“The Middleman” is a television series based on a comic book that was based on a pitch for a television series (got all that?), and it looks really fun. The show premieres tonight on ABC Family.

From what I’ve seen so far it looks like it borrows heavily from “Men in Black”, but replaces Tommy Lee Jones with Captain America, and Will Smith with a hot chick.

Sounds like a formula for success to me! The show has good buzz about it, and has been receiving favorable reviews from geeks all over the country thus far – so don’t forget to set the DVRs for 7:00pm CST tonight on ABC Family.
