thorvindr Okay. Seriously. This show was cancelled for the same reason every good Fox show (with the exception of the Simpsons and the X-Files) gets cancelled. BECAUSE FOX IS A CRAPPY NETWORK!!! By now, you should no better than to get attached to anything that's been on the Fox network less than three seasons. Until they start that third season, the show could get cancelled at any time. Once you hit season three, you're pretty much made.The Fox Network executives simply do not know good television. They cancel shows like Firefly (whole other can of worms), Family Guy (repeatedly) and Greg the Bunny, while keeping garbage like American Idol and the Simpsons. Okay. That needs a qualifier. The Simpsons used to be good. Now, they've run out of material and the show is just boring.Anyway. That's the end of my rant. Have a nice day. Don't watch Fox.
gk-31 The Lone Gunmen surpassed the X-Files in every conceivable way. It was witty, intelligent, not your typical knuckle-dragger fodder. Parodying many elements of the parent series (as well as other films, such as Mission Impossible or The Green Mile) it was not afraid to poke fun at its self, a refreshing change from the pomposity into which the X-Files too frequently lapsed. Jimmy Bond proved the perfect foil for the antics of Byers, Langley and Frohike with his wholesome apple-pie sense of justice (difficult to play with a straight face, I imagine). I really am at a loss as to why it should have been cancelled since it displayed great potential. Perhaps its initial release came too close to the end of the X-Files, perhaps viewers were suffering from X-Files fatigue. All I can do is recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the adventures of the trio in the original.
Erdem G X-Files started off well but quickly turned into an overrated pathetic show. The Lonegunmen was a much better show and it should have lasted longer than just 13 episodes. Just when it had me hanging on the edge of my seat it got canceled. It was really annoying because it's exactly what happened with The Chronicle: News From the Edge! I can't believe the made a DVD of it. Even though i thought The LGM was an average show the first time I watched it, by the next couple of episodes i really started to enjoy it. It was a very entertaining show because it had a good mix of comedy, drama and sci-fi. Jimmy was a very good inclusion to the cast.
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.
