With "The Middle," ABC hits a homerun! Everything about this show is just great! I don't think there is a single television show more relatable than this. The writers keep it real and I love that.The family is incredibly quirky, some would argue alienated or outlandish, but I say they remind me of my own family. They are pretty much just like us. In fact, some of the one-liners are eerily similar to the thoughts the run through my head, and same for the others in the room watching.This show is so much fun. It was undeniably better in its earlier seasons but never managed to lose its spark. Something about was always there that made it special and fun. I am truly sad that season nine is their final season, but the series had a strong run. I grew up watching "The Middle," so I really will miss it and so will my family. :o)I must say that I find "The Middle" to be rather underrated. It really is a gem and is so much fun to watch. It's a perfectly clever, although funny or amusing in a slightly odd or peculiar way gem of a comedy to watch with the family. I think so many are missing out. In the end, I will always love something about this show but I can't exactly pin what that exact thing is. Watch this show if you need a good laugh or just some pick-me-up time. It does the trick. I give "The Middle" an 8.2/10.

The Middle chronicles the hectic life of the Heck's, an average, middle-class American family who lives in Orson, Indiana. While each episode depicts situations that the family and the individuals of the family get themselves into, the viewers at home are able to relate to it, as the shows target audience is average, working, middle class Americans. By the show being presented with characters that are extremely ordinary it allows the audience to relate to them. The characters are always wearing very ordinary clothing, nothing that is fancy or designer; it's clothing that could be purchased at any regular store. This allows the viewers to relate with the show and its characters because the viewers themselves wear ordinary clothing in their own real life. Even the setting of the show is what allows the viewers to relate to it. As John Fiske notes in his article Realism, having familiar settings in a show is what makes the show relatable, and is what gives the viewers the sense that the show is real. The Middle is often set in the family's home; in their kitchen, living room, and the bedrooms. At times the show travels to the parents workplaces and the children's schools. All of these settings are ones that viewers themselves go to, and where their own lives take place. The Middle is able to resonate with its viewers by being a show about a normal family who does normal things, something all viewers can relate to and find comfort in.
