The Middle (stylized as the middle.) is an American television sitcom that aired on ABC from September 30, 2009, to May 22, 2018. The series, set in Indiana, follows a lower-middle-class family living and facing the day-to-day struggles of home life, work, and raising children.
According to the show’s adult stars, Patricia Heaton and Neil Flynn, the title The Middle refers to the middle of the country (the family resides in the fictional town of Orson, Indiana), middle age, and middle class.
- It didn't glamorize middle-class family life and celebrated a family just trying to get by. This directly contrasted shows like Modern Family, where the families live very comfortably in southern California and money is never an object.
- The kids, unlike on most modern Disney shows, weren't overly obnoxious. Another quality I loved about 'The Middle' is that the kids on the show actually talked like kids, as opposed to spoiled brats who are being spoonfed lines off camera.
- It depicted the realities of relatable situations like applying to college and fitting in at school. 'The Middle' never sugarcoated its depictions of activities that are tedious, awkward, or nerve-wracking.
- It kept its humor clean and family-friendly for its entire run. This may make me sound like a grandmother, but 'The Middle's' brand of dysfunctional family humor is so refreshing in a world filled with cynical, extremely crass comedy.
