vancouver for the first five seasons before shifting its production in the sixth season to the originally planned location of Los Angeles.
• It is FOX network’s longest-running sci-fi series and notably its most successful drama series.
• It directly contributed to make sci-fi, and genre storytelling as a whole, more mainstream.
• It popularized the dual structure of single-case episodes and story arcs, influencing other shows with the same format.
• Episode taglines are a popular aspect, with "The Truth Is Out There" being the most prominent and recognizable among them. Occasionally, the main tagline is replaced with alternate, themathically-relevant ones like "Trust No One".
• Its passionate fandom pioneered online fan culture in the 1990s: countless discussions, massive fan-fiction archives, terms like mytharc (the set of mythology-based story arcs) or MOTW (monster of the week), and formal shipping (relationshippers or simply shippers who wanted Mulder and Scully romantically involved).
• In 1994, its opening title sequence won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Graphic Design and Title Sequences.
• In 1996, it became the first sci-fi series since The Twilight Zone in the 1960s to win – with "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" [Season 3] – the Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing – Drama, joining an elite club of genre shows that have done so.
• The CD single release of The X-Files Theme became a commercial success, peaking at number 1 in France, and within the top 10 in Germany, the United Kingdom and other countries. Dance remixes, such as the DJ Dado and Triple X versions, were also chart hits.
• It won the prestigious Peabody Award for Excellence in Entertainment Broadcasting.
• Starting with "Unruhe" [Season 4], the series moved from Friday night to Sunday night, becoming the flagship drama of the FOX network.
• "Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man" [Season 4] is the only episode in the entire series to not exactly feature any of the two main characters, Mulder and Scully – the former does not make a physical appearance and the latter appears only in archival footage.
• Its most-watched episode is "Leonard Betts" [Season 4] – the first and top-viewed Super Bowl lead-out program on the FOX network. The episode averaged 29.1 million viewers in the United States (original broadcast).
• Season 4 is the best-reviewed installment, earning a 100% approval rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
• In the United States, Season 5 is the most-watched installment with an average of 19.8 million viewers (original broadcast).
• It shares the record for most wins (3) in the Best Drama Series category of the Golden Globes – the only genre show to win more than once.
• The X-Files: Fight the Future film succeeded at the box office, opening at number 1 in the United States and the United Kingdom.
• Toward the end of the 1990s, it was the most lucrative show on American television (Fortune magazine, 1998).
• It crossed over with other shows such as The Simpsons, Millennium, and Cops.
• In 2001, during its eighth season, it spawned The Lone Gunmen spin-off series.
• It was the highest-ranked genre show (3rd overall) in a survey of entertainment-industry members that included many actors, producers and directors (The Hollywood Reporter magazine, 2015).
• The two-night premiere event of Season 10 (first part of the revival) attracted more than 50 million viewers worldwide in the first three days, setting new records in multiple countries.
• The opening title sequence remains unchanged for the first seven seasons. Season 8 introduces the first update, whereas Season 9 features a redesign. The revival brings back the classic version.
• Mulder, Scully, and Skinner are the only characters to be physically featured in every season. Langly also appears in every season, although in the revival only as a hallucination or a digital simulation.
• Showrunner Chris Carter wrote or co-wrote 75 episodes plus 2 films – more than any other scriptwriter; Kim Manners was the most-prolific director with 52 episodes to his credit.
• Real streets named after the protagonists exist: Mulder Avenue and Scully Way in Ottawa, Canada, plus Mulder Street near Scully Road in Dexter, Michigan.
• The Scully Effect: the character inspired a measurable increase in women pursuing careers in medicine, science, engineering, and law enforcement.
• It has been the subject of academic books and university courses covering media, gender representation, and conspiracy culture.
• Its merchandise includes VHS, DVD and Blu-ray releases, music, books, comics, video games, tabletop games, posters, and an official magazine.
