After years of playing second fiddle to Agents Mulder and Scully on  The X-Files, the trio of computer-hacking conspiracy geeks popularly known as The Lone Gunmen are finally heading out on their own. Never ones to stray far from the center of corporate and government intrigue, the threesome play like a misguided Mission Impossible team, embarking on a series of comic adventures that simultaneously highlight their genius and ineptitude.

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
danjamz Ironically the very Lone Gunmen episode was not part of this series - it was The X-Files season 5 episode 3 "Unusual Suspects". I think this series failed largely because it tried to be too different to the show that gave birth to it. Whereas Millennium was created separately and only merged into The X-Files universe for it's finale, The Lone Gunmen were created solely for the purposes of The X-Files and they fitted in perfectly.Alas with their spin-off series, the producers decided to make it far more silly and incompetent. They created the perfect recipe, but decided to change it with the spin-off. If they had kept the edgy tone of The X-Files and called it The X-Files: Lone Gunmen, we might have had quite a few more seasons to enjoy.
David J. Glenn This show is great, i expected it to suck. The first two episodes bored me, but once other characters were added into the mix, and they all flowed well together the show went from a three, to an eight.I thought i'd hate this, but i was way wrong. If you're "Thinking" about watching this, STOP! Just watch the show, it's amazing. Characters are awesome, plots are unique and different, most of the show is unpredictable, and it's a damn shame this show didn't get more time.But that's what Fox does, cancels good shows because they don't know how to market and advertise. Oh, and they keep putting shows on Friday, the death trap of television shows!
thebigeasy540_ The Lone Gunmen had the potential as a x-files spin off to be very good indeed.However this didn't come to fruition.Don't get me wrong.Some of the episodes were quite credible.The main problem is most of the story lines fall flat on their faces.The idea of a blind American football team?C'mon give us viewers some creditI know it's a dramatic approach away from the x-files and supposed to be light hearted but still.The idea of the show is the transplantation of the popular Lone Gunmen trio Frohike,Langly and Byers from the x-files to their own spin off show and see what the characters are really like in their own wacky environment.No doubt everyone wanted it to work,but it didn't.The highlights however are limited to the appearances of guest stars and fellow x-filers Mitch Pileggi and David Duchovny.These appearances breathed much needed life into the show.On the whole though it suffered from lazy writing and highly questionable humour.This is reflected in it's one series life
Roddy-15 What was going through the minds of the people who canceled this show? Probably a conspiracy perpetrated by people who are plotting to destroy television by allowing bad shows like Off Centre to stay and getting rid of good ones like ¨Dead Last¨, ¨Maybe it´s me¨ and ¨Night Visions¨.The Lone Gunmen was funny, the characters were great, the action was good. After watching the first season, I became convinced that the show would last for as long as the X-files has. Sadly it is gone.
