(Just looking, I notice that the X-Files started the fall after the QL series finale. They didn’t overlap but really interesting dynamic in the zeitgeist.)

You can imagine the note they gave Mike Post—“We’re in the fifth season now, the scope of the show is a lot bigger, we aren’t really playing up the comedy bits, first episode is a trilogy on the JFK assassination, we are going for a more epic, cinematic feel…”
