Hello and welcome to the best, worst, the celebration of the best and the worst of the television we love.

I'm Joseph Fink.

And I'm Meg Bashburner, and we love TV. So we created the show to explore what we love about popular TV shows by watching both the IMDB viewer best rated and

worst rated episodes of a quintessential series. Because we used to love TV and now TV has gotten

kind of weird. And so we want to figure out what was so good about the TV we loved.

Maybe we were just better. Maybe we were just better people then. Yeah. And we get what you deserve,

I think. I really do stand by that. There was a study, I think, in the Washington Post that everyone

thinks that everything was best when they were between 10 and 15 years old. Everyone will just always be like, oh, yeah, people were most trustworthy.

The music was best and it's always just whenever they were 10 to 15 years old, which is when

the X-Files were out.

Each of the shows on this podcast must adhere at here is the word I'm looking for to,

or a set of rules.

Each show must have at least 100 episodes.

We are also excluding premieres or finalities because those tend to have inflated ratings,

and we're looking to watch the television show at its absolute best, not at its most important or cliffhangery.

Let's get to today's show.

Meg, what is today's show?

Today's show is The X-Files, which ran for nine seasons, 217 episodes from the years

1993 to 2002 and was brought back for a couple more seasons in 2016 and 2018.
