So, time to bring up a wonderful, smart, entirely unconventional sci-fi show that lasted less than a whole season (no, NOT Firefly!). The Middleman! It was fabulous!
For those of you who don't know (that would be, probably 98.6% of you, but hey, it's the internet, so who knows for sure), let's quote its creator's original pitch:
"...an over-the-top, sixteen-car-pileup-sugar-popped-cereal-bowl of a series that's not afraid to be everything your mother warned you about television: a cartoonishly extreme, randomly fantastic, special-effects laden, three-fisted walking-and-talking toy-line advertisement of an action-adventure-sci-fi comic book in which the fabric of reality barely survives in the end, and the journey invariably reveals a completely surreal strangeness behind everything we hold to be true."
And here's the TV Tropes link: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheMiddleMan
Who's seen it? Who wants to see it (hopefully all of you, now)?
