Update* On
the fifth to last episode of the X-files April 21, 2002 the Lone
Gunmen made what appears to be their last appearance. The episode
ended with the Lone Gunmen having gave their lives to save others,
as they locked themselves up with a terrorists who was
contaminated with a germ agent that could have killed thousands.
The final scene shows the caskets of the Lone Gunmen with John
Doggett, Agent Scully, Skinner, Jimmy, and Eve attending. Of
course there are talks of a X-files movie in 2004 so who knows
maybe Chris Carter will find a way to bring them back once again.

Show Summary
Spin-off of The X-Files featuring the trio of computer-hacking struggling conspiracy newspapermen known as The Lone Gunmen. John Byers, Melvin Frohike, and Richard Langly play like a Mission Impossible team, trying desperately to expose the truth for their newspaper the Lone gunmen. In the process they entertain us with their mixture of near three stooges imbecilic behavior and spy like skills.
Their chief competitor in the "information business" is the brilliant and beautiful Yves Adele Harlow. Perpetually short of funds to publish The Lone Gunman newspaper, Byers, Frohike and Langly begrudgingly take on Jimmy Bond as an unlikely benefactor who bankrolls their missions and joins them in their investigations to uncover the truth. Jimmy Bond is a well meaning jock type who is dumber than a box of rocks.
When I first heard the Lone Gunmen were getting their own series I
thought it was going to be pretty lame, but after viewing the first few
episodes, I have to say I like it.
It's pretty dog gone funny. It's like watching a modern day mixture of
the three musketeers, the three stooges, and the X-files.
The show only lasted one season although it certainly deserved more time on the air.
Possible Loophole
Only one big question, if the Lone gunmen are such big computer geniuses why do are they struggling to print a newspaper. Why don't they just put their stories on the Internet instead?
