As Supernatural was on the bubble in the middle of season two, Kripke said in an interview with TV Guide: 'I wish we had a million to a half-million more viewers,' he admitted. Kripke saw X-Files fans as an untapped audience for the show. The earliest online mention of Supernatural in September 2004 described the show as Route 66 meets The X Files and later hilariously as new X-Files meets the OC ( Source).

It was also one of the first shows to have a very strong online fandom presence. Notably the last season was the one that aired after 9-11, as the mood and concerns of the American people shifted considerably. The X-Files tapped into the American zeitgeist at the end of the 20th century вЂ“ a mistrust of governments and institutions, and a desire to believe in something greater.

#Xfile wiki series

There were two X-Files movies, and a spin-off series called The Lone Gunmen. The X-Files, like Supernatural, was filmed in Vancouver for its first six seasons, after which it moved filming to Los Angeles. Mulder and Scully were one of the greatest examples of unresolved sexual tension on TV, until it wasnвЂ™t unresolved anymore. Like Supernatural the show combined a 'monster of the week' format with an overarching 'myth arc' that dealt with a global conspiracy to hide the presence of aliens on Earth. While Scully was a scientist and a skeptic - at least at first - Mulder believed in the existence of aliens, who he thought were responsible for the abduction of his sister when they were children. Scully was a doctor and the rational thinker of the pair Mulder was a profiler, and the intuitive one. The show focused on FBI agents Mulder and Scully who investigated strange unsolved cases. The X-Files was a sci-fi series that aired for nine seasons on the Fox network from 1993 to 2002, with a six-episode tenth season in 2016, and a ten-episode season in 2018. It would be hard to find someone working on the show who isn't an 'X-Files' fanвЂ¦'Supernatural' does owe a real creative debt of gratitude to the show I think the whole current generation of genre shows does.
