The Middle

The Middle is one of my favorite tv shows. It isn't very well known and I just discovered it over this past summer. It is hilarious! I think the reason I like it so much is because it portrays what "real" life is like (doing homework assignments the night before they're due, duct taping the washing machine shut, teasing siblings). I also love how it shows the typical teenage jock, Axl, the typical good girl, Sue, and the typical antisocial nerd, Brick. They are all hilarious and have their own personality traits that make them unique. I think I laugh the hardest in this show, tied with Modern Family. I love how the writers have chosen to include everyday struggles that normal families face, when we so often see portrayals of family life that are not reality.
