The Middle is an American sitcom about a working-class family living in Indiana and facing the day-to-day struggles of home life, work, and raising children. The show premièred September 30, 2009 on the ABC network and features Everybody Loves Raymond actress Patricia Heaton and Scrubs actor Neil Flynn.[1] The Middle was created by former Roseanne and Murphy Brown writers Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline of Blackie and Blondie Productions. The show is distributed by Warner Bros. Television Distribution and Blackie and Blondie Productions. The Middle has been praised by television critics and earned numerous award nominations.

On March 3, 2016, the series was renewed for an eighth season.[2]

Premise

Further information: List of The Middle episodes

The series features Frances "Frankie" Heck (Patricia Heaton), a working class, middle-aged, Midwestern[3] woman and her husband Mike (Neil Flynn), who reside in the small fictional town of Orson, Indiana. They are the parents of three children, Axl (Charlie McDermott), Sue (Eden Sher), and Brick (Atticus Shaffer).[4]

The series is narrated by Frankie, initially an under-performing salesperson at a used-car dealership and later a dental assistant. Her stoic husband Mike manages a local quarry and serves as a stabilizing influence in the family. Frankie has often complained about his lack of affection at times. The kids are quite different from one another: oldest son Axl, a popular but under-motivated and cynical teenager, does well in sports but not in academics; daughter Sue is an enthusiastic young teen but chronically unsuccessful and socially awkward; and youngest son Brick is an intelligent but introverted compulsive reader with odd behavioral traits.

Development and production

The series was originally developed in the 2006–07 development cycle and was to star Ricki Lake as Frankie.[4] Atticus Shaffer was the only actor to retain his role when the show was re-developed.[6] The series was created by Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline (who is from Muncie, Indiana)[7] and the pilot was directed by Julie Anne Robinson.

Though based on Jasper, Indiana, Orson is actually a studio lot in Los Angeles. Set director Julie Fanton shops at Target and Kohl's so the show appears to have a realistic middle-class look.[7]

The series was picked up for a full season of 24 episodes after airing just two episodes.[8] On January 12, 2010, ABC Entertainment President Steve McPherson announced that he was renewing The Middle for a second season.[9][10] The show was renewed for a third season. The third season premiered with a one-hour episode on September 21, 2011. On May 10, 2012, ABC renewed the show for a fourth season,[11] which premiered with a one-hour special on September 26, 2012. The show was renewed for a fifth season on May 10, 2013. ABC confirmed on May 9, 2014 that the series was picked up for a sixth season of 22 episodes,[12] and officially ordered an additional two episodes in October of that year, bringing the season six total to 24.

On May 8, 2015, ABC officially picked up the series for a seventh season, renewing the contracts of the main cast at the same time.

The Middle has received critical acclaim, citing its unique and original characters along with how many families easily relate. It holds a score of 71 on the review aggregator website Metacritic as of April 1, 2011.[21] Critics praise the show's realistic look at the middle class, its good timing, writing, and acting, with Robert Bianco of USA Today saying, "...This series seems to more assuredly offer a first-class version of what so many viewers say they want: a humorous, heartfelt, realistic look at middle-class, middle-America family life."[22] The praise has been, so far, consistent, with Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker saying that, in season two, The Middle continues to be "...a rock-solid show, the saga of a family struggling to keep their heads above the choppy economic waters..."[23] In the 2009–2010 season, The Middle ranked number six on Metacritic's "Best Reviewed New Network Show" list.[24] Airing behind the quickly cancelled Hank during its first season, ratings were not impressive at first. At the beginning of the 2010/2011 season, ABC moved the show to 8:00pm and ratings increased substantially, with the show usually ranking second in its time slot to CBS's Survivor.
