"The Lone Gunmen is a television show created by Chris Carter and broadcast on FOX. It is a spin off of Carter's popular long running The X-Files, starring several of the show's characters. The show was first broadcast in March 2001 and, despite positive reviews, it was cancelled because of a drop in ratings.[2] The last episode was broadcast in June 2001 and ended on a cliffhanger which was resolved in a ninth season episode of The X-Files entitled Jump the Shark.
The series revolved around the three characters of The Lone Gunmen; Melvin Frohike, John Fitzgerald Byers and Richard Langly, a group of "geeky" investigators who ran a conspiracy theory magazine. They had often helped FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder on The X-Files."
