ABC's new show about something creepy in the jungle isn't the first to try to scare TV viewers
The show aired from 1993 to 2002 and followed FBI agents Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) and Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) as they investigated cases involving the paranormal. Scully takes a more pragmatic approach to their encounters, while Mulder believes in aliens and other phenomena. While the show often featured a new case each episode, there were also plots that ran throughout the series, such as Mulder and Scully's battles against the mysterious villain, the Cigarette-Smoking Man.
