How Does The Middle End
'The Middle' Comes to an End
The remarkably successful ABC comedy 'The Middle' is coming to an end with its 9th and final season premiering on October 3rd! The show comedically, but realistically follows the life of a middle-class family from Orson, Indiana. Frankie and Mike Heck played by Patricia Heaton and Neil Flynn are your typical, but not so typical parents. The playful, and sarcastic banter between Frankie, a dental hygienist and Mike, a quarry manager has most families crying with laughter during each episode. Their three children: Axl Heck (Charlie McDermott), Sue Heck (Eden Sher) and Brick (Atticus Shafer) are quite a handful, but immensely add to the dynamic of the show. Axl is the funny, self-assured but caring older brother. …show more content…
The show is refreshing in the way that it does not only show the "White Picket Fence" family that is often portrayed in television. Many viewers keep watching the show because they identify with the characters and the struggles that the family faces. The family does not let their struggles or status define them nor hinder what is truly important, even if it takes some time for them to realize.
The show is also fantastic because it is for families and caters to people of all ages. Everyone who watches is able to find some way to relate, whether it is to the storyline, a specific character or episode. If you have not yet been convinced to tune in and watch the 9th season of 'The Middle' here are some reviews and comments about the show by some viewers:
"What I like about 'The Middle' is that it is a well written comedy focused on what is a seemingly normal family trying to live their lives while dealing with issues that most families could relate" - Robert
"I liked the quick wit of the show and how different personalities were presented as mainstream"-

    Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life

    In my revised review of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, I made several major changes primarily related to revival culture. The first change I made was using Fuller House and Girl Meets World as specific examples for failed revivals in the third paragraph. Later in the fifth paragraph I explain why Fuller House failed, despite meeting the criteria I gave for a successful revival. Then in the sixth paragraph I explain why Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life was successful in comparison. In this paragraph, I also begin to address Amy Sherman-Palladino’s purpose in creating the revival.…

    Blood Brothers Analysis

    As a member of the audience, you were affected by the emotions portrayed on stage; at the end of the play you really felt sad and sorry for the characters left. I enjoyed the play entirely, especially the use of monologues and direct address and stylised theatre throughout the performance, I found this really engaging as a member of the audience. I would recommend the show to most people, as I found it very entertaining and engaging, but also it contained a deeper comment on class structure and how unfair this is. However, I understand this play may not be for everyone, as musicals and singing are not something which everyone would enjoy.…

    An analysis on the TV show Modern Family

    Television network ABC Family’s breakout comedy series, Modern Family, is a show full of life lessons and hidden meanings. Most television shows nowadays are all about sex, alcohol, and the dramas that occur because of them. Modern Family is not an exception, however it focuses more on the family aspect of life’s many dramas. On the surface, it is similar to the sex and drugs filled television shows that consume the media these days, but underneath that surface each episode has a moral to be learned, and the show overall represents many different assumptions America makes on what a “typical” family is.…

    Mr Letterman's Influence On The Show

    The reviews of Mr. Letterman’s shows were mostly positive. Others who didn’t like Letterman were either scared of and him and his wits or just jealous of him and his natural ability to entertain. But all in all, Letterman was well praised by everybody. For example, “Mr. Letterman showed that late-night TV could offer more than a what’s-in-the-news monologue. He made his show a home for misfits and oddballs” (Itzkoff 1). Letterman showed that to have a radical show there is no need for elaborate sets or monologues for his show. All there was is that he was real and down to earth. Also, you didn’t have to be a stuck-up socialite to be on his show. Letterman shows variety and pragmatic elements on his show. “As the first late-night host to come…

    Watching this movie, I found myself laughing, then crying and then laughing and feeling happy. I found myself relating to the characters, most of them in one way or another which was a good feeling. I saw the insecurity in Evelyn, the way that she is so passive and shy. She is very naïve. She is trying to get her husband to pay attention to something other than sports on television. He comes home from work, picks up his dinner that has been set on the table, grabs a beer and then he sits in his chair and ignores her. The stubbornness of Idgie, she is one that does what she wants, when she wants and won’t follow the rules, even if they are in her best interest. The quiet strength of Ruth, she can be the…

    The Go Between

    On October 24, 1945 in the aftermath of World War 2, many countries united together and formed “the united Nations”. The idea of UN was to have an intergovernmental organization, with the purpose of secure future generations from having a conflict as the one World War 2 caused. This is why on December 10, 1948 in Paris, as a common standard achievement for all people around the world. But the question is now. Are these 30 rights being promised by the different countries? Unfortunately some of the human rights are not being observed and that is why there are many immigrants in for example in The United States. The reason people is trying travel from their own country to another is often because of poverty or war. But what is the reason having these common standards rules if people are not able to respect them? This is for many people a great deal, and that is why many politicians discuss this topic.…
