It's been a while since we last watched the X-Files.
Originally, we watched the series live, as it was broadcasts, beginning in 1993. Episodes were broadcast on Fridays at 9:00 pm Eastern Time for the series' first three seasons; the following six seasons aired on Sundays at 9:00 pm Eastern Time.
This was must-see TV for us during these nine-years.
When JC was old enough, we revisited the series, watching on dvd. This would have begun somewhere about 2005, or slightly later by a year or two (at the most).
Since we completed that second run of viewing, X-Files has only really existed in our memories, with the exception of the two later seasons running January 24, 2016 to February 22, 2016 and January 3, 2018 to March 21, 2018. These were Season's 10 and 11.
So, with some TV-Time available for the upcoming months, and nothing new really drawing us in, what better opportunity than revisiting old friends Scully, Mulder, Skinner, Cigarette Smoking Man, the Lone Gunman "Byers, Frohike, and Langly", Doggett and Reyes.
I will keep a log of episodes watched and progress, as we journey through over 200 episodes!

From our old friend Henry....
“A man’s ignorance sometimes is not only useful, but beautiful, while his knowledge, so called, is oftentimes worse than useless beside being ugly. Which is the best man to deal with, he who knows nothing about a subject, and what is extremely rare, knows that he knows nothing, — or he who really knows something about it, but thinks that he knows all?”
― Henry David Thoreau, quote from Walking
Black Lizard / Vintage Crime #19 for 2026...
"Comeback", Parker #17, Richard Stark (a/k/a Donald Westlake), published in 1997.
From a GoodReads Review: "...After Butcher’s Moon (1974), which in a way seemed like a series-ending #16 Parker book, bringing together many characters from previous books, with a slam bang finish, Stark stopped writing Parker novels. His buddy Lawrence Block in his introduction tells us that Stark attempted various novels over the years, and they never worked. But get this: After 23 years he got an idea and it gradually came together, resulting in Comeback (1997)—yup, that’s the only acknowledgement that Parker had gone away at all! And he hasn’t aged a bit. And Stark would write seven more Parker books until his death."
Having been born in 1962, and liking and listening to music from the early sixties onward, I thought it might be fun to attempt a listing of my favorite albums each year since birth.
The initial post for this series of ideas began on December 26th, 2023. You can look it up....
This time, I present my "Top Albums released in 1969, #41 through #50"
... from that incredible Year in Music 1969!
