This show is great! It's like Dr. Who crossed with Due South -- an utterly hilarious, weird, and perfect combination.

Hope ABC Family keeps it! It's the first time I've ever watched anything on their channel, and I know I'm not the only one!

NBC UNIVERSAL SCI-FI NETWORK IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR THIS SHOW!!! They are running out of new shows. Give it the Friday at 10 spot once BSG is over.

This has been the most pleasant surprise of the summer, much better than the overhyped and insulting "American Teenager". It is too bad it was a really clever summer show, not enough stupidity or vulgarity to attract a wider audience.

It will suck if this show gets cancelled. The people watching LOVE this show.

The concept had potential but underachieves. Casting Natalie Morales as Wendy was a very bad choice--she can't carry this show. Britt Morgan would have been a better lead female. Javier Grillo-Marxuach is no genius, and tries too hard and unsuccessfully to be hip.
I would choose that this disappointing show should be "out in 12."

I really hope the show gets to see a second season. It's a very entertaining show with the right amount of camp. The cast is great, and Natalie is just to damn cute. She has a great knack for comedy. The writing is great with quick, hip lines. I wish them the best. If ABC Family passes on the show, it seems like it would be a perfect fit for the SciFi Channel.

My whole family,(me, my husband & our 10-year-old son), LOVES this show. My husband didn't start watching until about halfway in and now he's addicted just as much as our son & I are. We are all crossing our fingers that this completely unique, funny, heartwarming show returns for another season.:D

I hope ABC Family decides to bring this show back for a second season. I'm looking forward to next week's episode with Kevin Sorbo!

I love The Middleman. Its cute and quirky. Funny, sly, and quick. The problem is.... Why is on abc family at 10 pm at night?????? The time slot is terrible and undeserved.

I love the Middleman show and its' characters SO much I'll be in a funk if it doesn't get a second season.

PLEASE!!! Give MM another chance with a second season. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the show!!!

Try an earlier time slot for it. Maybe that would help gain a bigger audience.

It's such a clever show amidst a sea of not so hot shows and I think that if given another chance it would succeed.

Maybe some more promotion too would help.

I could never understand why the show was on ABC Family but I'm glad it is. ABC Family is pretty loyal to its shows so hopfully it will be back in a better time slot.

This is a brilliant show. Yet another sad statement on the mental capacity of the average American viewer.

I absolutely adore The Middleman, and have already gotten a half-dozen people to watch the show. They became as addicted to it as I am! Our one big question is this: why in heaven's name is it on at 10PM at night? That is too late for the audience this show should be pulling in, which should include the entire family -- and that means kids, too.

Great actors, lovable characters, clever plots, great sets and costumes, snappy dialogue; The Middleman has it all!(I know I sound like a commercial, but I've been using this pitch to get people to watch the show.)

The Kevin Sorbo episode was total crap. "Great actors," "clever plots" and "brilliant show" are NOT terms that belong with this series. I disagree with the posts that claim Natalie Morales is cute, or that this show is so smart. Quirky does not equal quality. Cancel this lousy series and try again.

My husband and I love Middlemaaan!!!....it is our new favorite sitcom, it would be a shame if it does not return. The writing is great, funny, clever and very creative.
Maybe move it to ABC's regular schedule anything but please bring it back!!!

The Middleman is my favorite show. I love the many humorous references to various other cultural icons. I enjoy enjoy the simplicity of the characters and the off-beat stories.

BRING THE MIDDLEMAN BACK FOR SEASON TWO!

I so totaly agree with most of the postings. The Middleman is one of the best show's I have seen.
I don't think ABC Family should sell the show. Just put it in an earlier time slot so the kids can watch it. Its a great show for the family to enjoy together.. Suggested time: 7 pm. would be a good time. Bed times are mostly 8 pm.
ABC Family would take the rateing in that time slot.

This was the only show I was watching during the summer except for the Venture Brothers on Cartoon Network. Every MiddleMan episode had at least one laugh-out-loud moment for me, and the rest of it was decent. I enjoy all of the major actors, and the "lesser" characters contribute well. I have to agree that the Kevin Sorbo episode was disappointing, though.
