the only time this show was interesting was when he was missing

A very interesting fellow.

Headcase. Needs a whole team of therapists. Top candidate for the FBI's equivalent of a Section 8 discharge.

Special Agent Fox Spooky Mulder (David Duchovny) of the F.B.I. was assigned (with his more grounded partner) to research and solve odd crimes and events that could not be explained by conventional investigative and forensic methods (ie the X-Files). Mulder was brilliant, unconventional, and full of dry wit, yet he was rather excessive-compulsive which was reflected in his usual apathy towards feminine attentions. With this type of eccentric, non-macho character development, Mulder was in many way a completely different detective from the typical Hollywood stereotype. The X-Files was originally broadcast from 1993 to 2003; however, Duchovny quit the show as a regular cast member in 2001.

A brilliant and enigmatic FBI agent who investigated what were called X-Files, bizarre cases that had no logical explanation.
