Really Surprised!

Absolutely Fantastic

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The show was quirky, silly, entertaining enough if there was nothing else on, and ultimately, didn't quite have the juice - in my opinion. It was a cute, but been done a thousand times idea - introduce a regularly girl into a strange new world full of oddness and monsters and aliens and give her a utility belt filled with nifty tech and give her a square boss and write around that. It's formula, with a degree of cuteness and Natalie Morales played the role as well as she could, but the show lacked teeth, not to mention, the graphics were terrible.I'd rate it kind of similar to the Tick (2001) with Patrick Warburton in terms of production quality, silliness and special effects. Still, like the tick, this show had a charm and likability, even if it wasn't great TV. Watchable on a night when I'm tired and don't want to think. 6 out of 10.

Wildly funny, this crazed collection of running jokes, old movies homages, and sharp writing is one of those amazing shows whose cancellation boggles the mind.The humor reminded me of The Tick (either animated or live), as well as the 1960s Batman TV series. The lead character made me think of the lead from Due South.You can learn a lot about the show by reading the negative reviews, which often complain about the stuff I like or seem to not understand what kind of show it was. For example, some people complain about the fast dialog, but if you're a fan of 40s screwball comedies or the works of Aaron Sorkin and Amy Sherman then that witty fast-paced banter will feel very comfortable. As for people who describe this as a failed attempt at a Torchwood-style show, that's like saying The Simpsons is a failed attempt to recreate Gilligan's Island, or that MST3K compares poorly with My Dinner With Andre. Yes, like Torchwood there is a sci-fi theme, but this is not a science fiction series, this is a comedic comic book series. It is more comparable to Doctor Who, simply because that show was funnier, but this also would be an inaccurate comparison, because once again, that show is science-fiction with comedy, as opposed to comedy with science fiction.As for people who understand the show and just don't find it funny, well, I can't argue with that, because we all find some things funny and others not. I laughed constantly. And while some people said the series grew on them after a slow start, I loved every episode from the first to the last. Discovering the show years after its cancellation, I watched the entire series in a week.It was an odd fit for ABC Family, being completely devoid of teenagers. I think it would have had a better chance on the Syfy channel, which is not opposed to shows like Warehouse 13 that are more comedy than sci-fi, or on Comedy Central if they actually did hour-long series. Or maybe MTV, if they still do anything besides reality shows (haven't watched them for years). But while it was the wrong channel for the show, I'm glad to have got to enjoy the episodes that exist.

What a great new show. I was compelled to write this after I saw a negative review of it up here. It's definitely not for everyone, but I found the characters charming, funny, and likable. I can't wait to see what happens in the future episodes! It starts off with Wendy Watson on the never ending job hunts, and she finally finds her job as a Middleman. Dealing with all kinds of odd creatures and evil that seem like they'd be straight out of comic books and sci-fi movies. I won't say anymore as I don't want to spoil it, but definitely check out this show! It's a good one :) I'm really excited for it, ABC Family has been stepping up their game, with shows like Kyle XY and Wildfire. It's awesome too that it's during the summer when most shows have just finished up their season.

I just got through watching the pilot for this show and all it did was confuse me. The pace of the delivery of the lines was hard to get used to and I suspect it's not very appealing to most people. It's also very confusing why this is on the ABC Family Channel. There were at least three times I remember the main character Wendy telling someone to "go to hell". There are a lot of references to outdated things such as Patsy Cline and the Carter administration that most children won't relate to. There are plenty of things that adults will relate to like a reference to the line from "Planet of the Apes"..."Get your filthy paws off of me you damn dirty ape".There is a short visit to a strip club (nothing is shown). There is a short dialogue where both main characters exchange playful curse words that get bleeped out with a censor box placed over their mouths. In the first ten minutes of this episode the words "homosexual" and "lesbian" are used casually and later on Wendy calls two men "hormone jockeys". There are some funny references especially with a musician that hangs out in Wendy's hallway, but for the most part this is just hard to follow. Don't waste your time watching this. They've only made three episodes and I doubt they'll make more anyway.ABC Family Channel has a new tag line "A New Kind of Family". If this is what they think we want as family television programming, they are sadly confused. This show belongs on a different channel, but it won't last anyway so it's not worth complaining about.
