Tried and tired but just can't watch it anymore, 28 July 2008
1/10
Author: Monk3 from Canada

I watched three episodes of this show and I think that that is giving it a fair shake considering how much I cringed each hour. Some of the writing is excellent and witty and Wendy's deadpan delivery is perfect on those occasions. Unfortunately, the rest is absolutely, 100% awful.

The Middleman simply isn't funny and his attempt at '50s naivety and morality doesn't work. The worst are the plots. Simply not funny, not imaginative and very immature. Perhaps those of very, very low IQ might find some of the plots funny but that is the only audience they are going to get. That and the I watch it 'because it is so stupid' crowd. If you want to call that campy, fine but that is too big an umbrella for me.

I think the production dollars should definitely be spent on something else and put this mishmash into the out bin. Gods! Why do they cancel the clever shows and feed us this garbage?
