Out of all the recent superhero toon like smallville,heroes, and no ordinary family superheroes on televison usually don't do straight action of adventure. Which is why the middleman is awesome. Sure it has humor and even romantic relationships but in it's core it's toon of action adventre. A toon of a hero facing evil and a toon of a sidkick traing to become a hero. This toon has it all and it did meer in it's 12 eps than smallville ever did in 10 seasons. So if u love superheroes of shows with ton of action and humor than watch the middleman.
