We solve exotic problems.

"Based on the series of graphic novels by acclaimed writer Javier Grillo-Marxuach and artist Les McClaine, The Middleman focuses on the titular superhero and his new protege, an aspiring artist named Wendy Watson. Together they defend the Earth against "exotic problems" such as animated terra cotta warriors, menacing lucha libre wrestlers, extraterrestrials, trout-eating zombies and much, much more!"

Airing for twelve episodes on ABC Family in 2008, The Middleman was a clever, action-packed show full of pop-culture references and witty dialogue. This is a tumblr Middleman appreciation blog for Middlefans who love and miss the show as much as I do. Feel free to submit posts or ask questions!

Isn’t it crazy how invested you can get in a show that only has 12 episodes and a comic book finale?

It was definitely the first time I worked on something where I completely felt like I went into another world.

And so it was, that at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con, that the entire cast had a table read for the 13th episode, the unaired season finale, in front of thousands of fans. It was as humorous, heartwarming, and ultimately as optimistic as the rest of the show was. Immediately after, it was announced that a comic for that final episode would be released. The show had come full circle.

They did a take without his jacket. Oh, I want to see that take so badly.
