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!

And, Rock and Roll Heaven claimed another today...
Gary Dwyer, the founding drummer of the influential Liverpool post-punk and neo-psychedelic band The Teardrop Explodes, died on August 9, 2026, at the age of 66, following a nearly two-year battle with leukaemia.
Dwyer was part of the band’s original 1978 lineup alongside singer and bassist Julian Cope, guitarist Mick Finkler, and keyboardist Paul Simpson, formed in Liverpool under the management of Bill Drummond and signed to his Zoo label. The Teardrop Explodes became a key act in Liverpool’s emerging post-punk scene, helping bring psychedelic elements back into mainstream British rock and pop alongside contemporaries including Echo and the Bunnymen. The band’s debut album, ‘Kilimanjaro,’ received widespread acclaim, and their single “Reward” became a UK Top Ten hit, cementing the band’s place in early 1980s British new wave.
Dwyer remained with the band as it evolved through further lineup changes and later played drums for The Colourfield, continuing to work within the Liverpool and wider UK post-punk and new wave scene for years afterward.
