X-Files: TV Guide News

  • Cable Channel Likes X-Files Vet's New Hot Meth | Today's News: Our Take | 5/23/2007
    According to Variety, AMC is thisclose to greenlighting Breaking Bad, X-Files writer-producer Vince Gilligan's new series starring Bryan Cranston as a suburban husband and father who, upon learning he has terminal cancer, uses his chemistry-teacher know-how to remake himself into a crystal-meth dealer. Soudns like Weeds on crack. Er, meth. read more
  • Fox Plays the Waiting Game | Matt Roush | 5/17/2007
    If you could just ignore those pesky months between September and December, Fox would be sitting pretty. The challenge each year for this network is how to schedule a fall start that will live up to the blockbuster spring finish provided by late-arriving shows like American Idol and (even a diminished) 24.In the last of the week’s Upfront presentations, Fox Entertainment president Peter Ligouri made the curious choice of putting himself in the middle of a 24 parody, trading exchanges on... read more
  • In your response to a recent ... | Matt Roush | 5/7/2007
    Question: In your response to a recent question about Heroes, you indicated that analyzing this show (and Lost) deters from your overall enjoyment of it. I'm quite surprised by this. As much as I enjoy Heroes and Lost on a pure entertainment level, I find that the deeper I wade into the mythology of each series, the more I can appreciate the show overall. Don't you yearn for more shows along these lines? You've said before that you are rather sick of procedurals, where everything is what it is... read more
  • David Duchovny Engages in Californication | Today's News: Our Take | 4/12/2007
    Showtime now has a title for its new comedy series starring David Duchovny and debuting in August. Californication, which starts lensing in June and costars Natascha McElhone (The Truman Show), Madeleine Martin (Hope & Faith), Madeline Zima (The Nanny) and Evan Handler (Sex and the City), concerns Hank Moody, a novelist struggling to raise his 13-year-old daughter (Martin) while still carrying a torch for his ex-girlfriend (McElhone). Says Showtime's press release, "[Hank's] obsession with... read more
  • Lost in ABC's Serial Bowl | Matt Roush | 1/15/2007
    So far, I’m on board with everything ABC is doing with and saying about Lost these days. As I’ve said before, I think the network is right to move the show to 10 pm/ET when it returns from hiatus on February 7—gets it out of the way of American Idol, provides a solid lead-in to the late local news, which the affiliates care about (although history tells us that many of the fans will ditch the TV to go straight to their message boards and fan sites), and keeps the network from... read more
  • Everybody Loved Peter Boyle | Matt Roush | 12/13/2006
    We knew him as Frank Barone, the gruff grandpa who made merry mischief with his sons, his long-suffering wife Marie and his horrified in-laws for nine seasons on Everybody Loves Raymond. Also as the comical monster of Young Frankenstein, tapping and yowling to “Puttin’ on the Ritz.” And let’s not forget Clyde Bruckman, the wry, melancholy psychic who foresaw his own death (among others, including Mulder’s) in one of the most memorable X-Files episodes ever. It was for... read more
  • November 26, 2006: Please Give Me Something to Blog About | TV Show Recaps | 11/27/2006
    I keep forgetting to mention how much I love Ghost Whisperer's opening credits and main theme music. Ghost Whisperer, Dexter, Medium, Masters of Horror and Battlestar Galactica all have fantastic opening titles that I actually don't forward through each week. The writer of Ghost Whisperer's main theme is Mark Snow, best known for that creepy and unmistakable X-Files theme that so many (including yours truly) grew to love and tremble to. It's good to see him continuing the journey of writing... read more
  • Movies Based on TV Shows: They've Been Around for a Long Time! | Movie News | 11/22/2006
    Question Do you know what was the first TV show to have a feature length movie made about it while the show was still on the air Did that show see a bump in ratings because of the movie Ryan FlickChick This is an interesting question and I have to say up front that I have no way of answering the second part Im sure there is a way of getting ratings information for 1960s television shows and checking against the release dates of the appropriate feature films but it would involve physically... read more be the first to leave a comment
  • In the Works: What If 24 Were a Medical Comedy? | Today's News: Our Take | 11/13/2006
    ABC has given a series commitment to The Call, a real-time medical comedy from 24 creators Joel Surnow and Bob Cochran, says the Hollywood Reporter. Unlike 24, however, The Call — which centers on a pair of best friends/unorthodox paramedics — will offer self-contained, nonserialized episodes, and no one even close to being as fab as Chloe.... X-Files exec producer Vince Gilligan has received a green light from AMC for Breaking Bad, an drama pilot about a high-school chemistry teacher... read more
  • X-Files' Duchovny Decides That It's Showtime | Today's News: Our Take | 11/10/2006
    David Duchovny is finalizing a deal to tackle his first series-regular TV role since The X-Files, as the star (and exec producer) of an untitled Showtime drama pilot about a sex- and drug-addicted novelist trying to raise a kid on his own. (I like to think of it as "The Courtship of Eddie's Horny, Hopped-up Father.") As part of the deal, says Variety, Duchovny will also set up a comedy series — Yoga Man, fancied as Shampoo in a yoga studio — at the cabler. read more
  • In the Works: ABC Joins James Patterson's Club | Today's News: Our Take | 9/28/2006
    Per Variety, ABC has tapped Brett Ratner to direct and produce a pilot based on the Women's Murder Club featured in several James Patterson thrillers, while The X-Files' Frank Spotnitz is developing for the network Murder Incorporated, a drama about a man from a wealthy family whose fortune has a dubious source....

