That said, X-Files ran into the same situation. The show dragged on too long and by the time the final season rolled around, I wasn't even interested anymore. There were some good episodes after the first film (which was awful, IMO) and there were some atrocious episodes.

I think that a six episode arc, if well written, could be spectacular and if so, it would be a blast to see even just six episodes a year for a few years.

Fingers crossed (although without Vince Gilligan, I have my doubts).
I loved the series (X Files) and thought it deserved a movie or two to wrap things up. The desire by fans was there.

But they didn't wrap things up. It seemed like they approached the films like getting two extra episodes. And I didn't like either one.

Either way I think both shows were excellent for their time. I'd love to see another similar show in the next few years that uses the basic premise (X Files/Fringe) to explore strange things with more modern science.

I also wouldn't mind an update to the "Sliders" idea of visiting a multiverse or parallel worlds...

I remember liking the first season, although the VFX were amazingly cheesey. But after that, I lost track of it and once I revisited it, it was completely different.

Yeah, it fell of the tracks late in season 2 but I watched it anyway. Cheesy but enjoyable.
