This sounds like Speculative Troping (note the "probably"). If someone has a source for this, please let me know, but otherwise I'm removing for now. The reason for Season 6 having so many funny episodes might simply have been because early comedy episodes such as "Humbug" and "Bad Blood" were so well-received, that it encouraged them to do more. As in, it might've been of their own choice and not necessarily the result of executive meddling.

* ExecutiveMeddling: For reasons never made clear, Carter ordered a slate of comedy episodes to open the first half of the sixth season, in contradiction to his original intent to pick up from ''Fight the Future''. That his new boss came to Fox from Comedy Central (and made no secret of his dislike of Carter) probably had something to do with it.

** The legendary outsider musician Skip Spence, who had been a former member of Music/JeffersonAirplane and Moby Grape before retiring from the music industry entirely due to his battles with mental illness and drug addiction, was asked to contribute a song to the ''Songs In The Key of X'' soundtrack. Despite being a ReclusiveArtist living in a trailer, he agreed, hoping he could get his life back on track. He did an absolutely bonkers song called "Land of the Sun" that was rejected for being "too scary", it was later included at the end of a Skip Spence tribute album. Spence died in 1999 from lung cancer, and "Land of the Sun" became one of his last known recordings.

** In season two, Scully wore a lot of trench-coats and stood behind a lot of desks while Creator/GillianAnderson was pregnant. Then she got abducted by aliens while Anderson was giving birth (i.e. she was absent from that episode). During this time there were a few shots of her being examined aboard the alien ship, including one where it looked like the aliens were pumping her belly full of air. Scully spent the next episode in a coma; by the next episode, she was walking and talking again.

* RealLifeWritesTheHairstyle: Creator/GillianAnderson wore a wig in the reboot. This was reportedly due to her going blonde for ''Series/TheFall,'' and being told that dying her hair to Scully's red and bleaching it again to Stella Gibson's platinum blonde would cause hair loss. Fans were not fond of the wig and were confused, since Scully had also been blonde (though strawberry blonde, closer to Anderson's natural color) in ''I Want to Believe,'' and no explanation for why had been given either in-universe or otherwise.
