In the world of TV, The X-Files and Breaking Bad are basically family.

This, of course, is not new information. But the people over at FUN.com have put together a delightful graphic that helps spell it out for you in celebration of The X-Files' return, which drew in a huge 13.5 million viewers in overnight ratings.
