BOY BANDS ARE THE ROUTE OF ALL EVIL IN AN ALL-NEW EPISODE OF "THE MIDDLEMAN"

Real Life Boy Band Varsity Fanclub Guest Stars

Burbank, CA (June 30, 2008) � The Middleman and Wendy learn that there is more than just good looks and marginal talent behind a boy-band in "The Boy-Band Superfan Interrogation," an all-new episode of "The Middleman," Monday, July 21 (10:00 � 11:00 PM ET/PT).

As little warp holes are popping up throughout the city, Wendy and The Middleman are on the hunt for the culprit. Their search soon leads them to a foul-mouthed, boy-band obsessed 14-year old who is more than she seems. Realizing that this little girl is actually an alien warrior sent to prevent an exiled alien dictator and his generals, who are posing as a world famous boy-band named Varsity Fanclub, from returning to their home plant and wreaking havoc, The Middleman and Wendy step aside. But when they find out that if the little girl's plan to stop the boy-band succeeds, their loyal sidekick Ida becomes toast, they can't just wait idly by. Can The Middleman and Wendy stop Varsity Fanclub from warping back to their home planet with their curiously catchy tunes and slick dance moves without destroying Ida?

"The Middleman" stars Matt Keeslar, Natalie Morales, Mary Pat Gleason, Brit Morgan and Jake Smollett.

The series is created and executive produced by Javier Grillo-Marxuach, based on his Viper Comics Graphic Novels (illustrated by Les McClaine). "The Middleman" is also executive produced by John Ziffren, co-executive produced by Hans Beimler, supervising producer Jeremiah Chechik, with producer Jon Pare, co-producer Sarah Watson and supervising producer Tracey Stern.
