It seems a ridiculously short time to feel nostalgia, even negative nostalgia, but it feels like a life-age has passed since then.Brerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14429065718316352989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763125547265537672.post-8305985311794999372009-01-24T18:35:00.000-06:002009-01-24T18:35:00.000-06:00A favorite of mine also, except that his wife most...A favorite of mine also, except that his wife mostly annoyed me. It airs regularly on the Chiller channel.<BR/><BR/>I also recently caught several episodes of a short-run show called "Haunted" that was pretty good. The tie-in is that the music for it was also by Mark Snow. It's about a private detective who was almost killed, and when he came back from his near death experience he was able to see ghosts. He was also haunted by the ghost of the criminal he killed, and who almost killed him.<BR/><BR/>Another short-lived series from Fox (also during the X-Files heydays) that you might want to check out is "Strange Luck." I don't know if it's on DVD, but if it is, check it out. D.B. Sweeney plays a man who, as a young boy, was the only survivor of a plane crash, and throughout his life has been blessed (or cursed) with strange luck. They also threw a cursory X-Files reference into one episode, just before it got canceled.AlanDPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910363728370240226noreply@blogger.com
