If you're a fan of ABC Family's new show "The Middleman," like me, then you're probably aware that the possibility of a second season is up in the air. If you haven't watched "The Middleman," you are seriously missing out. The show is an astoundingly smart comedy about an unemployed artist, Wendy Watson, who is enlisted by the Middleman, a gadgeted, hyper-trained and uber handsome protector of the universe who works for a mysterious organization, to help fight off the extraterrestrial, the paranormal and all other matters of the unusual and dangerous (i.e. a gang of luchadores). The show is a wonderfully effective mixture of "Pushing Daisies," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Men In Black" and it would be nothing short of a national tragedy if this show is canceled. What can be done???Well, first things first. If you're a fan, keep watching and tell all your friends about it. I try to plug the show whenever possible. Secondly, if you aren't watching, then get cracking! Time is of the essence folks! The show airs on Mondays at 10 p.m. You can catch up on the episodes at "The Middleman" ABC Family website. Check out this awesome PSA/commercial.
For those interested in taking your support to the next level, send ABC Family a message here telling them how much you love the show. Additionally, a campaign has been started to send bags of M&Ms to ABC Family (MM for Middleman, and also WW for Wendy Watson!) along with a message of support. Show-saving chocolate can be sent to the following address:
Paul LeePresident, ABC Family

I'll certainly be sending in my M&Ms. Hopefully a shower of support can keep this great show on the air!
THANK YOU! Keep saving MM - all that is good stuff to do!
ReplyDeleteHere's a few other things that can't hurt:
Go to http://abcfamily.go.com/middleman and give them page views - and better yet, comments! Watch the vids, comment to the blogs, and (when it's working again) post in the forum. (You mentioned writing - that's very good! But give them a reason to promote - look at their promotional stuff!)
Watch the viewing parties - http://themiddleman.lycos.com
You can go alone and you can start them anytime - over the next few days just set them up and let the eps run while you clean up or something. It gives them ad money and numbers.
No nielsen box? Well, now Nielsen lets you vote on shows: http://www.heynielsen.com/view/the-middleman/ I don't know how much it counts towards ratings, but It's SOMETHING.
And on Tuesday, we of the middlecast ( http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=21073 ) will be talking to Javi and perhaps more ways of saving the show will come up!
Thanks again!
