It bothers me so much! It seems like every single episode he is either talking with food in his mouth or talking while brushing his teeth. It’s gross and I hate it 😭
SPOILER ALERT ‼️
When Sue says ‘yes’ to Darrin’s proposal, Axl says something like, “Oh no! She’s gonna be Sue Sue McGrew!”
But in the end she becomes ‘Sue Sue Donahue!!’😂😂😂 It still rhymes 😅😂
I'm doing a rewatch & recently saw S8 E18 "The Par-tay", & I'm feeling a bit cheated that we didn't get to see Brick at college... I definitely enjoyed seeing him make the most of his visit, & I can imagine him coming into his own during his college years!
And I must admit - he was spot on about Perry Como at the "par-tay" - I haven't been able to get that song out of my head!!!
I sure miss them... 😥
I’ve watched the series a million times but I really don’t remember what happened to it in the end 🤔
Kind of a weird point, but does anyone else find it a little odd they always show Mike brushing his teeth? Frankie works in a dentist's office, so I figure if they would show anyone doing that all the time, it would be her.
In S9E2, Brick makes what I believe is a reference to Notting Hill when he says, "So there it is. No whoops, no whispers. Just a boy standing in front of a dad, asking him to speak at career exploration day." I have seen this show many times and notice a new thing every rewatch. That's why I love this show so much. What references have you guys seen in The Middle?
Today we’ll be doing Mikes dad AND his brother rusty :)
I’m sure it’s previously been discussed, but what’s everyone’s thoughts on Logan?
Personally, I REALLY LIKE HIM! Every time I rewatch the show I still really like him. I wish him and Sue could’ve had more time together, they could’ve been really great. We literally only get like 3 episodes but he was so great to Sue and so sweet. They could’ve had something really special but they had to go & make him a priest LOL
Just wanna know others thoughts, cause I feel like he should have been a bigger character/had more time in the show
We get TWO “Everybody Loves Raymond” reunions on this show…but we never got a “Scrubs” reunion?
Even though Sam Lloyd was in a handful of episodes?
Does it bother anyone else that Axl is 15/16 in season 1 (he's already driving and I'm pretty sure it is stated at some point during the season 1 episodes that he is 16) but doesn't graduate high school until the end of season 4? And Sue is 13 at the beginning of the show and graduates high school at the end of season 6, which would put her at 19 age-wise? I'm sorry, but these kinds of continuity errors bug the hell out of me!
Wow, I think this is my favorite episode up to this point. Probably the best episode ever for both Axl and Frankie. Axl with a really good moment at the end. The actor that played the substitute preacher was really good. Very rewarding at the end and a very funny outing. I also like the cleverly worded title.
Before they went off to college, Axl , Sue and Brick , all did the chores. So, how come Brick doesn’t know how to clean the bathroom? They used the same pointer thingy to decide whose turn it was to do the chores, right? So surely he must have done this before.
But I love the episode of course. And love the line, “ Its the filth and grime that holds this house together. “
Today, it’s Reverend Tim Tom!
When Sue finds out that Brick has a fake ID, he explains that font club is underfunded. And that their treasurer is very talented with low scruples. At least until he got expelled.
Other than the one episode where kids could get credit for attending Font Club, it was only Brick, Cindy, and Troy.
Also, would Brick trust anyone other than one of the three of them to be treasurer? I'm not buying it.
So lately I've been a little sick of my family, rough, I know, and I'm rewatching The Middle, already passed the chapter that Mike gave Frankie a "day off" and left her alone for Mother's Day. It's funny to me cause in some way it was a good gift considering how shitty her family is to her but she didn't knew how to make the most of it, but back to the point, me. My family is a little sensitive regarding the feelings we all have towards each other, but I've been wanting a day alone for so long but I don't know how to approach it to them without hurting their feelings. Any advice?
Idk his name.
Today, we’re going to do Frankie!! I wish I could of saved Sue for today, seeing as today is her leap day birthday :) Happy Birthday to Sue!!!
Anyone else feel really bad for poor Brick because Frankie totally blew him off? I still cannot get over the whole Sue is a “Native American” thing 🤣 I wonder how Eden felt about the scene where Sue kept insisting she was white and only wanted to join white people clubs. Also, Mike being all “just go to sleep and feel better tomorrow!” while Sue was upset and she just looked at him like “ … seriously?” And how she puked inside a music box lol. I wish I could’ve seen the scene where she had the meltdown over the tray and just dropped it and ran 😆
Still felt bad for Brick though. Really Frankie? I mean I get it was supposed to be funny but come on. She never remembered his birthday either. If I remember correctly, didn’t she invite him to go with her to Axl’s? I feel bad enough that I don’t spend as much time with my own mom and dad as I used to, aside from visiting at the house and family dinners.
A very Happy Birthday to Sue Heck. One of the most inspiring characters, epitome of optimism and someone who always makes me smile proving that smiling certainly is infectious. Wish we had more people like her whose positivity could inspire us more.
Today I finished watching the last episode and I'm very sad. Are there no extras or spinoffs from anyone in the series? I need more The Middle!
Leap Year (3.18)
Streaming: Peacock, Prime Video
Logline: Sue’s birthday falls on February 29th, and she asks her mother for a surprise party. A girl joins Brick’s social skills group. Frankie learns that Mike has adopted a stray cat at work.
Review: Sue tells her mother that her true birthday only comes once every four years, so she really wants a surprise party. Frankie insists they aren’t planning anything special, and ultimately, they end up planning nothing at all, waking up at 3 in the morning the day after Sue’s birthday and throwing together a party that Sue loves so much that she has nothing left to wish for. This doesn’t really take advantage of Leap Day, but it's still fun to watch.
More Leap Day sitcom episodes here!
My husband just got me tickets to see Eden’s show in Houston! I was wondering how intense it gets? I just had my third child 4 months ago and I’m still in the postpartum phase. Will this show be triggering?
Thanks!
they needed a bit more development but they had a good start. they were rly cute and i much much prefer axl with cassidy than with lexie
they should NOT have made cassidy break up with axl like she did and for the reason that she did
this is my ultimate comfort show and after years of waiting and hoping for it to come back to streaming platforms i decided to buy all available seasons on YouTube.
but why why why do they only have seasons 1-4 available everywhere? we need a petition to make this happen!
i’m so annoyed at myself for being cheap in the past and not buying all seasons when they were available 😭
