Speaking of The X-Files, has anyone here ever watched Kolchak: The Night Stalker? It only ran for one season back in the 70s but it was a huge influence on Chris Carter's creation of The X-Files and is well worth checking out. It's sort of the same premise as The X-Files except it's a lone reporter doing the investigating instead of two FBI agents.

Funny bit of trivia: the main character is played by Darren McGavin (the father from A Christmas Story) who also guested on The X-Files as the guy who founded the x-files.

Huh, I'll have to look into that. Funnily enough it's actually what Supernatural was originally envisioned as, and that show shares many writers (and the Vancouver filming location) with The X-Files.

Oh cool, it's also on Streaming Netflix.
