Well, this is their last season. But I liked it because it was one of very few sitcoms where the dad was not the family idiot. In fact he seemed to be the most normal of the bunch.
The Middle is a very good show
I didn’t watch it for a long time, and then caught it in reruns. it’s actually a good show - the dad is a normal hard working dude who loves his family; the mom tries hard, but isn’t the solve it all; the oldest son tried to get by on his good looks and sports athleticism, but reality told him different; the middle child, the daughter, is girly, and a middle child; the youngest is ignored, weird, and quirky. It’s got one character that’s homosexual; just the one, not a whole gaggle.
There’s nothing wrong with the show. In fact, showing that everyone makes mistakes, no one is smarter than the other, that the dad is really the head of the house.
What’s your problem with the show?
