I had to do a presentation the other day and decided to do it playfully with an X-files theme (it vaguely concerned conspiracy). To my dismay, I discovered that none of the people in the audience had ever watched the X-files. EVER!!! these peolpe are all 20/21 (ish) so that means it was on UK tv when most of our parents wouldn't let us watch it. This of course made it a tribilliwillion more times more desirable and we would all secretly tape it and watch it the next day. These people barely even recognised the unmistakeable theme tune.

Without doubt a Lost or 24 flavoured talk would have been immediatly snapped up despite the fact these shows, while not without their own charms (Jack Bauer is a bad ass mofo machine), could never live up to the greatness that was the X-files.

Modern, non-comedic, shows (Heroes, etc) can't seem to resist piling on cliffhanger after cliffhanger making them unwatchable on TV, but perfect for sellling DVD series (which they even have the cheek to split into two separate boxes). No wonder piracy is so high.

I think they need to bring back the X-files (as a series and not another movie, as the recent effort wasn't exactly top notch) and how about a decent attempt at a game?
