I absolutely concur.  Personally, I feel that the perfect end for the X-Files would have been the last episode in Season 8.

And canceled most of them after a couple of seasons. X-Files had a (too) long run, but…

Millennium: Three seasons

Arrested Development: Three seasons

Firefly: One season

I’d add to that list two of my favorite shows from my teen years, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. and Strange Luck, both of which were cut off far too soon.

Two Christmases ago I thought all of Best Buy’s television seasons were $20.  I was thrilled.  I bought the full runs of X-Files, Millennium, Arrested Development (my brother bought one season), and Firefly.  That’s all I wanted to own.

Turns out that only Fox shows were on sale, and I never realized it, because all my favorites were Fox.  As much as I loathe Murdoch and much of the shit that gets aired on the network, Fox has had some very, very, very good shows.
