ABC Family has the most bizarre shows lately. Anyone seen this one?
Quirky doesn't really start to describe it, but in this wacky, post-Pushing Daisies era, I guess it'll have to do. Christy and I really like it. Anyone else? __________ AJGraeme "You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it." -Taylor Mali "I am a sexy, shoeless god of war." -Belkar |

er.. Pushing Daisies is supposed to be back in October.
But no, I don't get even basic cable, so I've never heard of Middleman. I would have thought the end of the world is everyone's responsibility, wouldn't you? ~Death in Thief of Time Minister of Kraftwerk in the Realm of U & P, Order of the Pineapple with frond for advancement in Nap studies. |

YES!
Especially Noser. I want to steal him and feed him tea. *is very sad, and a pirate* ------------------------------ You are a Leprechaun. I'm not even sure what you are. Whiskey-soaked reports from your baffling Isle of Ire raise more questions than they answer. Are you a dwarf? Where's your pickax? If you're an elf, why don't you cobble? You'd think with all your gold, you could invest in some land, perhaps a title, and improve your station. Instead, you hide it in meteorologically-determined locations. You're getting killed on inflation, little friend! |

Noser's awesome. Did you see that last episode with Vladdy?

Yes. It was brilliant. Completely twisted, and smart, and funny. And I re-read The Historian this week too, so I am very very vampired out.

Watched an episode at a friend's house.. cute.. occasionally the language made us say "they're allowing that word on the Family Channel?????"

I've only watched one episode so far, the one with the boy band, but I quite liked it. It's just so... odd.

It has to be called "family" something per the contract The 700 Club makes the purchaser of the network sign, but is gives the Club limited control over the channel's actual content.
And, I agree, it's a very odd show. It doesn't always work - last week's episode completely wasted a Kevin Sorbo guest-starring role - but when it does it's a lot of fun. __________ AJGraeme "You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it." -Taylor Mali "I am a sexy, shoeless god of war." -Belkar |

Dweller in Darkness...I am so glad you said that because that has been the only show I saw and I wasn't sure about seeing more. I will give it another go. It really seems to have all that wonderfull campy sort of humor to have a cult following.

The show does have a few set jokes that appear every week - Middleman always "swears" in some entertaining way ("Hands across America, that's horrible!"), there's always a line or two that's repeated so often it becomes funny (". . . will drown in the icy waters of the North Atlantic." and someone will actually swear and have the word bleeped out, complete with black bar. Most of the people I know who don't like the show don't like it for one of those things.

I watched the pilot last night. It's definitely quirky. I loved it. It reminds me of early Buffy, in a way.
I'll be watching more soon, for sure. ______________________________ I wear the cheese, the cheese does not wear me. |

I looks like only the previous week's episode is available on the ABC Family's website, but the previous episodes can be purchased at iTunes.

It was a twelve episode series, so they haven't said anything about a second yet.
There's a begging letter (plus M&M bribery) campaign for a second one. ------------------------------ You are a Leprechaun. I'm not even sure what you are.
