The X-Files is an American television series created by Chris Carter which first aired on FOX on September 10 , 1993 and ended on May 19 , 2002 . The X-Files was one of the network's first major hits, and its main characters and slogans (e.g. "The Truth Is Out There," "Trust No One," "Deny Everything," "I Want to Believe") became pop culture touchstones, simultaneously tapping into and inspiring a plethora of conspiracy theories , paranoia about the U.S. government, and belief in the existence of extraterrestrial life .
In the series, FBI agents Fox Mulder ( David Duchovny ) and Dana Scully ( Gillian Anderson ), tasked with investigating the titular "X-Files," cases marginalized by the FBI and often involving paranormal phenomena . Mulder plays the role of the "believer," having faith in the existence of aliens and the paranormal, while Scully plays the skeptic, initially assigned by her departmental superiors to debunk Mulder's unconventional work. As the show progressed both agents became embroiled in the same larger conflicts (termed "the mythology" or " mytharc " by the show's creators) and developed a close and ambiguous friendship — which some fans, known as " shippers ," saw as more than platonic . The X-Files also featured stand-alone episodes ranging in tone from horror to comedy in which Mulder and Scully investigated bizarre cases usually without long-term implications on the storyline. These so-called "monster of the week" episodes made up the bulk of the series.
The show's popularity peaked in the mid-to-late '90s, even inspiring a hit movie in 1998 . However, in the last two seasons, Anderson became the star as Duchovny appeared rarely, and new central characters were introduced: FBI Agents John Doggett ( Robert Patrick ) and Monica Reyes ( Annabeth Gish ).
At the time of its final episode, The X-Files was the longest running sci-fi show in American television history, a title since lost to Stargate SG-1 . The show was declared by TV Guide to be the 37th Best TV show of all-time, and the second greatest cult TV show of all time, trailing only Star Trek .
