New 'X-Files' trailer encourages 201 days of binge-watching

The first teaser for the new "X-Files" reboot offers a quick glimpse at the reboot along with some nostalgia and the assertion that "the truth is in there."

While we've seen a few behind-the-scenes shots from the set of the forthcoming "X-Files" reboot, heard about Gillian Anderson's challenge in "waking up" Scully and even seen David Duchovny tear up over the "fantastic script," we haven't seen much in the way of a preview of the six-episode series due to air on the Fox network in January.

Tuesday, with the release of the first official teaser for the show, that doesn't really change.

Unfortunately, the trailer -- titled "201 Days of the 'X-Files'" -- is pretty much just a montage of scenes from the previous series, which ran from 1993-2002. Instead of teasing what's to come, the trailer is an effort on the part of Fox to get you to go back and watch all the episodes in the original series. If you start today and watch one episode per day, you'll be caught up just in time for the January 24 airing of the new show. This might actually not be such a bad idea. There's a lot of history to remember before you join the agents out in the field again in January.

Every past episode will run in it's entirety on Fox.

Past episodes will end the weekend before the first of the new start.

Get out those recorders folks, or buy the DVD Box set!

And I have NO Doubt Fox will make more money on the re-runs than they did on the original run.

Cult Classic ping.

The two best shows in TV history were X Files and Seinfeld.

One show a day? OMG G G G G !!! - NOOOOO!

I got thru all 5 seasons of Breaking Bad in 2 weeks. Sons of Anarchy took me 2 weeks to get thru the 5 (?) seasons. In the middle of bingeing Sons, I was walking home from the post office and saw Ron Perlman (Clay Morrow) having a bagel and coffee at the outdoor table in front of Noah's Bagels in Larchmont Village :-)

I'm not seeing that Fox TV or fox on line is running the episodes. Looks like they are pushing us to buy the DVD set to watch along with them. (Else, as others have mentioned, Netflix)

I was ahead of the curve, and bought all 9 seasons for $6/set at Meijer on a black Friday sale. (just finished watching season 1)

"I got thru all 5 seasons of Breaking Bad in 2 weeks."

I did that with the first 5 seasons of 24.

Couldn't put it down. A real page-turner.

that's an amazing deal.

I haven't looked, but I'm betting the NEW, FANCY, box set goes for over $100.

I’ve seen maybe two episodes (if that) of the x-files and the movie. I may give it a try.

Thanks!

Add Frasier. Remarkable writing on that series, even better than Seinfeld.
