This excerpt is from an interview with Howard Gordon in SF TODAY:

"Writer-producer Howard Gordon has been behind some of the best genre shows on television, including 24, THE X-FILES and STRANGE WORLD, which debuts on SCI FI channel Feb. 8 with 10 never-before-seen episodes."

Of all the shows you've done, what's been the most fun to work on?

Gordon: Probably the most fun was Beauty and the Beast. And part of that must have been because I was in my 20s and I really had a connection to the show and got a chance to write and produce. Although 24 is actually rivaling it. X-Files was certainly the best learning experience. I think it was the most challenging show. I learned the most. Buffy and Angel were, I think, a little outside my wheelhouse. In other words, I was consulting on the show and producing it occasionally, but I never got invested in them the same way. Partly because I was either coming or going because of my deal with Fox. I loved them. I'm a huge fan. But I never felt like I got both shoulders behind the wheel and pushed. Where with these other ones, Beauty and the Beast, The X-Files and certainly 24, I'm really one of the founding fathers of those shows.
