It kind of went downhill when Mulder's character was temporarily removed, but I still enjoyed the show.
I won't say it was a horrible show, all I can say personally is that I hated it. The biggest reason, was that I ran into far too many people who took the damned show as a documentary instead of mere entertainment.
It obviously was popular, so for that I can't say anything but that I didn't like it, for the reason I just stated.
I clearly remember one time hanging out at a friends house, when an episode about vampires was on, and his girlfriend said, "How do you know it isn't possible?"...
"Pro wrestling" would to me be on par with that show. Not so much now, but back in the 80s and prior, you could risk getting beat up for calling it an act.
I simply saw too many people taking that show way too seriously.
I have my own escapism too, but man, some people cant tell the difference between fantasy and real life.
