Talk about a facade (at that point in the show, at least). Also, the aliases that Mulder and Scully chose for this undercover assignment were taken from The Dick Van Dyke Show.

X-Files and Suburbia
All our talk about suburbia and its oft-dark underbelly reminded me of an X-Files episode called "Arcadia," where Mulder and Scully, as a married couple, infiltrate a suburban community that has had a slough of recent murders. It definitely has the eerie Pleasantville vibe, and I'd suggest that its mystery/suspense elements mirror Ford's book well enough to warrant a comparison.
