Chris Carter stated in an interview that he wanted to reintroduce The X-files to a younger audience that missed out on this stellar show during it's nine year run. Sure, he's going to make money.
But he's going to make money because The X-files was a great show that set a high standard for supernatural T.V. series. The X-files raised production values for T.V. as far as I'm concerned. It was one of the few shows that looked like a professional movie every week. The special effects were generally top notch, the direction was very good, the writing was consistently great, the cinematography was more like a movie than a T.V. series, and it was just one of those milestone shows that changed T.V. and our expectations of a supernatural T.V. show.
There still isn't a show on today that is as good as The X-files. I'm glad Carter is bringing it back. I bet there are a ton of X-file fans like myself who wanted more. I wish Duchovny had never grown tired of the role. I wanted that show to go on forever. I still haven't found a supernatural show I like as much as The X-files.
