No and no and no!

FOX should leave classics the hell well enough alone.

You don’t tinker with something that stands on it own.

I hate reboots.

I liked the X-Files but those last 2-3 years were really out there.

The first few seasons of xfiles were riveting.

X-Files was good until the end.

Prison Break fell apart about the middle of the second season.

Sure...why not? Might as well reboot Breaking Bad as well. And Star Trek; this time with lens flares!

I would watch “24” until Jack Bauer is stealing bed pans in a nursing home. Love that show.

I’ve always had a crush on Gillian Anderson.

I'm tired of the use of the word 'reboot'. A reboot is what they did with The Night Stalker a few years back. They thought they could CGI in Darren McGavin in the premiere to get people hooked, but the show was a shell of the original, and it tanked. There's no way they could 'reboot' The X Files. The competent thing to do (and I'm fully aware that we're talking about Hollywood types here) is to bring it back as a follow-on to the original series, and cast some good, solid character actors in there, not a bunch of multi-culti, flavor-of-the-week 20-somethings. Create a good back-story for where Mulder, Scully, Skinner, et al., all moved on to, and get a stable of creative writers who can think outside the box and put some damn good sci-fi and Spooksville stuff down on paper.

They missed the big deadline from the original series - 21 December 2012. That is when the alien invasion was supposed to occur.

I always had a crush on Scully too, but I think that Gillian Anderson is pretty exclusively lesbian. That may have been part of why there were lots of reports that she and Duchovney did not get along well in real life. Her career has not been great since the X-Files, but Duchovney has done better, so they would probably have to pay him more to get him back.

no new ideas!

At least the SyFy channel brought some new shows to the small screen with Ascention(sp) and Z Nation. So what if they were crap at least they weren’t remakes!!!
