‘The X Files’ returns to Fox after almost 14 years
By Brian Craddock TV Media
I t’s been almost 14 years since “The X-Files” last aired a new episode. Series stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson have gone on to success in other shows, such as “Californication” and “The Fall,” respectively, but fans are clamoring to see the two reprise the roles that made them famous: special agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.
Now it’s finally happening: “The X-Files” returns to the small screen in the form of a six-part miniseries, premiering in a twonight event Sunday and Monday, Jan. 24 and 25, on its old home network, Fox. After this two-night premiere, it slips into its Monday time-slot for the remainder of the series’ run.
Considering how long it’s been since we’ve seen a new episode (not including the film “The XFiles: I Want to Believe” in 2008), it’s understandable that some changes have been made to the series, but it should still be largely the same show we saw almost a decade and a half ago. The main cast members are (mostly) returning; besides Duchovny and Anderson, viewers can expect to see Mitch Pileggi (“Dallas”) as the FBI’s Walter Skinner, as well as William B. Davis (“Continuum”) as the conspiratorial Smoking Man. Even the Lone Gunmen are back: Bruce Harwood (“MacGyver”), Tom Braidwood (“Amazon Falls,” 2010) and Dean Haglund (“Bones”) all reprise their roles as John Fitzgerald Byers, Melvin Frohike and Richard Langly (who also appeared in their own spinoff in 2001). Annabeth Gish’s (“Sons of Anarchy”) Monica Reyes also returns, but absent will be John Doggett, the character played by Robert Patrick (“Scorpion”).
There are some new faces as well: Joel McHale of “Community” appears as Tad O’Malley, anchor of an online news show in the same vein as controversial real-life radio host Alex Jones; Annet Mahendru (“The Americans”) plays Sveta, an alien abductee. Noted “X-Files” superfan Kumail Nanjiani (who in addition to his acting work in
shows such as “Silicon Valley” also produces an “X-Files” fan podcast) is also slated to appear in an as-yet-unspecified role in the third episode (though in a photo posted on Twitter, Nanjiani is seen wearing an animal control officer jacket, flanked by Duchovny and Anderson).
So just how are cast members of the original series feeling about jumping back into roles they haven’t played in years? Well, when he first got the script for the opening episode, Duchovny says he cried:
“I just read it about an hour ago, and I started crying reading the first page,” Duchovny told Entertainment Weekly in May. “It was just so strange to see the names on the page. ... We’d been planning it for a long time.”
For Davis, it was an easy decision to return. “As an actor it’s good for me, it’s good for my career and it’s stimulating,” he said in an interview with Den of Geek.
“I had no hesitation. I would have been quite disappointed if the show had been done without me, and I think a lot of fans would have been disappointed as well.”
Millions of fans are wondering how this season will play out. Major details are scant, even as the show is about to air, but creator Chris Carter has managed to drop one significant bombshell, revealing to the Hollywood Reporter in September that Mulder and Scully are no longer a couple. “We put some of the tension back in that was relieved by them being together,” he said. “It added to the storytelling opportunities.”
Carter also revealed his amazement at how it felt finishing up the show for a second time. “I look [at the original series] and I see that we did 202 episodes of the show. I honestly don’t know how we did it. I was exhausted by the end of these six episodes.”
The original “X-Files” series was a show that, unlike your average police procedural or sitcom, had an overarching story that lasted over its entire run. So in addition to “monster of the week” episodes (featuring a one-off villain), there were also “mythology arc” episodes. These were the meat of the story and saw Mulder and Scully uncover a sprawling conspiracy that was far bigger than they could have imagined.
With only six episodes to work with, you’d expect them to do away with the one-off villains, but in an interview with The Canadian Press, Carter said that while the new series is a mix of standalone stories and the overarching plot, “[i]t will all be of a piece, meaning that it won’t feel disconnected. It’ll all feel as if it’s taking place in what I would call television ‘real time.’”
It’s been 13 long years, but it appears “X-Files” fans will finally get what they’re waiting for. The six-part “X-Files” revival premieres Sunday and Monday, Jan. 24 and 25, on Fox, before slipping into its Monday timeslot.

Empty nest syndrome: it’s what can happen when the kids finally grow up and move out, leaving the big family home empty, quiet and oh so lonely for mom and dad. It’s well documented, and even inspired a hugely successful NBC sitcom in the 1980s and 1990s (“Empty Nest”).
I’m no doctor, but it seems to me that empty nest syndrome would be likely to set in when four of a couple’s six kids grow up and move out. Joseph Simmons — better known by his stage name, Rev Run — and his wife, Justine, are dealing with just that.
And what’s a lonely parent to do? For Rev and Justine, the solution is simple: Sunday suppers. They invite cameras into their home as they lovingly whip up Sunday meals for the whole family, each and every week. A new season of “Rev Run’s Sunday Suppers” gets underway Wednesday, Jan. 27, on Cooking Channel.
The result is a cooking show that has a lot of genuine heart beating inside of it. As the Simmons prep dinner for the “kids,” they share their special family recipes with viewers, but also with their kids, in an effort to pass treasured family traditions on to the generations.
While the passing of recipes from parents to children may be
traditional — often hand-written on little cardboard recipe cards — the Cooking Channel show allows for those of us watching at home to benefit from the tradition, too. Cookingchanneltv.com plays host to the Simmons family recipe box and is packed to the brim with all of the recipes featured in the show.
With all six kids back home once a week, Sundays provide a reprieve for Rev Run and Justine from that empty nest feeling, and fill the house with chatter, laughter and warmth that fans can enjoy along with the Simmons family. A new season of “Rev Run’s Sunday Suppers” premieres
Wednesday, Jan. 27, on Cooking Channel.

Late Laughs
Conan
In Missouri, a man named Bud Weisser was arrested for trespassing at the Budweiser plant. In his defense, the man said he was just looking for his mail.
A new report claims ISIS has been using American weapons in their fight against the United States. The weapons include tanks, rifles and Donald Trump.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
Hillary Clinton told People magazine that her granddaughter called her “grandma” for the first time on the same night as the first Democratic debate. Then Hillary gazed into her granddaughter’s eyes and said, “This is my night, not yours. Pick your moments.”
And in his interview with People magazine, Bernie Sanders said that his grandchildren sometimes call
him “Grandpa Bern.” Which sounds less like a term of endearment and more like a medical condition.
Late Night With Seth Meyers
“The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show” aired tonight on CBS. Normally, you’d have to watch the Food Network to see that many oily ribs.
The University of Vermont has announced that they will now offer a course on the science of marijuana. The earliest it’s offered is 2 p.m.

Goosebumps
Solution on page 10.
When Zach (Minnette) moves to a quiet and sleepy small town, he finds himself bored to tears until he meets what may be the hamlet’s only saving graces: his new best friend, Champ (Lee), and his new neighbor, Hannah (Rush). Hannah, it turns out, is the daughter of famous “Goosebumps” author R. L. Stine (Black), a mysterious and somewhat creepy man who appears to be a prisoner in his own
twisted imagination. When Zach and Champ open one of Stine’s manuscripts, they learn a horrifying truth: that all of the monsters in the author’s books are real and that Stine has kept them locked in the book for decades. With the abominable snowman, Slappy the Living Dummy and even a werewolf now free, it’s up to the three youths to save the town from the terror that they’ve unleashed.
