TV Shows/Movies that remind you of X-Files

I was randomly watching trailers online and I found this Apple - Trailers - The Signal - Trailer - Medium. The plot is exactly what happens in Wetwired but at a larger scale. I know there's a movie that predates Wetwired about TV controlling people (forget the name) but I don't think that involved a signal that actually makes people kill or am I wrong?

Anyway just wanted to know if anyone else has seen movies or TV shows that are suspiciously like The X-Files?

I was just wondering... didn't we have a similar thread before?

I remember I made a point for Lost and Jericho being strongly influenced by XF, but not copying necessarily...
And I don't think I have seen anything that reminded me of the X-Files in general or a certain ep...

Ray Romano hit the sitcom stratosphere with this gem based on his stand-up routine. It's about a Long Island sportswriter and his intrusive parents, who live (in)conveniently across the street from him, his wife and their three children.

Bones definitely reminds me of the X-Files. The chemistry between Booth and Brennan is similar to Mulder and Scully.

I think the first 3 seasons of 'Smallville' resembled the X-fiels quite a bit.
There was the 'Freak of the week' concept, plus 'mytharc' episodes interspersed (but Superman mythology instead of government conspiracies, of course.....).
Plus, Marc Snow was in charge of the music.

Unfortunately, Smallville sucks now......

I accidentally watched a fairly new epi of "Stargate SG-1" today, in which they made a reference to the X-files as well!!!

I was watching Constantine yesterday and OMG never noticed before how many character similarities there are. Constantine/Angela have the same will they won't they relationship tease as M&S, Balthazar very similar to Krycek, and Constantine's friends are LGM-like.

Agree Actually the shows are completely different, but the dynamic between the two main characters is what makes it look similar

Prison Break
The conspiracy in the first couple of seasons and now they have a character without a hand.

I would never have thought of Prison Break. But they do have some things in common.

And I agree about Booth and Brennan. Booth even says in the first episode "Spit in my hand, we're Mulder and Scully!".
