We Finns are lucky at the moment.
I know everything can be downloaded or bought on DVD nowadays, but one of the national cable channels is treating us well this summer: they just started showing the X-Files from the very beginning!
The first time this show was aired on TV - their timing for a show like this was perfect, partly politically, and also because the technology was taking huge steps at that time. The athmosphere was there already!
The stories were well written, and even though there was no useless romances or other soap in the show, the main characters were interesting enough, Mulder as some kind of a believable geek who still managed to get things done, and Scully as the "hot enough" sidekick. Also, the main story of Mulder's search for his lost sister and all the conspiracy theories went nicely along with the whole storyline, every now and then there were episodes about the big national conspiracy considering UFO's. Plus the characters like the smoking man (what was his name?) and their tight boss suited well.
For me personally, the show reached it's peak during, was it 6th season, where they found those wagons full of alien bodies in the middle of the desert...
Many other cool episodes as well, also some of the "one episode stories too"
And yeah, once again, who can honestly blaim he didn't want to bang Scully at some point of his TV viewing career?
