Millennium (TV Series)
''Millennium'' is an American television series created by Chris Carter (creator of ''The X-Files''), which aired on Fox from October 25, 1996, to May 21, 1999. The series follows the investigations of ex-FBI agent Frank Black (Lance Henriksen), now a consultant, with the ability to see inside the minds of criminals, working for a mysterious organization known as the Millennium Group. The series was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, though most episodes were ostensibly set in or around Seattle, Washington. The theme music was composed by Mark Snow, who also created the distinctive theme music for ''The X-Files''. Although the series premiered with impressive ratings, viewership declined throughout its three-season run, and it was canceled by Fox in early 1999. A seventh-season episode of ''The X-Files'', titled "Millennium", featured the Millennium Group and Frank Black, as a way of giving the show some closure. In 2018, ''Millennium'' was ranked #87 in Rotten Tomatoes's ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Sister Show
Sister shows, also known as companion series, are two or more television series which exist in the same fictional universe and which may have crossovers. They differ to a degree from spin-offs, in that they are established independently from one another. The popularity of most series is limited to a few seasons, and sister shows allow expanding the immediate audience and ratings share. This is accomplished by using mostly different actors and production facilities. Sister shows often shift styles or target audience slightly, for a larger overall market. Thus ''The Beverly Hillbillies'' emphasizes slapstick, while '' Green Acres'' emphasizes surreal humor. Examples * ''Arrow'', ''Constantine'', ''The Flash'', '' Black Lightning'', ''Supergirl'', ''Legends of Tomorrow'' and ''Batwoman''. * '' Daredevil'', ''The Punisher'', '' Jessica Jones'', '' Iron Fist'', ''Luke Cage'', and '' The Defenders''. * ''The Real World'' and ''Road Rules'' * '' Band of Brothers'' and '' The Pacific''. * ...
