I am not sure what is going on with broadcast network programmers but I think some are out to kill the sci-fi genre. Over the years I have been shocked by networks, like Fox, where new programming was offered after sporting events. Many times new programs were placed after GOLF (anyone remember hearing "now joining the regularly scheduled programming already in progress"?). Anyone wishing to investigate network shenanigans further should begin by visiting the "FireFly" article at Wikipedia (Fox killed the series claiming low ratings but the series went on break sale records at Amazon). Okay so when I noticed that episode-1 of "X-Files: Re-Opened" would air just after the AFC-NFC playoffs, I recorded everything from 7 PM to midnight. I was previously a fan of the original X-files as well as "The Lone Gunmen" so watched the first episode of Re-Opened expecting to be disappointed. I was wrong. This episode was everything I wanted to see in the previous series "and more". Now here's the kicker: I appear to be the only person in North America who watched episode-1 because no one I know was able to watch it or record it. The situation in Canada is a tiny bit different since episode-1 was shown 5 days later on Friday night on the SPACE channel. If you are able to do so, try to catch up by watching episode-1 online.
