Most people have a belief one way or another about Aliens and this is why the show took off in a spectacular way! It spanned 9 seasons and a whopping 202 awesome episodes.

Did you know that the main reason for bringing the show to TV was the stupendous and maybe a little exaggerated but nonetheless amazing and (unsubstantiated) rumours of around 3 MILLION Alien abductions which had taken place worldwide?

• Also there was a TV show in the 1970's called Kolchak; The Night Stalker which was a show about a reporter in cold Chicago who was tasked to investigate different stories. In the course of his investigations, Kolchak would uncover facts that involved the supernatural. Starring Darren McGavin as Carl Kolchak, the series ran for more or less six months. Did you know that Entertainment Weekly called the awesome X Files "A GONER"?

Here's a few amazing and cool facts about the cult classic TV show, which came to dominate the TV airwaves (as it were) pretty much throughout the 1990's and early 2000's;

#1 THE CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN STARTED AS AN EXTRA.

#2 “HOME,” A GRAPHICALLY DISTURBING EPISODE, DREW INSPIRATION FROM THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF CHARLIE CHAPLIN.

Over the years, its following grew until it eventually became a cult favorite. Its passionate fanbase allowed the show to explore different topics, conspiracy theories, and other issues that involved the United States government and extraterrestrials.


#3 IN REAL LIFE, DUCHOVNY IS THE SKEPTIC.

Anderson’s character Scully was a skeptic, while Duchovny’s Mulder is a believer. In real life, however, it is the actor who is the skeptic. When interviewed on The Late Late Show With James Corden, Duchovny said that his fan mail had letters from people who told stories about alien abduction and this made him sad. “I thought that these people had issues that they had to deal with.” In Mulder’s office, there is a poster that says “I Want to Believe.”


The original version of the poster was supposedly bought in 1992. Over the years or seasons Mulder would replace the posters with different ones, but always with the same text.

#4 THE MAIN INSPIRATION FOR THE X-FILES WAS A REPORT THAT CLAIMED THERE ARE OVER THREE MILLION CASES OF ALIEN ABDUCTIONS.

Carter said that after reading a report revealing stories of people who were abducted by aliens, he thought of making the show. According to the report, the number of people who claimed to have been kidnapped by aliens totaled to more or less 3.7 million.
