I don't have cable. And one show that I've gotten into based on my very limited antenna tv options is "The Middle" And it is FUNNY! They play reruns at night and I try to stay up from midnight to 1 am to watch. I have been known to laugh out loud at times, like when Frankie ate Axl's toenails on accident. Cause how?! If you haven't seen the show, this may contain spoilers. Their family is just hilarious. I mean, it does slightly bother me that they don't seem to devote the necessary time to teaching and nurturing their kids. But I do realize they do the best they can with what they have and they obviously love their kids.
Speaking of kids... Axl is just funny. He is so thick headed. But 1) he's cute, let's be real and it's ok cause he's really not as young as he plays on tv. and 2) the small amount of times he does sweet things for Sue makes me so happy. I am SUCH a sucker for good siblings. (ahem Dean Winchester) I think you should be there for your siblings. I always wanted a big brother. Is it too late, or...? And Sue. I feel so bad for her. She is just oblivious to how uncool and awkward she is. At least I know that about myself. And how she has no idea Brad is gay. haha. Oh Sue. Brick is all kinds of strange, but I relate to his book loving, keep-to-yourself attitude. They whole whisper under the breath thing is half funny/half annoying. And omg the episode where they didn't make him cross the bridge drove me nuts. But overall, I like all the kids.
And the parents.. I wish Mike would be more involved in his kids' lives. Like how he's uncomfortable talking to Sue. That shouldn't be a thing. And how the kids act so surprised if they want to do something as a family because that's not how they do things. Frankie is kind of frantic, but she does have to pick up a lot of the slack.
Overall, I think it's so funny to watch. So if you haven't, give it more than one try. The first time, I thought it was weird, but it grows on you.
