My name is *mumblemumble* and I watch MiddleMan.

Yes, it's camp, it's snark, sometimes it's borderline tripe, but any show that can manage shout outs to not one but three fandoms in one 42 minute ep gets major kudos from me.

Last nights ep had shout outs to:

Old school Who
Die Hard
Star Trek the Movie (yes, as in the first movie)

Plus snark.  Oh' I love the snark.  And who can diss a show that has Kevin Sorbo (Hercules himself) doing his version of Austin Powers.  It reminds me of Get Smart only with less of the goofiness.  No incompetence wins the day here, no sirree.

I wasn't going to give this show a second glance after seeing the commercials, but the kids watched it and I chose to endure and loved it from first scene.  BTW I so  want a Jolly Fats Weehawken Employement Agency t-shirt, and dangitall the show shop doesn't sell them... yet.

ETA: I knew there was another shout out in this weeks ep!  Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy!  That makes four in just one episode.  How cool is that?

tv, middleman
