X-Files cancelled
About time too.
I love the older series - it was weird, funny, and did a lot to make the population at large aware of weird/paranormal stuff (I suppose it can be argued whether this is a good thing or not, but that's another subject). After the movie came out it seemed to really start suffering, and getting rid of Mulder was the death knell. I've still been watching it just to see if anything improves (hope springs eternal) but the plot just keeps going in too many directions.
IMHO a lot of shows do this - beat it into the ground when ending on a high would have been the better course. I guess hindsight really is 20/20, but perhaps they should have quit the series after the movie and started sequential movies.
Ho hum...
