JD's Review of "The Middleman"

Holy Crap, I have found my new favorite show. The Middleman which is based on the comic's by Javier Grillo-marxuach, has been turned into a show for ABC Family starring Matt Keeslar and Natalie Morales. Basically it's got some of the funniest dialogue I've heard in a very, very long time. And it kept me hooked the whole show. It reminded me of Gilmore Girls minus the girls plus the quick dialogue and cheesy humor.

It's about The Middleman (Keeslar) who is an ex-navy seal who fights evil. Such as Apes who have been programed to take over the world or (next week) a dirt monster...where he says "Oh, Grapes of Wrath!" it's that kind of cheesy humor that you have to love. The Middleman shows up at Wendy Watson's temp-job at a Science lab when a monster made of human body parts busts through the glass windows behind her. She doesn't panic, which is what impresses the Middleman. Therefore he offers her a job. He also calls her "Dubby," it's a fantastic show which is Greeks fill in til fall.
