Honestly the obviously outdated electronics they used didn’t bother me too much as the scenes between Mulder/scully and the monster of the week stuff is so memorable

It’ll be interesting to see how Fringe holds up a decade from now

TXF may also suffer from being a bit dated. They had a lot of technology in their everyday scenes - computers and cell phones and such - that are old enough to be obviously from pre-Y2K. Ironically, they were most likely doing it to give the show a more futuristic, "science-y" feel. As those technologies have advanced, having things like old IBM dual-disk computers and flip phones scattered throughout the episodes tends to make people think the show is funny. Fringe has tech, too, but it's not as pervasive. Mulder had his old-fashioned cell phone practically glued to his ear.

I believe "Fringe" will stand the test of time like the other sci-fi series have.

If the writing is good, viewers will overlook the outdated electronics.

"The Twilight Zone" and "Dark Shadows" are prime examples of this.

However unfortunately, I do think future viewers of "The X-Files" will find those old IBM dual-disk computers and flip phones scattered throughout the episodes to be funny.

However, I believe they will also take into consideration that this was a state-of-the-art series for the era in which it aired.

Interesting. I like how they talk about all the pitfalls they learned about from other shows - and tried to avoid.
