Aw Heck! ABC has renewed The Middle sitcom for a sixth season.
The Middlefollows the Heck family from a small town in Indiana as they try their best to get ahead. They’re played by Patricia Heaton, Neil Flynn, Charlie McDermott, Eden Sher, and Atticus Shaffer.
Like most shows, The Middle is down year-to-year (by nearly 10% in the demo) but this series has remained a consistent performer for the network on Wednesdays at 8pm. That’s particularly important since ABC continues to struggle to find new comedy hits. Of this year’s crop, only The Goldbergs is a moderate success (it’s also been renewed).
What do you think? Are you glad that The Middle is returning for a sixth season or do you think the show should have been cancelled? How long should it run?
I have been waiting for new show s. Funny show. Glad it is back
I love the show “the middle”. I didn’t pick up on it until Hallmark started showing it every weekday. I’ve bought the first five seasons and am now looking for season six to buy (dvd). Sorry I saw this web site so much later than everyone else! (Dec.2014) What a great sit com and I don’t usually go for them.
The Middle is great! It’s a loving family, it’s clean enough for the whole family to watch (which is rare, nowadays), and most notably, they don’t make the father look like a complete moron (as so many shows do). This season is a bit annoying though, in that they’re typically on every second week, rather than weekly, so I’m feeling a little ripped off this season. I’d like to see where they can go with this show as the kids get older.
I absolutely love the middle. It’s very seldomf that i love all of the characters on a sitcom but yes here it is this is the one. It’s so genuine and just about as close to reality as you can get. It’s just real life at its best, that most won’t admit to actually living themselves. True family love in the end.
I love the show “The Middle,” and I hope you will continue to renew it. Although we do not have children, I still find the characters interesting, funny, and engaging as we see them develop. I especially like the fact that all the characters have personality issues that cause them to struggle on a daily basis. Good writing!
Love this show, really funny.
The middle family reminds me of my own
which allows me to think I’m doing a good job.
Go the HECKS !!!!!!
My husband and I love The Middle. I haven’t seen my husband laugh so hard at a show since Frasier was cancelled. It really keeps us in stitches! I hope it runs for 15 seasons!!
This show is by far our family favorite! We don’t miss an episode. How did they get my family on tv. Lol
I lOVE The Middle & each of the characters. i admire the actors as well. So nice to have a family whose differences are normal , not hateful & at bottom, care for each other. I can identify with their situations. each week. It’s the only show I reserve the time to sit in front of the tv & watch live. That’s not to say I don’t watch the tapes repeatedly. Thanks ABC for showing good judgment in renewing a jewel of a show.
Oh Yeah !!!! Love “the middle,” so glad they renewed the middle, my favorite show ever. I even got my husband hooked on the show, we look forward to it !!!! It is so funny, we laugh out loud, everyone in the sitcom is halarious. I have always loved Patricia Heaton, Neal Flynn is the best TV husband ever ! The kids are each perfect for the parts they portray. All in all GREAT SHOW !!!!!!

ABSOLUTELY glad for the renewal. LOVE The Middle
Yes, my hubby and I, too, love this show we both laugh out loud every week when we watch it. Never have missed an episode. It’s the best sitcom on TV!
I AM SO GLAD “THE MIDDLE” HAS BEEN RENEWED…IT IS SUCH A GREAT SHOW…EVERYTIME I WATCH I LAUGH OUT LOUD… THIS SERIES IS SO MUCH FUNNIER AND HAS MORE HEART THEN THE OVER RATED “MODERN FAMILY”
Sean, I agree completely with you. This one is laugh out loud funny…. the “overrated” one is seldom funny at all.
