the middleman - we don't just follow rules...we make them!

[chaodai]

my friends - sometimes the culture gods reward you even when the ratings gods will not...today on NPR's "all things considered," the middleman was not only cited as one of the few shows on television that adheres to "the bechdel rule" but also as THE show that got them talking about the bechdel rule as an indicator of a tv show's quality

Brilliant.

Now if there were only more TV shows that depicted Asians as characters other than mystics, martial-arts masters, or mystical martial-arts masters...

Do Cylons count as mystics?

Way to go, Javi!!!! Congratulations on this and on a wonderful first season. Now all we need is to be able to say similar things about a second season.

I have been using my past-evangelical background as training for spreading the word of the middleman. I only wish I knew more people. :<

Keep us up to date man, and know how much we're pulling for you and your tv family.

That's amazing, Javi!

I'm sitting in a History of Women in Primetime TV class at the moment so "The Middleman" is very much on my mind right now, haha.

I SO wish y'all could find some better placement for the show, because it's just not getting the exposure it should where it's at.

That said, I'm seriously considering pasting shirtless pics of Matt from the last episode everywhere I roam online, in the hopes that the hormone level will rise enough to lead people to the light.
