Figured I would give this a little kick back to life.

I liked Brick's Font Cast and his one 'fan'

Dang, I completely missed that. I'll have to pay closer attention next time it's on.

One of my favorites, but like many shows, as the kids get older it loses charm.

We are having a banner made for the craft shows we do for the woodworking. We have a to choose a font. Could really use one of Brick's fontcasts now.

"I don't like people. I'm just here to get my nursing degree and get out of here."
Poor homesick Sue, now stuck with her polar opposite at her dorm. ("She called Taylor Swift a skank and I told her she's just lucky in love!" rotfl)

There are ants everywhere. How did this happened?
I thought you sprayed something.
Well, all I had was Axe bodyspray.
Well now they're more confident than ever!

Glad to have this show back and actually happy McDermott's pilot didn't pick up. That brother-sister moment at the end of last nite's ep was sweet.

Loved the line. Loved the episode.

Didn't know McDermott was involved in another pilot. The show would suffer without him.

Loved Norm and the bobcat joke.

Always preferred this to Modern Family. Quirky and fun. Missed the end when the phone rang but always willing to watch again

FRANKIE AND MIKE FINALLY MEET THE LOVE OF AXL'S LIFE BUT DISCOVER THAT SHE HAS A QUIRKY PERSONALITY TRAIT; SUE WANTS TO CHANGE HER MAJOR TO THEATER; AND BRICK IS STARTING HIGH SCHOOL AND TRIES TO CHANGE HIS IMAGE FROM WEIRD TO COOL, ON THE SEASON PREMIERE OF ABC'S 'THE MIDDLE'

'The Middle' Airs on Its New Night, Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m.

Two-time Emmy-winner Patricia Heaton stars in this warm and witty single-camera comedy about raising a family and lowering your expectations, on the season premiere of "The Middle" on its new night, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11 (8:00-8:30 p.m. EDT), on the ABC Television Network. Middle-aged, middle class and living in the middle of the country in Orson, Indiana, Frankie Heck is a harried wife and mother of three who uses her wry wit and sense of humor to get her family through each day intact. Frankie works as a dental assistant, and her unflappable husband, Mike, is manager at the local quarry and her sardonic partner in the daily grind that is raising their average - yes, most definitely average - family.

This year, the kids will find themselves breaking out of their comfort zones and navigating new situations than what they're used to - which may or may not be very comforting to Frankie and Mike.

On the season premiere episode, "The Core Group," Frankie and Mike are excited to meet April (Greer Grammer) - the love of Axl's life - but discover that love may indeed be blind when April reveals a quirky personality trait. Meanwhile, after getting bit by the acting bug while working at Dollywood over the summer, Sue wants to change her major to theater, and Brick is starting high school and making it his mission to try for a fresh start and not be considered one of the weird kids.

"The Middle" stars Patricia Heaton as Frankie, Neil Flynn as Mike, Charlie McDermott as Axl, Eden Sher as Sue and Atticus Shaffer as Brick.

Guest starring are Greer Grammer as April, Casey Burke as Cindy, Will Green as Jeremy, Brock Ciarlelli as Brad Bottig, Matt Cornett as Duncan, Crystal Shannon as freshman girl, Ted Stavros as freshman boy and Martha Thatcher as girl.

"The Core Group" was written by Ilana Wernick and directed by Lee Shallat Chemel.

Looking forward to this show. Unfortunately this show is also suffering from the kids growing up and not being cute anymore. But not as big a drop-off in quality as MF

Although the show is getting old we still enjoy it. I still find it consistently funnier than Modern Family which is the same age or close to it.

The arc with April was hilarious. That girl made dumb funny like no other in recent memory.

Tonight's episode with all of Axel's ex-gfs was fantastic. :lol:

This show has weathered the cute kids growing up better than most. We still find this one of the most consistently funny shows on TV.

Canceled. The upcoming season will be its last.

Stopped watching a couple seasons ago. Still enjoyed it, just kinda the same thing over and over and had too many shows to watch.

Heck of a run though.

Wow. Surprising. It still got decent ratings and is a good syndication show. Had a good run though. It will be missed.

Unfortunately, it's owned by Warner Bros. and not ABC.

I know. Which is why I am surprised WB wouldn't negotiate a more favorable deal for ABC so they can reap more syndication money.

JimRochester 08-02-17 03:17 PM

Still funnier than Modern Family but definitely getting long in the tooth. We still watch the syndicated repeats all the time.

I'm worried about the kid that plays Brick. What kind of roles will he be able to get? I could see him ending up on some Disney Channel show, or David Lynch could cast him if there's another season of Twin Peaks.

Re: The Middle (ABC) -- Series Thread
 
Its sad to hear, I will always be a fan, but probably a good time to end the show with the kids getting older.

Suffers from Osteogenesis Imperfecta, also know as brittle bone disease.

Does really well considering, but he'll always look younger than his age and have difficulty walking. He actually has a crapload of credits.

I hope Eden Sher will get to move on to other roles, and not be typecast after being Sue Heck.

He does voice work on the Disney Channel show the Lion Guard. I'm sure he'll get more work. He's actually become a decent actor in the time he's been on the show.

I have season 1 and 2 on dvd, I have wanted to keep collecting the seasons on dvd, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I know that the dvds stop at season 4 than went to MOD discs after that. I looked at Amazon Canada and it has the later seasons for sale on dvd. Are they actual pressed dvds or are they MOD discs?
