Drive from season 6.

Great episode with great Mulderisms.

I first must admit that I wasnt the biggest fan of The X-Files, but did watch it once every so often....

I apologize if this is a lame question, but was the only reason why the show was cancelled was because David Duchovny was against them filming in Canada...or was there something else?

X-Files was filmed in Canada for the first five seasons.

Last four seasons were shot in California.

David Duchovny left at the end of season 7, returned for a handful of episodes in season 8, and the finale in season 9.

Gillian Anderson was leaving after season 9 as well, and Robert Patrick and Anabeth Gish just couldn't get it done.

The show was cancelled because David Duchovny left and ratings went down.

Good question.

After Season 4 ish, David was growing tired of the cold, rainy weather. He basically raised a stink and said he wanted to show to move to LA (that way he could be at home, near his family and friends, etc. I think Gillian Anderson felt the same way, but she was less vocal with it.

After Season 5, the X-Files did move to LA per DD's request (and other reasons I'm sure (bigger budget).. but my feelings on it are: They moved because DD probably wouldn't have renewed his contract.. but that's just me guessing).

The actual show was cancelled after season 9. Ratings were crap and DD wasn't on the show, Gillian's contract was up after that season, too. It was just the right move. After DD left full time in Season 7, FOX wanted the X-Files to keep running. Chris Carter, the creator, did not want to give up his baby, so he signed on to do another 2 years. Fortunately, Gillian was signed through season 9, so he had her to work with. DD said he'd come back for the last 8 eps or something of Season 8. But he was done after that. He did come back for the series finale in Season 9 though.

Anyway, that's pretty much it. Ratings sucked, the actors weren't into it, and finally FOX realized it was time to put it to rest.

Just a note to everybody- TNT is at the end of Season 9. Tonight, they will air the following episodes:
TNT
12:00 AM EDT (Midnight) - "Jump The Shark"
1:00 AM EDT - "William"
2:00 AM EDT - "Release"
3:00 AM EDT - "Sunshine Days"

Which means that sometime in the next couple of days (probably thursday) they will go back to season 1. If you don't own DVD sets, make sure you check your local listings and start recording season 1.

So, then how about starting the 'watch an episode and comment' thing you've been talking about doing? We could all start from the beginning ... and discuss... :)

11 years ogo....

In honor of the eleventh anniversary tomorrow...

Variety
September 13, 1993

THE X-FILES
Fox, Fri. Sept. 10, 9 p.m.

Filmed on location in British Columbia by Ten Thirteen Prods. And Fox Broadcasting Co. Executive producer, writer, Chris Carter. Supervising producer, Daniel Sackheim. Director, Robert Mandel. Camera, Thomas Del Ruth; editor, Stephen Mark; art director, Sheila Haley; sound, Michael Williamson; music, Mark Snow; production designer, Michael Nemirsky. 60 MIN.

Cast: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Charles Cioffi, Cliff DeYoung, Sarah Koskoff, Leon Russom, Zachary Ansley, Stephen E. Miller, Malcolm Stewart, Alexander Berlin, Jim Jansen, Ken Camroux, Doug Abrams, William B. Davis, Katya Gardener, Ric Reid, Lesley Ewen, J.B. Bivens.

Looks like sci-fi/mystery fans have something they can sharpen their teeth on with this new series about an FBI agent specializing in unexplained phenomena and a doubting agent sent along to keep an eye on him. If succeeding chapters can keep the pace, the well-produced entry could be this season's UFO highflier.

FBI agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) explores paranormal operations shoved into the back files ? "X-files" ? by the bureau, apparently so they can keep their eye on what he might uncover. Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), sent to document Mulder's activities, also is recording whatever she finds out of order.

Their initial foray involves four odd, separate deaths in an Oregon forest. All of the dead were students from the same class. All of them hit the woods and, after experiencing a flood of white light, were found dead with two odd spots on their corpses. Mulder links the deaths with two other students in a psychiatric hospital, while Scully begins witnessing stuff too tough to explain in her reports.

Experiences with the local constabulary, the county medical examiner (Cliff DeYoung) and his daughter, while digging up one of the bodies add up to what some may consider hokum and others will get a kick from the shenanigans. Writer Chris Carter and director Robert Mandel build the suspense despite using reworked concepts and familiar visual effects.

Duchovny's serious scientist with a sense of humor should win him partisans, and Anderson's wavering doubter connect well. They're a solid team, no matter how exhausted the subject matter.

Mandel's cool direction of Carter's ingenious script and the artful presentation itself give TV sci-fi a boost. A couple of red herrings about a phony white light and mosquito bites are annoyances, but the material as a whole has been artfully rearranged,. Carter's dialogue is fresh without being self-conscious, and the characters are involving. Series kicks off with drive and imagination, both innovative in recent TV.

- Tony Scott


Happy X-Files anniverasy!!!!!!!

Del The Funkee Homosapian Says This

Del the Funkee Homosapien Lyrics

X-Files Lyrics


Star-struck MCs receive no attention
From the man whose mind is not even in this dimension
I'm on another plane, sicker than the mother brain
The ultimate expression, yes indeed
Heed, my flow's symphonic, hypnotic, psychotic
Never semiotic but doper than narcotics
A few a y'all caught it on my first release
But now my power's increased, enhanced
Del meets the fans halfway, and slap a rapper in his chops
The temperature drops, you get pneumonia
Or maybe exposed to radiation by plutonium
Some say rap's an idiom, get the A-S-R-S-P
And then a medium, the best of both worlds
Brilliantly engineered, lyrics dement your fear
Del is now in the clear, I was in prison
But now free to be everything that I envision
Abandon the plan and the uninspired
And the haters that cater to their needs agree
It's bizarre, by far anarchy no control
No soul, the whole ****ing planet's gonna fold
Unless we administer, since, as we enter the
Twenty-first century even your worst enemy
Gotta get it together, mentally and systematically
When ******* think I'm a smart-ass, it makes em mad at me
Why, cause I try my best to eliminate ignorance
Not letting my brain burn out like cigarettes
There's bigger threats besides thieves or your pet peeves
But what's right in your face is what nobody believes

[CHORUS]
Del, what you got up your sleeve?
If it was up to me
I would pass the baton cause it's tough to lead
But still I drop facts here and there so I can up the seed
So you must believe

Del, what you got up your sleeve?
If it was up to me
I would pass the baton cause it's tough to lead
But still I drop facts here and there so I can up the seed
So you must believe
X-Files


Lots of rappers today depend on imagery
I myself depend on skills and my energy
It's maddening, at every single gathering
Of young black youth it's got to be some ******* badgering
Averaging out to be bout three out a G
How mother****ers build stereotypes, cause it's all they see
I take glee in the fact that I'm me
Not a follower, a dollar wouldn't make me sell my soul
Del is old-school compared to your subterfuge
I got the same code of ethics Jungle Brothers use
Now every ****** wanna be crime related
Can't rhyme creative and they're made of self-hatred
That's why they overstep boundaries that's sacred
From the street to the corporate scene they all mean business
Self for self, phony doesn't work
Your soul holds no weight when you let the devil lurk
Fighting evildoers I been evil myself
But I'm still a black man with experience, under my belt
I may be young, but my soul is old
Living in the ice ages where a ******'s soul is cold
Don't give a **** about your life or his
But if you get a gat for protection, who lives?
Comin up ain't the same as pullin everybody else down
But try telling that to ******* that are spellbound
They'll probably say that you talk too much
They gotta think too much
So just be careful who you trust

[CHORUS 2X]
X-Files
Peace
