Chicks in Black by EvilWizardGlick	May 31st, 2008 04:19:45 PM
Doesn't look much different does it? What is the limit for Family channel humor? Fart jokes? Vomit? I would rather see this on USA. Better yet FX. Does Pat Robertson still receive any subsidies from Family Channel?
Looks like a Men in Black ripoff... by googamooga	May 31st, 2008 04:32:20 PM
Oh wait, is that too obvious? I'm sorry. In that case, it just looks like ass.
Les McClaine is cool... by I am the most horrible	May 31st, 2008 04:50:10 PM
...and he has a cool sketchblog called evilspacerobot.com He's one of the proud, comics-infused citizens of Stumptown, and we're proud of him. Nice going Les! I look forward to this show.
It has about as much in common by Speaker 815	May 31st, 2008 04:50:41 PM
with Men in Black as any other show that involves aliens. The Middleman and Wendy don't even work for the gummit. Tonally it's got more in common with Doctor Who and it hits on far more genres than just alien killing. Not to say you will definitely love it upon viewing (Though, one can hope), just that it's not an MiB ripoff.

ABC Family? by Charlie Murphy	May 31st, 2008 08:02:04 PM
i can't say i've ever seen an abc family show... are they low-budgeted cheesy affairs, or do they actually have some good stuff? i think the only two i've heard of are kyle xy and greek... if it's from grillo-marxuach, it might be worth a look, but that poster looks cheesy as all hell.

DJ Dan is the man! I can't wait :D
Q&A with Javier Grillo Marxuach by pinkraygun_guy	Jun 1st, 2008 03:34:18 AM
http://tinyurl.com/3qpwmo and http://tinyurl.com/4lwyfr for a Q&A session with Javier Grillo-Marxuach about The Middleman. I had never heard of it before being invited to the Q&A by ABC Family, but after talking with the producer/creator, it sounds like it will be loads of fun. I mean, anything with an episode about a tentacle butt-monster HAS to be good, right?
This looks like fun by David Cloverfield	Jun 1st, 2008 09:45:45 AM
poster looks awesome.

I've seen this and it's pretty much what you'd expect: Bad. Nothing better than misfired humor. And yes, the production values are totally Knudsen.
Middleman will rock! by C00L DUD3	Jun 2nd, 2008 08:13:43 AM
Thanks for the info about the various websites! I've been excited for this show ever since I heard was getting produced it because I'm a fan of Javier and his comic. I think it has a wide range of appeal since it's a wacky take on the sci-fi/comic book genre, so I think this show can do very well in the ratings department. ABC Family has been doing edgier shows for a while now, and Kyle XY shows they've already got a foot in the door for sci-fi. Also Wendy Watson rules. She's hot, and nerdy, which is also hot.
Will Natalie Morales be rapping the theme song? by MrMysteryGuest	Jun 2nd, 2008 06:22:37 PM
"Here comes the Middleman..." (clap clap)
So what if it's on ABC Family? by Doc_McCoy	Jun 3rd, 2008 06:14:20 PM
They seem to have let Grillo-Marxuach, an imaginative and ultra-talented geek, run wild with this show. Love the retro vibe. This could be fun.
