[QUOTE="babomb, post: 4887365, member: 1316"] When it was on TV, there was a certain amount of interest here, so I wanted to remind people that [i]The Middleman[/I] is out on DVD! For those of you unfamiliar with it, [i]The Middleman[/i] is a brilliantly-written show about the titular Middleman whose job it is to protect Earth from threats extra-, infra-, and juxta-terrestrial. It aired for one season on ABC family, where it received critical acclaim but poor ratings. "You know how in comic books there's all kinds of mad scientists and aliens and androids and monsters, and all of them either want to destroy or take over the world?" "In comic books, sure." "Well it really does work like that." Spyscribe of [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/story-hour/42423-welcome-halmae-updated-2-27-07-a.html]Welcome to the Halmae[/url] fame was the writers' assistant for the show and wrote episode 11. There's also commentary from her and the other writers on that episode. For those of you who've read that story hour, that should be reason enough to buy it. ;) The DVD is a little barebones in some respects. There are no subtitles, commentary only on select episodes (4 out of 12), and the menu design isn't the greatest. Disc 4 has a decent amount of bonus material: some deleted scenes, casting sessions, gag reel, a table read of one episode, a featurette about the Wilhelm scream, and a few other things I haven't watched all of yet. The Onion AV Club [url=http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-middleman-the-complete-series,30984]gives it an A-[/url]. [/QUOTE]
