Product Description
From X-Files creator Chris Carter, The Lone Gunmen Complete Series - get inside the trio of X-Files computer-hacking geeks popularly known as The Lone gunmen in the perfect DVD for all X-Files fans. Experience the altered world and suspenseful action that will keep you watching!
Amazon.com
The Lone Gunmen was the short-lived spin-off series starring those scene-stealing conspiracy theorists from The X-Files. To recap, there is buttoned-down Byers (the bearded, relatively normal-looking one, played by Bruce Harwood), the "man of action" Frohike (the short one who had the hots for Scully, played by Tom Braidwood), and master hacker Langly (the one with the long blond hair, played by Dean Haglund). They also meet some new characters who both help and hinder: a female agent calling herself Yves Adele Harlow (and other anagrams for Lee Harvey Oswald, played by Zuleikha Robinson), who always seems a step ahead of them, and James "Jimmy" Bond (Stephen Snedden), the dimwitted benefactor who thinks that the Gunmen give him a purpose in life.
The series lasted a mere 13 episodes, and in retrospect probably plays better now than it did in the spring of 2001 when the peak years of The X-Files were still fresh in the memory. Thanks to direction and writing by the same creative talent and music by Mark Snow, The Lone Gunmen has the feel of Chris Carter's signature series, though without the impenetrable mythology and the sexual tension (Robinson is beautiful, but let's be serious). The episodes are generally stand-alone affairs reflecting the goofy humor that made the trio part of the comic relief in The X-Files. Light-hearted topics include a blind football team and a super-intelligent chimpanzee, but the closing episode dealt with the familiar themes of alien abduction and government cover-ups (a thread that after the series' cancellation had to be concluded in an episode of The X-Files, which is also included in this set). And particularly chilling is the pilot: aired six months before 9/11, it deals with an attempt to fly an airplane into the World Trade Center. The Lone Gunmen couldn't match the brilliant inspiration of The X-Files (few shows could), but for fans it might just be the next best thing. --David Horiuchi

Yves Adele Harlow, an amazing agent/spy/whatever she wants to be! I love how strong and well written her character is.
Jimmy Bond, amazingly hysterical, wanna-be member of the lone gunman.
Some other characters exist, but i don't want to spoil anything. It was an amazing show, that makes me very sad that there aren't more.

Loved this show - it's a shame they only made one season.
Probably the most memorable event of the series is the pilot episode in which they stop an airliner crashing into the World trade centre, six months before the real events of 9/11. Unfortunately, while the series is still great viewing, it now lacks the edge given to it by being tied in and shown along with its parent series, The ‘X Files’. Another issue is that their quirky nature soon gave way to them being cast as buffoons rather than the skilled paranoid geeks they originally were.
Still, in my book, a worthy ***** view. No doubt, if you’re an ‘X Files’ fan, you probably already have this in your collection. Newcomers to them may not ‘get’ some of the gags and references and will probably see this as a mediocre *** humorous detective series in the mould of ‘Human Target’.
The feel of the season is very much like the quirkier episodes of X-Files.
The 3 "Gunmen" are really engaging characters, and I doubt there will be anyone who watches this series who is not already familiar with them from the X-Files. There were 2 new characters though, both of whom seemed pretty one-dimensional at first. The first is the coach of a blind football team, who isn't the most penetrating ray-gun in the intellectual armoury. The second is an all-action woman with a cut-glass English accent, who seemed to me to be a Lara Croft wannabe in civvies. But as the season wore on, I warmed to them both, especially when the former showed flashes of insight and the latter moments of warmth.
If you enjoyed the X-Files, and you too warm to the new characters, you'll like this. By the end, I would definitely have watched a second season had there been one.
First viewing there are things to criticize, but often putting the DVD on in the background, all those criticism become its charm, something familiar, relaxing again charming.
The only reason for 4 stars is no season 2, 3, 4, 5, as it only found its footing the best was yet to come.
I could imagine The lone Gunmen investigating Stargate command, maybe someone will write that book.
Great show, one day hopefully a remastered blueray edition, but for now this is a cult show.
