I've never watched The Lone Gunman


Is there a way to watch it online? I've tried both Netflix and Hulu and there not available. So is there another place to view those episodes?

I bet you can download it someplace.
Not saying you ought to , just that just about everything these days can be downloaded most likely.
If you do get it let me say the show starts off kind of weak but it definitely gets a whole lot better near the middle and end - right fbefore lousy FOX canned it!

I don't understand it either why FOX cancelled it, because at the end of the first season, they had the same number of viewers on it, as they did with the first season of The X Files, the number of viewers where actually increasing.

I guess the accountants think everything has gotta be a big hit right away.
Nobody wants to sit back and wait and see anymore.

Fox was apparently run by impatient morons in the early 2000s, presumably the same idiots who cancelled Firefly after one season when it had the potential to be one of the biggest sci-fi shows on TV given another season or two.

Breaking Bad is the perfect example of how rewarding it can be to give a show a chance when it isn't a massive instant hit but has steady ratings and great reviews, it absolutely exploded about halfway through it's run and was pretty much the most popular show in the world by the time it ended (although some of the credit has to go to Netflix for that)

One rumor I heard was the LG guys decided like they should be earning big boy money and threatened to walk off if they didn't get it and that's one of the reasons FOX didn't bring the show back.
I hope it's not true because it makes the actors sound a little stupid and greedy.
Who knows.
