![]() ![]() Premiering in 1993 and having an original run of nine seasons (with two recent “event” seasons continuing the storyline), The X-Files was a sea-change television series, mixing UFOs, horror, science-fiction and monsters with an ongoing conspiracy storyline and a classic “will they/won’t they” partnership. ![]() Have we done a Best of 90’s TV Shows list? We should totally do that, if not.ĪNYWAY, while I can easily come up with a ton of TV shows that I watched in the 1990’s, the first one that always comes to mind is The X-Files. There were like three different Star Trek series, and two of them were really good! The 1990’s was full of iconic TV shows – you had Friends and Buffy and Batman the Animated Series, you had Oz and ER and Xena the Warrior Princess, you had Aeon Flux, Cowboy Bebop and Neon Genesis Evangelion. So, yeah, I’m stretching my remit this week to include Sc-fi conspiracy thrillers. Not technically a horror movie, but representative of a classic 1990’s phenomenon, and one that did have some horrific elements. Then I remembered that I HAD watched a 90’s movie this week. Re-run a review of Ringu or In the Mouth of Madness or something. So, in a bit of a panic over having not really watched anything 90’s horror related this week I ALMOST decided to bail on the whole thing. (One of the faux trailers added to the Grindhouse double bill that Robert Rodriquez and Quentin Tarantino made in 2007.) Then I remembered – it’s 90’s month! I can’t write about that, or Blood Rage or Thankskilling (I guess Adam’s Family Values might count, but no). I had some vague plan about writing a brief review of the Eli Roth’s trailer for the fake movie Thanksgiving. I’m working today, actually, but I did have pumpkin pie and turkey for breakfast. I hope you and yours had a great one, if you celebrate, and are enjoying a long weekend. It’s the Friday after Thanksgiving (that ‘made up American holiday,’ my friend Jason calls it – he’s British). So close to the truth and now with what we’ve seen and what we know to be right back at the beginning with nothing.“ “How many times have we been here before, Scully? Right here. ![]()
