[note this is different from the other one, someone beat me to the idea, this one already has more than 600 signatures!]

Do you guys remember Special Unit 2???? They are going to let this show die the way that one did!! They are both great shows....personally I am sooooooooo sick of reality shows!!

We can't give up! We just have to keep hoping that it will be renewed!!

As far back as at least July, during the San Diego Comic-Con, it has been commonly known that the decision to renew the series would factor in DVD sales and, presumably, sales of the show to international TV markets. So, when Javi tells io9 that ABC Family is unlikely to order more episodes any time soon, this really isn’t a piece of shocking, revelatory news! For further confirmation that again, no action has been taken to renew or cancel The Middleman, I would suggest that you look at Javi’s recent entry on his Live Journal middleblog, which states in no uncertain terms, that NO decision has yet been made as to the fate of the show!

Should we be concerned if someone starts talking about how the sets for the show have been broken down? Absolutely not, since it makes perfect sense that the studio owning the soundstage would rather be making money by allowing further TV or movie production to take place, rather than having empty, unused sets occupy that valuable space.

Can an actor appear on two shows at the same time? Yes, an actor can easily appear on different shows if they were NOT produced at the same time. The Middleman is currently not in production, which allows Natalie Morales to work on the Boldly Going Nowhere pilot. However, if you look at the Boldly Going Nowhere IMDb page, you’ll see that there are two actresses listed as playing the part of Ruby, Natalie and Yara Martinez. This could mean one of two things: a) these actresses are actually playing two separate parts; or b) the part of Ruby has been recast, with Natalie or Yara getting the nod. Furthermore, the Boldly Going Nowhere pilot is currently in post-production, and hasn’t even been scheduled to air, which isn’t the case with Brendan Hines’ new series, Lie to Me.

Brendan Hines, who plays the recurring character of Tyler Ford on The Middleman, is a series regular, Eli Loker, on the Fox midseason Tim Roth-vehicle, Lie to Me, premiering January 21, 2009. If Lie to Me is successful, does this mean that Tyler will have to be written out of The Middleman? Not necessarily, because again, The Middleman is not currently in production. However, even if the shows were to be shooting at the same time, the producers of the respective shows may be able to adjust their schedules to allow the same actor to appear on both shows at the same time.

So in conclusion, there really isn’t ANY news about The Middleman being renewed or cancelled. The only recent, relevant news is that the show has been airing in the English-speaking Asian TV markets of Hong Kong, Singapore, and The Philippines, via AXN Beyond, which I believe means that the show has yet to air in the major international TV markets of Canada, the U.K., and Australia.

If you check the IMDB page for Natalie Morales, you'll see that she's signed onto another series on Fox, "Boldly Going Nowhere".

Here's another possible cancellation indicator. I don't know if this is because the holidays are coming or they are just clearing out stock from a canceled show, but all the Tee Shirts have been reduced in price by $10. Although I notice there are now 8gig iPod Nanos that I don't remember being there.
