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!

I’ve been spotting shout-outs to LOST on a couple of shows lately, e.g. an armored car numbered 481516 on Alcatraz and Apollo Bars on Once Upon A Time (neither is surprising as both shows are by former LOST staffers). 

This got me thinking, what current shows would we love to see slip in a shout-out to The Middleman and is anyone aware of any shout-outs that have already happened?

Of course, the ultimate version of this would be for a current show to have one of the MM actors do a cameo appearance that could be reasonably construed as a ref to their MM character.  I’m not talking about having Natalie or Matt appear as Dubbie or MM on Warehouse 13 (although that would rock), I’m thinking more subtle shout-outs.

For example, here’s one I’d love to see: Noser hanging out with his guitar outside the apartment on New Girl. 

Anyone else have any amusing ideas for MM shout-outs?

This is a really cool idea! 

Do any of you guys have ideas? Leave them in the ask box or submit them, and I’ll post them over the course of the next week or so. Bonus points if you ‘shop a graphic to go along!

Dear TV-gods, if you ever feel like putting Dubbie back on my screen I’d be totally okay with that.
