According to a report on the Sci-Fi Wire site, "X-Files" creator Chris Carter told them that it was his decision to end the hit series. According to the report, Carter told them that he made the choice during the Christmas holidays because of the increasing drop in the "X-Files" ratings.

Its season premiere, part one of "Nothing Important Happened Today," went up against "Saving Private Ryan" along with an "I Love Lucy" special and the second part of "Nothing Important Happened Today" went up against a Britney Spears concert. Carter also reportedly told Sci-Fi Wire that he hopes that people will say, "God, we'll really miss this show." The two-hour finale, entitled "The Truth," will air on FOX on May 19th.
