Tales from the Crypt, if you don't mind horror anthology tv-shows. For those who don't know it's not really "scary" horror but more like macabre and sometimes supernatural. The episodes usually have a "bad ending", which I like, and I think it works well with the relatively short episodes that are usually less than 30 minutes. A lot of well known actors in it too.

>>14908 The conspiracy episodes aged great, it was a bit too obscure when I watched the original run.

>>14986 have you heard of the spinoff? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lone_Gunmen_(TV_series)#Similarities_to_9/11_attacks_in_pilot_storyline

It's really great. I remember being SmolBernd and accidently stumble upon an episode on TV during some late BBQ at our house. Damn I nearly shat myself from being scared. Then I started to watch it on Prime and about halfway through those suckers removed it. I'm still in the dark if Scully and Mulder every... probed each other instead of being probed by aliums.

>>15035 It's on Disney Plus or just torrent

Cigarette Smoking Man episodes are great. Feels like you're finally going to get some answers. Nope. Just more questions.

>>15036 Too stingy for D+ and too lazy to setup a torrent client. Also if you enjoy peak 90s/Y2K TV, I recommend Farscape as my all time favorite show. Just ignore the rather cheaply produced first season, they were still trying like the doods over with TNG and their first season did.

>>15038 then bs.to https://bs.to/serie/Akte-X

>>15039 Now that's an effort I can justify to myself. Thanks!

some of my favorites from the time are: Star Trek The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Stargate SG1

>>15120 Next Generation was smarter than real life is today.

>>15120 >you will never reenact famous battles with your mates in the holosuite Good times

>>15123 I would do a lot more in the holodeck than that. Honestly, I would probably never leave

>>15122 TNG is about if humans were actually rational and reasonable beings it was nice as a kid

I thought it was crap even back then.

it is indeed i liked 90s late night tv, sadly i have no names to share because they never said them and usually the opening with the name was cut

>>15126 This actor was great.

I watched like 10 episodes until now and I have to say the couple of first episodes are better than the last ones I watched. Curious to see how the rest of the season is. t. OP

>>15222 if you like the story arc, I got bad news for you. it doesn't really go anywhere. so better get used to the monster-of-the-week stuff. Story arc seasons 1-5 + movie are fine but then you might as well stop caring because it becomes increasingly clear that the writers have no idea where they're taking it and just come with shit as they go.

Xfiles is a bretty damn good show

Never saw it, but i played the Playstation game as a child. Ernst watched Twin Peaks a while back. 9.9/10

Scully is so cute :3

Scully's watch is also nice. Do you think a man could wear this?

>>15436 i have had sexual intercourse with detective scully

>>15446 Evil product placement

>>14908 I'm old enough to remember when The X Files were on their first run on TV. It was friggin great, and even though I was terrified of aliens and shit, I loved most of it. Anything past Season 4 is kinda nose-diving in terms of quality, though. Anything beyond season 7 is essentially a different show and not worth watching, imo.

I am nearing the end of the first season and the overall quality of the episodes has been quite decent. Nothing mindblowing, but there have been some excellent episodes. And the duo Mulder and Scully is just perfect, I think they fit very well together. The early 90s vibes are also very comfy.

>Does Bernd like this show as well? It's pretty decent. >Do you know any other comfy American shows from the 90s? Voyager, Quantum Leap, Sliders, and may be something called Dark Skies but I don't remember much about it.

>Do you know any other comfy American shows from the 90s? I watch early Edition/Alleine gegen die Zukunft to fall asleep atm. Very 90s and slowpaced, perfect to let everything fade away. After Im finished I will go for Quantum Leap (good Recommendation btw). My absolute favourite was Parker Lewis and the 90s Look of it always hits the Feels.

>>15846 https://youtu.be/eDrMkMBKze8?t=166 Posting hate memes about the Jews back in 1997, well before imageboards were invented. I recognise that Jew drawing, so that's where it all started.

>>15854 I think it's a bit older than that...

