Javier Grillo-Marxuach’s TV series based on his Viper Comics title kicks off next week. Since there’s nothing else to watch during the summer months (not counting pay cable shows like Weeds), you may as well give it a try.

Some of you will know Javier Grillo-Marxuach from his work on Lost (he wrote some pretty great episodes, including All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues in season 1 and Orientation in season 2) and his work on Medium (one of my favorite, most underrated shows (I never watch it live, and let it stack up on my DVR but always wonder why when I finally view the episodes).

Well, Javier’s new series The Middleman starts up on ABC Family next Monday night. This is a bit of a full circle for the scribe as he had originally pitched the premise as a pilot before being convinced by Paul Dini to do it as a comicbook instead.

I haven’t read the thing yet, but plan to pick up the complete series trade paperback when it’s released late next month.

Probably more like 8 and out with the remaining five episodes on the 13 episode guarantee being nice offered only on the inevitable “Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse, the Complete Series” DVD set.
I hope I’m wrong.
