The Middlman - Canceled?!!

IO9 blog is claiming an exclusive in a recent article reporting that ABC-Family has, very likely, chopped the quirky sf comedy at the knees. Speculation started when IO9 asked Kevin Sorbo if he had any plans to reprises his cameo appearance on the show. Sorbo responded "I have too many things on my plate that I want to do. I have no idea what is going to happen to that show, but I am hearing rumors it will be canceled". Attempting to confirm Sorbo's statement, IO9 asked Javier Grillo-Marxuach to comment. "I don't think ABC Family is ready to throw in the towel just yet. They love, and — more importantly — own The Middleman. But I think it's fair to say that they aren't going to order any new episodes in the immediate future. Right now, we are all focused on closing a deal for a DVD set that will please the fans with a lot of bonus material".

ABC family's The MiddleMan on it's way out?

TVSquad is reporting that ABC Family tv has just cut it's order of MiddleMan episodes from 13 to 12 which can not be viewed as a good thing. If you haven't caught it yet, The Middle Man is a quirky Batman and Robin (really not even close) hero side kick type of "ridding Gotham of nerdowells" But instead of spandex wearing super heros or black suit MIB types, the city is being saved by middle managment type. The situational comedy is good, the banter is fast and smart and the tech is deliciously geekie. The network has been getting good reviews and great fan mail but the ratings are described as sub stellar. But the word on the street is that the show has not been canceled as of yet but the plan is to put their efforts into a big season ender.

Lets keep our fingers crossed there Middle Fans
