They start with a man and woman co-staring, they add every race and many many religious beliefs and difficulties that are still talked about today. The show is amazing and shouldn't have ever stopped. However when they finished, they finished big. How can anyone compete with that? The UFO report list shortened after it stopped airing... it is amazing as a show and could never again be duplicated. I sincerely love the show and I watch it on repeat because it's perfect for what it is.
Sightings of UFOs, jetis, Nessie, spontaneous inflammations and so on strangely dropped when everyone had a camera in their pocket. As for X-Files, wasn't it rebooted last year?
