The X-Files was a popular American television
series created by Chris Carter. It ran for
nine seasons, from 1993 to 2002, spawning
a feature film in 1998, with first-run episodes
airing on the FOX network.
It was a critical and commercial success,
due in part to its stars, David Duchovny
and Gillian Anderson. Duchovny played Fox
Mulder and Anderson played Dana Scully,
two FBI agents tasked with investigating
paranormal phenomena. With plots spanning
alien conspiracy theories and high-level
governmental cover-ups, the show mimicked
episodic elements found in earlier shows
such as The Outer Limits, The Twilight Zone,
and the cult show Twin Peaks, in which Duchovny
had appeared as a cross-dressing DEA agent.
