Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

Reference point: The 2010-11 season averaged a 2.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 8.25 million viewers.

After Patricia Heaton’s horrendous comments via Twitter about Sandra Fluke I predict the show will continue to tank. The things Heaton said were disgusting and vile. I can’t believe she talks like that. I used to love The Middle but no more.

I like its warm and quirky tone. This is a decent show that isn’t normally the type of show I watch, but I like Patricia Heaton from “Everybody Loves Raymond” and I’m glad she’s back on TV. I’m glad this show is around. Keep “The Middle” going.

While I am not a huge fan of the show, I am glad to see it is doing pretty well. I tend to Tivo this show and watch it in little marathons when I am in the right mood for the show. Comedy based on stressful kids is something I can only handle at certain times. 🙂
