I don't really have much to say. The Lone Gunmen was my (this is Andrew typing) favorite show, and I'm not to happy about it being cancelled. I really don't know why it was. Everyone seems to think it was a great show, but I guess the fact that the pilot wasn't nearly as good or funny as the rest of the episodes (although I did enjoy) turned lots of people off from the show, thus dooming it from the start. Oh well.

The main characters were Frohike (played by Tom Braidwood, former co-director of the X-Files, I think he'll return to that job now that LG has been cancelled), Langley (played by comedian Dean Haglund), and Byers (played by Bruce Harwood). They were the creators of a small conspiracy magazine, and were occasionally on episodes of the X-Files here and there.

The cancellation of the Lone Gunmen was also a major factor in this site being created. When the show was cancelled, I decided I'd make a website as a tribute to them. I talked to Matt about it one day (he used to have his own personal conspiracy site), and out came the Lone Conspirators (guess where we got the title from:) ). I was hoping to give the site a sort of a newspaper look, since the Lone Gunmen had a newspaper/newsletter of the same name, and even this site's title graphic was inspired by the Lone Gunmen.

Maybe if we complain to Fox enough, the show will return someday. We can only hope.

All I have left to say is click here to visit the official Lone Gunmen website before it's gone.
