Why Did 'The Lone Gunmen' Fail? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Honestly, I liked the short-run spin-off The Lone Gunmen.

Why did it fail to catch on? Did any of you X-Files fans watch it?

I've never had the chance to see it.
I wouldn't mind just to try and see an ep or two.
There is some fan fiction on it though.

I thought it was sad that they ended up dying in the X-Files Series, but nice to see them in the Finale as 'spirits' for Mulder. I remember when I first saw that ep, Jump The Shark, when they die, at the funeral scene, I was like they just HAVE to show Scully! I was very thrilled to see her there.

That has got to be one of the most confusing and depressing TV Shows of allll time! (lol) Seriously. But it has everytime of genre, which is really cool.

I saw all the episodes. I thought it was a pretty good show.

I was shocked that they were killed off, on The X-Files.

I watched it, but I didn't think it was that good.
