Hi,

Has anyone noticed that 3 of the episodes on the Lone Gunmen DVD compilation are missing off of the 2nd disc, with side one completely gone only to repeat what's on side 2 of the disc? Series episodes; "Madam, I'm adam," "Planet of the Frohikes" and "Maximum Byrers" are no where to be found on any of the discs. Has anyone else noticed this? What a burn - and these DVD series aren't cheap either.

Feeling REALLY ripped off,

Scorehead!

That entire series made me feel REALLY ripped off. I hated the way those characters were ultimately handled.

Scorehead --
They're there on my review copy. Is this a widespread problem, or did you just get a copy that was defectively manufactured?

Thanks Andy, although your reply has me more perplexed and frusterated, now knowing it's obvioulsy an isolated issue.

I don't know if it's a widspread problem, but it is there in the set that I bought. I haven't done too much looking into this, other than a quick Google search and posting an inquiry on your site - thinking that someone here might have experenced that same thing. Specifically - it would be the first side of the 2nd disc - which just repeats the content of it's side two.

I've checked this disc more times than I can remember and know that I haven't missed anything.

Anyone else have any info.

Thanks,

Scorehead

Very strange. Can you send it back? My 2nd disc definitely has unique episodes on the two sides, no repeats for sure.

I broke down and took the set of DVD's back to where I purchased them and got a replacement that was void of the problems. So it appears to be an isolated case - how widespread, I've no clue. I wouldn't even have known where to send it back to or who to report such a case too, but FOX should be aware of it.

What a pain,

Scorehead!

Andy,

You mentioned in your column two weeks ago that you were going to review The Lone Gunmen DVD set - what happened to that review?

Understandably curious,

Scorehead!

Scorehead,
I opted to carry it over as a capsule for the magazine column, which I literally just finished. The set was nice, but I was never really a big aficionado of the series...kind of seemed stuck between X-Files leftovers and its own intentions.

Then again, it wasn't all bad -- something that couldn't be said for the final days of THE X-FILES!
