Our latest episode looks at the making and unmaking of Millennium (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031125239/http://www.jumptheshark.com/m/millennium.htm), and how Fox’s biggest drama premiere became one of the strangest genre shows of the '90s.
What started as Chris Carter’s dark follow-up to The X-Files quickly turned into a grim crime series about a former FBI profiler, a secret organization, and a world crawling towards the year 2000.
With a massive launch, strong early ratings, Golden Globe attention, creative shake-ups, falling numbers, fan campaigns, DVD releases, comic continuations, and revival talk that never quite happened, Millennium (https://web.archive.org/web/20140401045815/http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/topic/3114378-millennium/?view=getnewpost) had a much messier run than most people remember.
