God damn it. American television networks do it again. The Middle Man, the best bit of comedy produced since Buffy and the only decent current sci-fi apart from Dr. Who, is now “hibernating in a high tech vat” indefinitely.
Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. Just this weekend, I finally got my brother to watch it, and we were just agreeing how brilliant the series was while were watching the Academy Awards. I should have know that would jinx it for sure.
According to the New York Post, a network rep exclusively confirmed to PopWrap that, “ABC Family has decided not to renew the series for a second season.” However, over at the MiddleBlog, the series’ creator seems mildly optimistic that something might happen if the DVD box set of season one sells well this summer, and he’s quick to assure fans that one more comic is forthcoming. The comic will tell the story planned for the unaired series finale.
I’m scrambling to find a write-in campaign to join, but efforts to save this amazing series are almost as scattered as the series’ ratings. If anyone has any suggestions, post them below!
