Telly’s Take
The ratings have come down a little but The Middle continues to do well for ABC. This season, this sitcom helped the network cement their second night of comedy and that’s no easy feat. The network had previously said they were negotiating for a ninth season, and now ABC has renewed The Middle for season nine. The Heck family will be back in the 2017-18 television season.
8/2 update: There will be no season 10 of The Middle. The upcoming ninth season will be the final installment. Details here.

This show helps me with stress
I look forward every night to watch continuous showsIt helps me let go of life’s stress and laugh lots! Please reconsider renewing the episode I am so disappointed it is ending. I really count on it to lift my spirit
I love this show and I’m so upset it’s going to end! I look forward to it every week. I think they are making a big mistake!
PLEASE RENEW!!!
I have binge watched it all day.
I have been sick for 4 weeks & The Middle cheers me up, although I laugh so hard that it makes me cough!
This is one show that I can turn to after having a bad day to get a good laugh!
The Middle is a Clean ,Great ,Wonderful and Fun for the whole family
Glad the middle is coming back! They should have axle come back from Europe more mature – marry old girlfriend cassie – be successful but still edgy- live near his fam-brick continue with funny Cindy- sue could actually connect with brad in … oh forget it!
I’m 65 years old and I love The Middle! It is a show worth watching. Also, I think the scripts this season are the best so far! In my opinion, the writers this season did a fantastic job! Looking forward to Season 9!
In a reverse psychology kind of way, this show has taught mothers about being more organized, appreciate their children’s differences and husband / wife conflict resolution. Yah…really ! Dr. Phil has not reached so many and delivered a fun– filled set of real life family lessons. This show will be on as much as I Love Lucy for many many years…I predict.
In comparison to other mediocre or sex-laden, violence-obvious shows, this show is such a bright spot. I find the stories and jokes, just rich…and the show has no bad spots for anyone. This kind of show is very rare…keep it goin’. The casting is superb. Sue and Brick’s boy and girl friend are like, well, just funny.
The Middle is the best show on tv! I watch it every day at 4 and I look forward to Tuesday night’s in my pjs, bowl of ice cream and lots of laughing!!
If not for Frankies yelling and Stupid antics I would have watched the show more. But she drove me nuts! I loved Sue the most, and if not for her, I wouldn’t have watched at all. So I guess because of Sue, I,ll stick it out.
I love The Middle,& I watch it Monday-Friday. It is the most hilarious show ON tv!
Thank you for renewing the “MIDDLE” we need this show especially at this confusing time in our country uts the best real show that’s on tv this is my family I look forward to every Tuesday so I can get my laughing out loud — my pants fix I’m a nurse and need this hilarious outlet and I know it wasn’t will never disappoint there’s not a 30 minute spot that you can cram so many short stories in writers are the best in the business a million thank yous
