Oh definitely.  I was rather terrified when they introduced Lacey, it seemed like they were making her to be the usual shrill cheapshot that writers love set up and then destroy. But nope, everyone respects everyone else's choices.  Lacey doesn't deride Wendy's violent games and apathy towards murderous French

A plagiarist and a creepy little weasel who alternately tries to befriend and exploit all the other residents of the building.  Never was a Truth Bomb so justified.

It's one of their great physical comedy moments, but I love the guy being dragged down the street by the vampire handpuppet the most.

Really?  My whole social circle in the fly-overs like it quite a lot.  From what I've heard from Javier Grillo-Marxuach, ABC Family was extremely supportive of the show and really wanted it to take off. Javier actually blames the 700 Club, which aired in the slot before the show, for killing The Middleman by driving

The entire cast (more or less) was at C2E2 a few years ago.  One of things Natalie and Brit talked about was how their friendship spilled over into Wendy and Lacey's friendship, which was one of the reasons the chemistry was so great.

Middleman's always had a great love of developing the characters outside of the usual stereotypes.  Lacey's vegan animal-loving ways are depicted positively, the Middleman is a 1950s-type upright citizen who had no issues at all with punching a commanding officer in the face.  Even Pip, little toad that he is, is

I'm so glad you guys covered this show!  It needs as many people to know about it as possible.  I love it's humor and the wild plots and pop-culture references, but I think the thing I've always loved the most about it is Lacey and Wendy's relationship.  When they first introduced Lacey I was terrified her character

There was never such a great Dad moment as when the Middleman had to explain to Wendy that there was a procedure when a Middleman needed some…ahem, private time.  It's basically the MiddleTalk.
