What was the name of the episode in which the hillbillies kept their mother under the bed and kept getting her pregnant? Home. Which didn't bother me at all, so I don't know what that says about me. Nothing really ever icked me out on this show aside from Flukeman.

I was more creeped out by the Johnny Mathis soundtrack as the bad things were happening, actually. The juxtaposition was great.

Home, Flukeman, Tooms, that episode with the bugs/cockroaches (gah!) ... This show creeped me out like no other. Good times.

I just got a kick out of Scully saying, "Baa Ram Ewe" when she and Mulder were trying to get the pigs to escape and create a distraction.

A lighthearted moment in a really creepy episode. It wasn't re-aired for a couple of years after that. When it finally was, Fox kept running ads saying things like, "Put the kids to bed before X-Files this week! We're going to show that one again!"
She totally got him porn.
I watched The Unnatural a while back - the one about the Negro League baseball player who turns out to be an alien - and realized that Jesse L. Martin played him. We also learn in that episode that all the great players (pre-steroid era) were aliens. The end is fun, too - "Shut up, Mulder. I'm playin' ball."
I think I'm headed for an X-Files marathon soon.

r] It probably says something disturbing about me that one of my regular shows for holiday viewing is "The Ghosts Who Stole Christmas." [/quote]
In high school my go-to Thanksgiving television was always The X-files marathon. I think every year "Home" was voted into the marathon & it was shoved back to 11pm to allow people to digest their meals prior to viewing.

Home was indeed creepy and badly needed the baa ram ewe moment. Mulder looked at her like she was nuts.
Johnny Mathis, a big old convertible and newborn babies being buried alive. Weirdness.

Home has held up remarkably well as a seriously messed up hour of television. Even if it aired today I think it would still be shocking.
I liked The X-Files pretty much all the way through, I even liked the Doggett years. But it felt like at some point they stopped trying to make really scary episodes. I'm not sure if it was the move to LA or just they ran out of ideas but the later seasons didn't have as many freaky episodes. I liked the funny episodes but I preferred the creepy ones. My favorites were the ones with a group of people in a remote area being killed by something unleashed by nature. Ice, Darkness Falls, Firewalker. And then there were the ones with the serial killers like Irresistible and the one with the guy who was lobotomizing women with the ice pick. Oh and the Satanic teachers scared the crap out of me! I'd like to do a re-watch but I'd probably have to skip all the mythology episodes. Even the first time around they bored me. I think up to season 3 they were okay and then they just got too convoluted.
