If I had $10million I would donate it all just to see a few more seasons. The show was great and you don’t find a show like The Middleman on tv anymore and I reget that it got cancelled. If I ever come into money that is what I plan on doing with it. You know what we should do? We should start a fund raiser over the internet to bring this show back on the air!

If you liked The Middleman, I urge you to buy the DVD and support the show, like the article said, it all hinges on DVD sales! Maybe we could get some sort of feature length special or something like that.
Also (because I’m not above shameless self promotion), check out my blog at cannedtv.wordpress.com, where I watch cancelled TV shows (The Middleman included) and give them a second look. Thanks tvseriesfinale, for being such a great source of information!

The Middleman is such a good show; the humor sort of reminds me of Get Smart, back when it was all the rage. I agree with the writer above; I think if it were on ABC’s regular network channel, it would be a smash.

My son and I watched this show every week together and were really upset to find out it wouldn’t be renewed. This has been a horrible year for great shows being canceled and I’m starting to think the networks don’t back their own shows enough to let people know they’re out there. Blood ties was one of the best shows I ever came across and I never even knew it was on the air until the end of the first season only to find out it wasn’t being renewed for season 2. How the heck does HBO keep True Blood on? They keep it on by advertising the crap out of it. All I saw for months before the show came on the air were ads in magazines and tv so you couldn’t miss the fact it was airing a new vampire show. Blood ties was 100% better than the over the top junk shown on True Blood and it only took me one episode to realize I couldn’t watch more of the HBO show. Middleman in it’s genre was the best of it’s type and I never stopped laughing while watching it. My son and I put a night aside to have dinner and watch the show (which we miss) so now with all the good shows off the air we go to Dave and Busters. Thanks networks for backing all the wrong shows and dropping all the great ones! You need to get better ad agents so they can give these new shows the push they need to get them noticed and then they might get better viewer support.

So when television finally gets a clean hero the show gets canceled, but Fox has the idiot idea to keep bringing back that raunchy violent SOG Jack Bauer on 24?

Why does this say so much about the standards of American television?

My wife and I loved this show. The show was funny and witty and we were very much hoping it would return this summer. The entire cast was great. Maybe, they can make a movie as when the TV show Firefly was cancelled and the movie Serenity was released three years later.

I’ve been waiting and waiting for the show to return… This is worse than when The Jetsons was cancelled! The Middleman was the best show on T.V. The acting was great; the writing was excellent; the stories were interesting; the cast could actually act.

I loved this show so much! I just wrote down the date and it circled it so many times, you can’t see much of july 27th or 29th. This is the FIRST and so far ONLY show that I have actually bothered sending in a comment about how much I loved the show and its originality. When my mom asked me to describe what makes it awesome, I couldn’t think of the right words and finally had to say because it makes me speechless. I actually bought a show when I missed it and my DVR didn’t tape it.

The Middleman was an awesome show it’s ashame that ABC cancelled it. That show funny every time I watched it I couldn’t stop laughing, especially with Matt as the Middleman he was the best.

Same as ussual, create a great show. Release it to the public and then cancel it. When is ABC gonna get it’s #### out of it’s ### and start polling the people that watch the shows? I myself and my two daughters loved the shows origonality and kept looking for it to return. But should have guessed, same old thing from ABC. The same people that persicuted Ellen, and Andrew Dice Clay. Shame on them for trying to control what we watch.

As a correction, the main character’s name is Wendy Watson. Lacey is her roommate, who does not work for the Middle Organization.
I watched this show this spring on syndication in Turkey and am really bummed there won’t be any more. It was fun while it lasted!

I absolutely love middleman.. i can’t believe they canceled it, i didn’t even know it was until the end of last month, I’ve been waiting for it to start again. I hope that some one else will decide to pick it up and let the adventures and romance between Lacey and the middleman continue..

I watched the show initially because Matt was the star, but I ended up loving the content. It really was my kind of humor, although that can be the kiss of death for a show because I thought the “San Pedro Beach Bums,” was inspired comedy and it lasted about as long. The Middlman was really well done all the way around and deserved a far better fate than it got. I don’t think ABC Family’s audience was the right target audience for the show, though. I’d love to see Sci-Fi pick up the show for reruns. It might inspire them to order new ones. Probably the best spot would have been on the CW, paired with Reaper.

A wonderful, funny, & creative series. I had to watch it on streaming video because I don’t want to hook up my free cable. I’m sure there were great ratings on-line. It would do good on the standard ABC. The Middleman is better than anything on their line-up now . . . boring detective shows,, hospital junk, sleepy situation comedies, and most reality shows. Well ABC does excell with Americas Funniest Home Videos, Jimmy Kimmel, and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition I do admit. The Middleman is hilarious, fresh, clever, and I’d hate to see it go. It’s like a show from the golden age of tee-vee Gilligans Island, I dream of genie, the Munsters . . . Ooooo Saturday or Sunday morning. . Do we need a hour of That’s so Raven? Look at how Hanna Montana went . . . pretty good (although I’ve never seen it), I’d get up early to watch The Middleman.

Can’t believe this show was cancelled. It was remarkable and my family & I loved it. Hope it comes back – perhaps on Sci-Fi channel. The actors are great, funny, writing is good, droll, I laughed until I cried some eps, and IT WAS CLEAN!!!
