The Middle

Genre: Drama, Comedy

Starring : Patricia Heaton, Neil Flynn, Eden Sher, Atticus Shaffer, Charlie McDermott, Chris Kattan

"Forget about athletes, movie stars and politicians. Parents are the real heroes but Frankie Heck (Patricia Heaton), well she's some kind of superhero. A loving wife and mother of three, she's middle class in the middle of the country and is rapidly approaching middle age. Frankie and her husband, Mike, have lived in Jasper, Indiana their whole lives. A man of few words (every one a zinger), Mike is a manager at the town quarry and Frankie is the third-best used car salesman (out of the three) at the local dealership. She may not be a high-powered career woman, but when it comes to her family, she'll go to just about any length. And with kids like these, she had better. There's Axel, her semi-nudist teenage son conceived with Guns N' Roses playing a significant role; Sue, the awkward teenage daughter who fails at everything with great gusto; and their seven-year-old son Brick, whose best friend is his back-pack. From executive producers/writers Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline (How I Met Your Mother, Committed, Murphy Brown) comes a single-camera comedy about raising a family and lowering your expectations."

The Middle is a great show for the family to watch. Families members can relate to the situations and characters in the show. Like every family, teenagers will have their moments but it is the younger son 'Brick' which steals the show. Brick is a very unique and different character compared to the average little boy. He is extremely intelligent for his age and has a strange habit of repeating the last word of his sentences to himself. Viewers will find watching not only Brick but all the characters on the show entertaining as all their different personalities are brought together.
