I'm ashamed to say I've never seen an episode in my life, and after hearing about inbreeding hillbillies I've started to regret it.

There was just fantastic writing on that show. The one episode that got pulled after they aired it with the inbreeding hillbillies was awesome.
Was that the one that ended with them driving the mutated rape monster to a Cher concert?
And ya, the show rocked. They should consider a resurrection.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness,
starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the streets,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection
to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night.

Ummm, nothing compares cause the show SUCKED. No one wants to make the same mistakes and suck again, most shows are leaps and bounds better.

There is nothing creepier than the X-files.
Only the Twilight Zone in it's heyday might rival it.

Wasn't Warehouse 13 supposed to be like that?
There also used to be this show about paranormal investigators with a curly-haired brunette chick. Can't recall the name though.

I'd have to say you are definitely in a small minority with that opinion. Most shows these days suck completely.

Warehouse 13 is pure camp. It's nothing like the X-Files.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I watched about seven episodes of WH 13 on Hulu before I decided that it was horribly stupid crap.

I haven't watched any of Fringe, specifically because everyone says it trails off for some seasons. Even the hardcore fans tend to admit what's lacking.
The X-files had a cast who perfected their roles, great writing, and a perfect vision of that writing. I think it was just a one in a million combination.

I am a huge X-phile, got all the seasons, and I have to add my voice to the others that it was just a once in a lifetime thing. All the pretenders that had tried to follow it have been disappointments. Lately I feel like the sci-fi/fantasy regular television zen has been channeled a bit too much toward the urban fantasy (the latest of which is like Grimm, which I like) rather than sci-fi.
