Re: The Middle (ABC) -- Series Thread
 

On one hand, I don't think this could ever capture the magic of the original. On the other hand, if they had a ton of cameos, they could certainly try. I would love to see them try.

The Pilot must have sucked. Plus, ABC is going through a regime change since their President just resigned.

On an unrelated note, I'm a little surprised that WB hasn't sold off The Middle for streaming yet. Maybe it will appear on their own service next year. The TV syndication money must be great that they don't need it.

Just discovered this show. Courtesy of some Brick clips on youtube.

I'm enjoying it, no annoying characters, no laugh tracks. Not great, but I like it better than Modern Family or the TBBT.

In their prime, MF and TBBT were better than The Middle. I think the big difference was that The Middle maintained a very high quality throughout the entire run. Whereas the other two are shadows of them former selves. Been running on fumes for years.