>>15170 Origin of that opinion: I had watched a monster of the week episode after hearing all that hype. So now I thought of giving it a second chance and downloaded the first two episodes of the first season. The first one was actually quite good! But I have read that: - only about 1/10th of the episodes advance the "main" storyline (and I think I dislike monster of the week) - OF COURSE the final resolution of many of the questions is iT iS a mYstErY... I *hate* that about many series The plan now is to watch until I run into too many bad episodes. Might happen by S1E3. Let's see. What I really enjoy is the "peak Western world" vibes of the show. The 90s were such an optimistic time. There were so few real world problems, they had to come up with trouble from outer space! Americans were even driving mostly sedans at the time. These sedans had a kind of understated (and slightly oversized) coolness instead of the currently popular BRAWNDO PEDESTRIAN KILLDOZER looks.

>>16059 That's what I like with House M.D., it just has a more or less coherent and nice ending. Farscape too if you include the 2 part TV movie which sadly crammed nearly a season worth of story advancing episodes into too little time.

>>16059 As a slightly autistic kid I wouldn't have realized at the time, but damn, Mulder and Scully have such a strong chemistry - you can basically see, hear, and smell the sparks flying. It seems silly that the writers took so long to let them be a couple. Also Scully seems more like a really cool "pretty enough" gf than a hottie (would not wank to now), and I like Mulder's slightly nerdy quiet confidence.

One episode to go and then I'm finished with Season 1.

My wife

There are scenes in the first few episodes of Season 1 where Mulder casually guides Scully with his hand not far above her ass in situations like "we're done here, let's leave" or even just "it's this way". That was in no way normal among "just colleagues" even in the 90s. Pretty weird to keep that, and all the other stuff, up for so long without them having wild sexo in their time off and sometimes on the toilet at work. Or that scene where Scully is disappointed by Mulder leaving her alone on a long, boring drive. That little "aw no" sigh was pretty cute tbh.

>>16563 >Or that scene where Scully is disappointed by Mulder leaving her alone on a long, boring drive. That little "aw no" sigh was pretty cute tbh. I remember… I will look for the exact episode and make a webm out of it, if it’s any good.

I love her so much, it's unreal, Bernd bros. Look at that cute little pouty face at the end.

>>15455 Just realized she also wore another watch in the first season: seems to be a Timex Iron Man, looks pretty good.

>>16563 She's saying ohhh. Goddess.

Every other episode Mulder finds his sister but then not really after all. It gets boring pretty quick.

Scully is a cute. Cute!

>>16585 What’s so great about her - and I think I repeat myself but whatever - is that she’s the right kind of beautiful and cute. She doesn’t look like a super model or otherworldly perfect. She has perfectly natural beauty that really shines through her imperfections. And the character’s personality fits really well into that.

>>16586 Well said.

If this was scripted, it's incredibly good acting. If not their chemistry feels very natural.

>>16607 X-Files is basically the best love story I have ever seen because it's so understated yet obvious with very few of the typical clichés and tropes. Also, a Bernd can learn a *lot* about eye contact and honest romance from it, not the predatory PUA stuff for which you need to be a bit of a sociopath anyway. It's like even if I could, I wouldn't want to do that. I regret not watching it with gf when I had one, we did watch stuff together and discussed characters but none of them felt that real and, frankly, cute and adorable (yes both, no homo). Of course, Mulder and Scully's composure and cool (and aloofness, reportedly one of the few things INTPs have going for them in dating) in so many difficult situations is unrealistic. They are also both shown to be sensitive and caring with children, which is also not something you often find in real life nerdy types. They are nevertheless fantastic role models for nerds, even though they are bordering on Mary Sue characters. They aren't The Best And Always Win, but they are always good people. The laundry list of why they are so good is getting ridiculous, but I just remembered two more things: with how much casual respect they treated two obvious stoner kids and (Mulder alone) some homeless people and one guy in particular. He fucking gave him the keys to his motel room while he stayed at his place to wait for the "monster". Again unrealistic (the guy could have parasites or steal), but exceedingly nice.

What in the actual fuck of fucks, this is either the geniusest of acting (it IS a TV show), or their natural chemistry is stronger than oxygen and hydrogen. The way she buries her face on his shoulder when her slippery jokes embarrass her is the cutest thing. https://youtu.be/BgEN1t4jPRE?si=U2qgt28JhGv-U6Sj
