X-Files over! :(

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The truth may be out there but The X-Files won't be.

"The television series about FBI agents tracking aliens and other unusual suspects will end its nine-year run on Fox in May with its 201st episode", the network said.

The decision to wrap up The X-Files, which became a signature show for Fox and turned David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson into stars, followed network discussions with creator Chris Carter.

"It's the ninth inning. We want to go out on top", Carter told the Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety. "We wanted to go out as a strong show."

In a statement: Fox Television Entertainment Group chairman Sandy Grushow said: "We respect Chris' wishes to end the show this season.''

Duchovny bowed out of the series last season, leading to the introduction of new cast members Robert Patrick and Annabeth Gish as agents working with Dana Scully (Anderson).

The X-Files "will end with a two-part episode, written by Carter, which he promised will tie up loose ends". He'd welcome Duchovny's return for the finale, Carter said in Variety's Thursday edition.

The series' ratings had dropped this season, but Fox still sees life in Carter's eerie tales of conspiracies and otherworldly events: A second theatrical feature is planned.

The first film, "The X-Files,'' was a 1998 box-office success.

I'm sorry to see it go, but it really wasn't the same without Fox Mulder though! :( It's good that it's going out on top instead of them trying to breath life into a dying series, but I'll miss the cool scripts and the "Is There Life Out There" parodies! Aaaah well! Goodbye Mulder and Scully! Oooh and the Lone Gunmen! :)

I´m sorry the show is over... :sad: But as Monica said it wasn´t the same without Mulder. I used to love the show but it isn´t that good as it used to be. I loved the episodes from season 1 to season 6!

I'm really sorry the show will be over soon and I'm very sad... :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
Right, it isn't the same without Mulder but I loved the show from the beginning and watched and loved it even when Mulder was gone cause there was still my beloved Gillian Anderson and to me she's just a great and amazing actress. I still do love the show and I always will!
