On the 1993 - 2002 U.S. Fox Network TV series "The X-Files", the UFO poster in Fox Mulder's office had the phrase “I want to believe”. This was a core sentiment of the show and its viewers. The iconic poster with its phrase was seen on the show as it hung above the desk of FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny). He was the guy who was everyone’s favorite socially isolated, orally fixated, and paranoid insomniac alien chaser.

When "The X-Files" became a hit in the mid-’90s, the “I Want To Believe” poster could be found in many of the homes of people who were self-respecting X-Philes. It was a special link to the show and a large number of Mulder’s hopeful followers. It was the tortured conviction that the truth was out there in the universe, shrouded in conspiracy, just waiting to be uncovered.
