I love this show

[kelliem]

Every time I watch The Middleman, I get at least one unexpected guffaw and usually a whole lot more. Tonight's were, in no particular order. "Story of O!", "Agents Alexander Scott & Kelly Robinson," and "Just a canceled television show, I don't expect you'll get the reference." Heeee! A few eps ago the "Hear that noise? It's Simone de Beauvoir rolling in her grave." had me ROFL.

Seriously, if you're not watching it, you should be. The first episode wasn't so good, so I hope any of you who didn't tune back in after that one will give it a second chance. I don't think you'll be sorry.

When? Which channel? :)

It's on Monday nights at 10 eastern on The Family Channel. There are a couple of full-length eps up here: http://abcfamily.go.com/abcfamily/path/section_Videos/page_Video (select 'shows' then 'the middleman.')

Thanks! Yeah, like I need another show to watch, but I'll give an ep or two a look. *looks at clock* Damn, presuming it's Eastern/Pacific, I'd watch it right now if I didn't have to go to bed. :P

They pack so many geeky references in. I love the show. Every season, I promise myself I won't get attached to a new program, I've had too many cancelled out from under me. But I heart the Middleman (okay, Ida) so much.

Yea verily! I'm the same way, and I was really trying NOT to like this show, but I just can't not!

I even made a lame-o icon. I hope that's not the kiss of death. ;D

How delightful was this most recent episode? I have so much love for the show. I really have my fingers crossed that there will be a season 2!

I am also rather tempted to hunt the graphic novels they are based on down, those could be a good time I think!

I have really liked every ep other than the first one. They lost me with the gorilla suits in that one, but the rest have been pure gold. I can't believe how... believably Matt Keeslar pulls off a totally unbelievable character!
