Hey no issues here, happy to learn about new things.

I never watched The X-Files but with winter coming up it’s always nice to have some new (to me) shows to watch.

A spinoff would be the way to go if you want to extend a series. I’m not quite sure who you could do that for in Archer. I was thinking like Better Call Saul (a fourth show has entered the discussion). I think that was really well done but I’m not sure a similar thing could be done for Archer and be as successful.

I hope you enjoy your rewatch of The X-Files!

Well if you liked those early seasons of Supernatural you’ll probably like The X-Files too. They both owe a lot to a short lived show from the '70s called Kolchak: The Night Stalker.

Kolchak: The Night Stalker inspired The X-Files in the '90s, which in turn inspired Supernatural and Fringe in the early 2000s. Three great shows were built on the back of one series that’s been more or less forgotten.
