The Middleman 1x01 (HDTV-FQM)

will it become an all time classic with a huge cult following ala buffy?
no, not a chance.

is it a decently spent 40ish minutes that entertains you in a goofy and campy way?
yes, yes it is.

foe those of you wanting an x-files ripoff, try fringe. for those of you wanting
a mib homage, try this show.

this show is goofy, adorable and witty.
if you\'re bored, i suggest you download it. 🙂
not a work of genius, but a solid show.
especially if you\'re into comics and stuff.
graphic novels, that is. sorry 😛

that was a real hoot. i hope those gosh darn execs dont drop it.

i disagree with guavamike and lolita777
will it become an all time classic with a huge cult following ala buffy?
no, it will become a classic sic-fi show with a huge cult following ala doctor
who.
this show its a lot like doctor who but better
is this the work of genius?
yes, it is
one thing is to make a show with famous actors and a budget of 10 mil (fringe)
something completely different is to make a show with unknown actors 100x less
money in a family network that could compete toe to toe with big budget shows.

and to be honest i'm more excited to see this show that fringe even though i
liked fringe.

if you are a doctor who fan or a mib fan you should definitely try it, if you
are not you should give this show at least a chance.

here is a more professional review that actually made me watch the show

http://www.variety.com/review/ve1117937411.html?categoryid=1264&cs=1

everyone has different tastes and what might be crap to some people might be
the best show to others. i would rather people take the risk of potentially
downloading something crappy to find it out for themselves.

what is really stupid is if you listened and believed what everyone told you.

my opinion of the show is that overall it is ok. i dont know if i like it or
dislike it yet but will look out for a few more eps. it has witty banter
throughout but has the same chessiness feel of flash gordon in regards to the
prop department. the show does have some dry/black humour that you have to be
used to to be able to appreciate, and the show does have room to grow.

i can't tell if you're being sarcastic or you just have very low standards.

if you mean the bleep when they say a "naughty word" it starts as mocking the
middleman that he doesn't say anything stronger than "gosh darn it" but of
course being a family comic show, he can't actually say it, so you get the bleep
and the nifty black censored box over the mouth 🙂 its comedy, laugh gosh darn
it!!

men in black vs pinky and brain? :d

i like it!

this is a really nice surprise!

i really like it. great dialog, some clever in-jokes.

men in black vs. pinky and the brain, with a touch of pushing daisies.

i hope it does well, and will be downloading all the episodes.

i loved this - it was funny, cute, clever, camp and savvy. thanks very much - i
look forward to the rest of the season.

to me it looks like a cross between pushing daisies, men in black and due
south. not the best combo.

i thought it was fantastic.

very funny.

i hate to compare because they are two different shows trying to do two
different things, but i liked this much better than fringe.

i love how they were not bashful or ashamed of the camp factor, and in fact
reveled in the comic book roots of what they were doing. more shows should be
this honest and good natured.

it's going to be really hard for this show to build an audience, but i'm going
to be rooting very hard.

total crap, had to stop watching after 10minutes.

too young acters with limited talents, very poor cgi, braindead story.

not for me.

wow this really is bad, and i don't mean in the good sense.

i watched the first 10 minutes and flicked through the rest and i must say i
don't think even kids would like this.

it's an abc family show that seems to be somewhat similar to doctor who,
however if you like doctor who, you seriously won't like this.

i'm a big fan of kyle xy, a great abc family show with not much budget it's
got great writing and really good rappour between the characters.

i am sorry but this one doesn't get my vote

good lookin out guys & girls.

absolute rubbish
if 'journey man' or 'jericho' (which were brilliant) got shafted ,
this is a shafting waiting to happen !
poor acting , farcical at times. i turned it off !

the creature at the start was so poorly animated i thought i was watching the
cartoon network ! ugly betty on steroids ! , x files spoof ! all rolled into one !

2/10
