I've seen the first 6 seasons of X-Files and I love it, I just started watching Millenium and I love that too. I have never seen this and I really want to check it out, would I like it? is it worth buying?

Definitely worth buying. I recently got the box set for my fiancee at christmas, as she's a big X-Files fan, and I found I really enjoyed these. In fact, it actually ends up with a rather more 'complete' end than the x-files itself ever did, even at only 13(?) episodes, but be prepared to have a few tissues handy! ;-)

Yes, it is worth buying, although you should know that X Files and Millennium are dramas, and the Lone Gunmen is really more of a comedy.

This is not the same as X Files or Millennium. Those are darker, creepier and usually a bit more "serious" If you like the X Files episodes with the Lone Gunmen, or you like the "lighter" side of the X Files (Mulder's smirks, the more 'fun' episodes) then you will probably like this. It is great fun. Think more of The Avengers (classic British spy serial) and you'll have the right idea. Apart from the Pilot and a couple of episodes they are much more light and silly than the X Files usually is. The show does not take itself seriously and has humor and heart. I watched all of the Lone Gunmen when aired and recently bought the DVD set and have not been disappointed. They are as fun and entertaining as I remember.

Absolutely worth it!

Yes!! It was a great series that was too short.

Oh, yeah! It's got all the funny stuff (except for the dead-pan dialogue between Mulder and Scully) of X-Files, with suspense and danger thrown in.
