	Oh man. If there's some way to win that DVD at Comic-Con and not have to pay anything for it, I'd so take it! (Reply to this)

	Yaaaay! Pre-ordered already. Although if you pushed back the release date two weeks and two days, you'd hit my birthday EXACTLY. wheedle (Reply to this) (Thread)

	And if he pushed the release date up a month and 10 days, he'd hit my birthday exactly. Come on, Javi. You know you want to... June's a great month, right? :-P Love the cover - it's so pretty! (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Huh. June is earlier. Earlier is better. I am Amyslayer, and I approve of Middlegirl's comment. Seriously, I CANNOT wait for this. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This tells me nothing. As no one else has claimed to have preordered. Amazon just gives an offer to be notified when available. Shout! doesn't even have it listed that I can find. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

Sigh... To paraphrase Wendy Watson, The Middleman is something of an unwanted flipper baby of a TV series. Launched on ABC Family during the Summer of 2008 while the network was still trying to discover its programming niche, to the dismay of Middlefans everywhere, it got relatively huge ratings for The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and rather dismal ones for The Middleman. Thus, finding its signature show (just like its sister cable network Lifetime found out that its audience really dug Army Wives), ABC Family decided to stick with a target demographic for teen dramas and kept a show like Greek, and relegated The Middleman (at least for the time being) and Kyle XY, which although at its heart was a teen drama, may have perhaps been a little too science-fictiony (excellent job on the cliffhangers in the SERIES finale, by the way, if I might sarcastically say) to the dustbin of history.

All of which is my round-about way of saying that it will be my privilege to give this DVD set of The Middleman, unwanted flipper baby that it might be, a happy home.

	Yay! (I hate seeing it referred to as "The Complete Series" though) (Reply to this)

	phantmgreeneyes 2009-03-21 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	Complete series huh? So it really is the end? (Reply to this)

	mauser 2009-03-21 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	So, if it's the complete series, it's loaded to the gills with extras and directors commentary, deleted scenes etc., right? Right? (Reply to this)

	bonniegrrl 2009-03-21 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	YAY! and FINALLY! (Reply to this)

	Confused abput the rollout date - HELP! firestorm888 2009-03-22 06:54 am UTC (link)
	Beware the Ides of March, Dubby! Not quit sure how the dvd rollout date will work, Javi. From the Comic-Con website ==> Comic-Con International: San Diego 2009 JULY 23-26, Preview Night: July 22 July 28 will have it be 2 days late. Perhaps a mis-type in your original post? Am I missing something? Clarify pls. Love the comic and the show - great stuff! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Confused abput the rollout date - HELP! primitiveskin 2009-03-24 05:32 am UTC (link)
	I was just assuming that you could buy the DVD set early at Comic-Con by hitting the Shout Factory booth with your credit card in hand and at the ready. I mean, how else are Javi and the gang going to sign these wondrous artifacts from a lost and forgotten age! (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Confused abput the rollout date - HELP! firestorm888 2009-03-24 12:48 pm UTC (link)
	Yep, good assumption. The high point of the Con of all of us who're Middle-minded, I'm thinking. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Thoughts axisor 2009-03-22 03:41 pm UTC (link)
	a) YAY! but it'll be late for the b-day sharings i want to give... b) Pre-order where? and c) How much? d) Maybe Season 2 will be billed as "The Complete Season Completion" ::happy dance still:: I hope it comes out early! I really wish ABC Family would do a middleman middlethon in hype of it (Reply to this)

I have some questions about this:

Number 1. Seeing this listed as "The Complete Series", does that mean that we should abandon all hope of getting any more "Middleman" TV goodness?

Number B. If the answer to #1 is "No, there's still a chance of another season", does the original proclamation of "DVD sales will help determine the possibility of more episodes" still stand?

Number III. If the answer to #B is "Yes", does that mean that ABC Family has first shot at reviving the series?

Number ("How many, boy?" STOMP STOMP STOMP.......STOMP "Good boy!"). If the answer to Number III is "Yes", does that mean that the DVD will be available to pre-order through ABC Family's website and will it have a greater bearing if we pre-order it through them as opposed to another site?

I think that's about it. (I'm running out of ways to do my numbering anyway.) Thanks for a great show, and here's to many more!

	Amazon Pre-Order Now Available axisor 2009-03-25 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001XW7ICW Retail: $39.99 Amazon current price: $27.99 as a 30% off savings. I've already Pre-ordered 2.... Here's faith in having a job again by then :) (Reply to this)

	monte_noiq 2009-03-25 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	It will be a pleasure contributing to your royalty stream, both with the DVD collection and the graphic novel. I am hoping that this will simply be the most immediate incarnation of an ongoing multimedia series of some sort, and regardless of medium (e.g., DVD, television broadcast, graphic novel, etc.) Nice cover art by the way.

	I cant freakin wait. I will immediately blog this and hop it spreads like wildfire. I've told so many people about this show and now everyone will get a new chance to see it in all its middle-goodness. Thank you Javi for making such a wonderful gem of a show. (Reply to this)

	eponine254 2009-04-04 03:28 pm UTC (link)
	Oh frabjous day! This is pretty much all I want from life... I'll buy it as soon as it comes out for region 2 (please, PLEASE let it come out for region 2). (Reply to this)

	2percentright 2009-04-23 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	Not to ask such a simple and inane question, but could you provide either information or a link with information on the realworld middlemobile. I can see it's a Ford from the show, but I don't know anything else about it and was curious. (Reply to this)
