#DR MIDDLEMAN SERIES#
The series includes various pop-culture references, including many comic books, such as when Wendy calls herself " Robin the Boy Hostage", a quote from The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller, demonstrating how Robin was often kidnapped or held at gunpoint by Batman's enemies.
Because of Wendy Watson's coolness under pressure and photographic memory, Ida, a robot in the form of a grumpy schoolmarm, and the Middleman recruit her to become the next Middleman. The Middleman is a freelance fixer of "exotic problems", which include mad scientists bent on taking over the world, hostile aliens, and various supernatural threats. Wendy lives in an illegal sublet apartment with her young, photogenic, animal activist friend Lacey, across the hall from lyric-spouting Noser, and had a boyfriend in film school named Ben. Wendy Watson, a struggling artist, is recruited by a secret agency to fight against evil forces. The complete series DVD set was released by Shout! Factory on July 28, 2009. Billed as a "series finale", The Middleman – The Doomsday Armageddon Apocalypse was released in July 2009. In February 2009, a comic book based on the unproduced 13th episode was announced, confirming the series' cancellation. Originally confirmed for an initial 13 episodes, the order was reduced to a 12-episode season due to low ratings. The series, which was developed for television by Javier Grillo-Marxuach for ABC Family, is based on the Viper Comics series, The Middleman, created by Grillo-Marxuach and Les McClaine. The Middleman is an American television series.
