This intro was crazy. Not from the original eps, but I like it.

Nice, I didn't know the X-Files had a spin off series. To bad it was cancelled.

@ZkinandBonez Apparently, it actually did better, ratings-wise, than the X-Files did in its first season, but FOX wasn't so forgiving. The producers liked it, but said their mistake was making it too late after interest in the X-Files had peaked. They said if it had been made a few years earlier, things might've turned out differently/

That and probably all the anti government conspiracy stuff post 9 11. It was tolerated in the X files because it was usually about aliens and not 9 11 etc.

@cancanbiker Actually, the Lone Gunmen's entire run was in the spring of 2001, months before 9/11. In fact the plot of the pilot had badguys planning to fly an airliner by remote into a building, something that would've been unthinkable for a TV show to do just a few months later. Not all the badguys in Lone Gunmen episodes were the government. They had a couple of episodes with organized crime, one with an enforcer from an oil company, one with a survivalist poacher, etc.

@toddsmitts

Exactly my point. The show ran before 9 11 not after. Fox obviously didn't want to run a conspiracy show after 9 11. The pilot episode was about a false flag attack on the WTC to increase weapon sales....

[toddsmitts]

@cancanbiker 9/11 is irrelevant. The show was cancelled months BEFORE that happened.
