Yea, uni in those days - you were lucky to get to see any TV, because most of the time you didn't have much access to a telly! (Ah, doesn't it make you feel all ancient now? :lol:) The X-Files was the only thing I watched all week, because the person who owned a telly in our flat was mad for it, so five of us used to cram into her room once a week, with a law that we had to watch it in the dark. The Non-X-philes leftover did once or twice do silly things like running round to knock of the window / switch *all* the lights off to amuse themselves. If we wanted to watch a video, we needed to rent the vhs player for the night, along with the video... (Or maybe it's just me that's ancient, sorry...) So, yeah S2-4 were the ones I watched that way; S5 I had a hard time catching; it was gloomy, so was rl at the time (even last year can't compete with that year), and by S6 I was where I live now and able to pick things up, but after that, as you say, it all seemed to go down hill pretty quick. But I'm afraid, as always, I fall for the humorous things & like S6 as a whole. Except for the really dull baseball one, of course.
