The other day I finished (finally) watching the Yahoo Screen sponsored (produced?) season of community.  I am not sure if this is the series finale, but the little bit at the end was hilarious :-) I don't think there is a spoiler, but if there is, you've been warned:

Είναι μερικές τηλεοπτικές σειρές οι οποίες άρχισαν να μεταδίδονται στην τηλεόραση όταν μετακόμισα πάλι στην Αμερική. Μία από αυτές τις σειρές ήταν το X-Files. Το X-files ήταν βασικά σαν ένα φιλαράκι. Αρχικά δεν ήξερα τι έπαιζε