    TVGuide.com has learned that Sarah Joy Brown (Cold Case) has been tapped for the female lead in Amped, Spike TV's much-anticipated drama pilot about cops battling humans mutated by a mysterious virus, and penned by The X-Files' Frank Spotnitz and Vince Gilligan.

    Question: Will there ever be a second X-Files movie? Answer: Not in the next two years, considering Gillian Anderson just announced she's expecting her second child in 2007. read more
  • Blade Scribe Eyes Batman's Return | Today's News: Our Take | 7/5/2006
    In Part 1 of our Q&A with David S. Goyer, the producer/writer detailed the differences and similarities between Spike TV's Blade: The Series (Wednesdays at 10 pm/ET) and its big-screen begetter. Here he shares the scoop on which other Blade characters will surface on TV, status reports on The Flash, Nicolas Cage's Ghost Rider and the Batman Begins follow-up, and the sad truth about why shows such as read more
  • Night Stalker: The Truth Is Out on DVD | Today's News: Our Take | 5/30/2006
    Fans of one of the original ghostbusters and his most recent TV incarnation would be wise to scare up a copy of the new Night Stalker DVD boxed set hitting stores today, as it offers up not only four episodes never broadcast during the series' fall 2005 ABC run, but also revealing commentary from creator Frank Spotnitz. TVGuide.com seized this opportunity to ask Spotnitz about his Stalker's unfortunate fate, the frightfully fun show he's working on now and the next X-Files fi read more
  • Annabeth Gish Is Far from Desperation | Today's News: Our Take | 5/23/2006
    Annabeth Gish has been all over the airwaves this year — in her recurring guest spot as the president's eldest daughter on The West Wing, on Showtime's new Brotherhood series (premiering in July), and tonight, as one of a group of travelers kidnapped by an evil cop outside an eerie Nevada mining town in Stephen King's Desperation (8 pm/ET on ABC). But despite working steadily in the biz since 1986, she's still the kind of actress who slips quietly under the radar, earning admiration... read more

    Question: I just wanted to say that I nearly broke a rib laughing during last Sunday's Sopranos after the way Lauren Bacall got jacked, not to mention her subsequent reaction to it. Also, I guess I'm the only fan out there who isn't upset with the way the season is progressing. I know it's slow going right now, but a lot of good shows in the past have taken their time building up to a thrilling conclusion, like X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, etc. Answer: I am loving this season... read more
  • Ausiello keeps talking about ... | Matt Roush | 4/17/2006
    Question: Ausiello keeps talking about a film version of 24. Am I the only person who thinks making a 24 movie is, well, a total oxymoron on a level with "military intelligence" and "sugar-free caramel?" The real-time format is the show's trademark, even if some stretching has to happen to make everything fit without people getting stuck in L.A. traffic. In general, I don't think many shows, especially those still on the air, would make a good translation to the big screen.... read more
  • Do you think that there is ... | Matt Roush | 4/10/2006
    Question: Do you think that there is any chance networks will learn to not milk a show for more seasons when the stories have run their course? It seems unfair to the audience to keep a show around seasons past its prime. None of the X-Files fans I know, for instance, think the final few seasons of that show were anywhere near as good as the earlier seasons. It's especially bad when the original creator of the show leaves or is fired because he/she wants the story to end as it should and the... read more
  • With the six genre shows that ... | Matt Roush | 3/20/2006
    Question: With the six genre shows that premiered this past season and the tons of genre pilots in production, do you think that sci-fi and fantasy shows will ever become mainstream hits? Everyone counts Lost as a revival in genre, but it's just a [great] character drama with a small tinge of science-fiction elements. Medium is just a crime show in which the lead character has weird dreams, and Ghost Whisperer is light fluff. But it seems that The X-Files has been the only sci-fi show to be... read more

Premise: `The truth is out there,' and FBI agents Scully and Mulder seek it in this sci-fi phenomenon about their quest to explain the seemingly unexplainable. Their strange cases include UFO sightings, alien abductions and just about anything else paranormal. The tales were spooky and well-written, but the long-running cult favorite's strength was a gallery of intriguing (when they weren't just enigmatic) characters, and the dynamic---and intense bond---between believer Mulder and skeptic Scully.
