** ''Series/KolchakTheNightStalker'', share similarities as both are MonsterOfTheWeek cop shows with a supernatural twist. Several ''X-Files'' episodes are directly inspired by ''Kolchak'' episodes.
** It also has much in common with ''The Omega Factor'', a 1979 [[Creator/TheBBC BBC Scotland]] drama about a psychic newspaperman and a physicist (''Series/DoctorWho'''s Creator/LouiseJameson) working for a government ParanormalInvestigation department. Said department is also infiltrated by a vast conspiracy organization with designs on world domination, through very different methods.
** Given it's influence, it has several shows of it's own, including ''Series/{{Fringe}}'', ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'', ''Series/{{Lost}}'', ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' and many other ParanormalInvestigation programs. ''Fringe'' in particular so closely resembled ''X-Files'' that it was criticized by fans as being a ripoff of the original.
** It also influenced the mood and writing of less obviously related shows like ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' (which Joss Whedon described as ''Series/MySoCalledLife'' meets ''The X-Files''), ''Series/{{Alias}}'', ''Series/{{Bones}}'' and ''Series/EleventhHour''.
