The X-Files How old were you when you started watching the X Files?

Ok so The X Files season 1 started airing in 1993. I was just 2 yrs old at the time lol. So I obviously didn't started watching it back then :)
I'm actually rather new to the whole X Files world :) I just started watching the episodes about 6 months ago (starting with the Pilot) and fell in love with them immediately!
How about you?
When did you first start watching the XF and how old were you at the time? Which episode did you first see?

I remember promos for the show that I've seen on TV and I always thought that it must be a pretty scary show lol :)
but then I became a huge fan of Bones and since that show is always being compared to XF I decided to give it a try :D Glad I did :D :D

I think I was around 11 or something. My first episode was Ice. My mom let me stay up a little longer one Friday night and I was channel surfing and came upon this show and I was immidiately hooked. Thank goodness for re-runs during the summer, because back then there were no DVDs and I had no internet to watch the earlier episodes. It's been 15 years since then and I think I love the show even more now than I did back then. I love it to the point where I had an X and a quote from the show tattooed on my body :)

XF aired in Poland first a bit later than in US, so that's why it's been 'only' 15 years.

I've been thinking of getting a tattoo myself (probably my wrist). But I haven't decided yet :)
Which part of Poland are you from? I've been there once but I've only been to Warsaw. Man that city is beautiful! I loved it and I could understand some Polish since our languages have a lot of similarities :)

thanks cicino.

@JstSmA, I hate Warsaw, it's too big, too loud and too dirty. I come from north of Poland, from town that name is too difficult to pronounce for everybody but polish people ;) you can check my profile and google it on the map :)

Like the original poster, i was only 2 years old when The X Files started airing. I watched my first episode (a few episodes into the first season) about the beginning of 2009. Me and mum flicked on the tv one day and it was just beginning and she said I would love it since i like CSI, Bones, Criminal Minds etc, and i did! but it was on at such an incovenient time, during the day while i was at school, that i didnt watch anymore til the winter july holidays,when i once again flicked on the tv an it was on, it was the first episode of season 8 and i got hooked. I have seen every episode atleast once and the movies countless times. I own the series on DVD, have for almost a year now :)

God I feel so old reading all your replies! I started watching the X Files in 2008 for something to do while recovering from a serious operation. Bought the whole series and the first film on DVD. I loved it and have been hooked ever since. I was(cough)53 years old at the time. Completly avoided watching it when it first aired on UK TV in the 90's but regret that now.

I started watching X files when I was 12. Casually watched few episodes on and off till I saw "Duane Berry". I was completely and incorrigibly obsessed about the x files and Mulder and Scully for life.

I think I started watching it when I was like 7 or 8.
