highly recommended

great fun, not as heavy as x-files, and very, very funny

Lone gunmen compliation is great. Very, very funny, wry and amusing. Not as heavy as x-files. Enjoy this witty offshoot which stands up to repeated screenings, because of the wit and humor.

Surprisingly Good

I went into The Lone Gunmen with limited expectations. After completing the series I must say I am thoroughly impressed. It seems that a series of this type (a spinoff from the popular series The X-Files) has huge potential to bomb and while it was canceled by Fox the episodes themselves were very good and very original.

I've seen some compare this series to The X-Files which I don't think is fair in any sense. There are no monster mysteries here, mostly conspiracies that need to be uncovered. The cast is very good (especially with the addition of Eve and Jimmy Bond, both excellent characters) and the writing behind the show is top-notch and very funny for a majority of the episodes.

I highly recommend this series to those who enjoyed any Chris Carter creation. Like most of his post X-Files series (excluding Millenium) this was canceled into it's first season but the episodes that are here are very good. Also recommended: Harsh Realm and Millenium.

Good Entertainment

These are good shows and are good entertainment. Some of the stuff is a little corny; but, that is in Lone Gunmen fashion. It's definitely good entertainment.

The Surprising Series, "Lone Gunmen"

I didn't have high expectations from this series, though I enjoyed the Lone Gunmen within the X-files context. The first episode set a tone, less than serious, but with serious undertones, which carried through the series. Still, what sticks with me most is the element of surprise. Each episode contained scenes that provoked outright laughter, sometimes because they were set up well and culminated in a great gag, other times because the gag burst, like a bolt out of the blue, onto the unsuspecting audience. There were revelations of a more serious nature as well. Sadly, the series was cancelled just as the writers, cast, and crew started to really bring everything together. The series wrap played out as an episode of X-files and is included with the DVD series. While the last season of X-files was but a pale shadow of its former self, when the "Jump the Shark" episode is viewed as the series finale for "Lone Gunmen", it worked very well and provided a surprising, yet fitting end to the tale of the misfit trio.
