The X-Files

1993-2002; 9 seasons; 202 episodes

One of the key modern series to reinvent the possibilities of television, The X-Files is ridiculously groundbreaking both in terms of story and format. For nine long seasons, Mulder and Scully investigated kooky monsters, alien sightings and deformed Cher fanatics, while at the same time frustrating everybody with increasingly contrived conspiracy hoodoo. But it's still a classic. Starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.
