I do love that series, and I miss it. We are watching the DVDs now. I never really expected the pilot would have seen the light of day again after 9/11. The show seems more up to date now than it did when it aired. Who else wants to talk about why this was a cool series?
I always liked the Lone Gunmen when they appeared in X-Files episodes, and I did like the series. I felt that Fox didn’t give the show the time it deserved to hit its stride / find itself / mature / iron out its rough spots / whatever.
I was sorely disappointed when it was (seemingly) prematurely cancelled.
Nice to see it’s on DVD - guess I’ll put it in my Netflix queue now.
Aye! waves hand
I loved that show! Didn’t know it was out on DVD. Thanx for the info.
My favorite episode was “Tango de los Pistoleros.” What a delicious mixture of laughter, intrigue, and sadness.
It’s on DVD? Yeah!!

I ordered this from Amazon about a week ago. I have only had time to see the pilot episode so far. It really was a great conspiracy-oriented humorous, witty show. I look forward to watching more of the comedic episodes later – the pilot was not as humorous as the later episodes, I remember.
How many episodes of the series were aired? I do remember the pilot, but to be honest I don’t remember even a second episode being shown.
Plus, how can you have Lone (singular) Gunmen (plural)?
Conspiracies were their forte, not grammar.

The Tango episode is my personal favorite. My husband loved the darker qualities of the pilot. I am so fond of the characters that I can’t watch the season 7 X-files episode that wraps up the Lone Gunmen storyline. You just don’t see enough comedy/action/conspiracy stories on TV.
I enjoyed the show too. Too bad Fox has such a history of killing good shows.
I wish i could find my tape of that episode with the 9/11 parallel.
I ordered the DVDs yesterday. I didn’t appreciate the show when it was on (only saw 1/2 of the pilot), because I’d just started watching the X-Files then and was annoyed that this spin-off show about characters I didn’t know anything about was prempting the show I was really getting in to. But I love the XF episodes they were in, so I decided to buy the series to give it a watch. I’m sure I’ll be entertained this time around.
I write X-Files fanfics and…
Yeah, I wish they hadn’t cancelled Lone Gunmen. That and Special Unit 2, another under-appreciated gem of a series.
I blaim Chris Carter for wanting to quit The X-files so that he could in his words “surf more” and Duchovny who had to pursue his ticket to big time Hollywood fame and fortune. Dave made a briliant career move with that one. The Lone Gunmen rocked and could if nothing else have served as a bridge to a new X-files at some point in the future.
