In the Heck family, middle-age, middle-class, middle-America mom Frankie Heck (two-time Emmy winner Patricia Heaton) uses a sense of humor to try to steer her family through life's ups and downs as she tackles her career goals. Her unflappable husband, Mike (Neil Flynn), is a manager at the local quarry. Oldest son Axl is an obstinate young man; awkward daughter Sue cannot seem to find her niche -- despite much enthusiasm in her attempts -- and youngest son Brick is an unusual child whose best friend is his backpack.

Ariana Bacle Entertainment Weekly 03/31/2020
As long as they don't let Sue disappear and they do give Brick, who was slightly underused in this premiere, more story, The Middle is going to be just fine - and so are the Hecks. Go to Full Review Will Harris AV Club 09/24/2015

There was precious little chance that this season would kick off in any way other than with Sue being completely beside herself with excitement about starting college, and - no surprise here - The Middle did not disappoint on that front. Go to Full Review Bob Sassone Esquire Magazine 10/19/2018
Too many sitcoms nowadays go more for cleverness than wisdom. This show happens to have both. It's classic comfort food, but it also has edge and bite. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV 11/18/2015
This is a strong season for The Middle. At a time in a show's long life when it could be coasting or repeating itself, the series remains surprising. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Alice K. @GAMERALICE02 Oct 12 My comfort show. The Middle will always always always always hold a special place in my heart. I watch it nonstop.. See more Will W @RT93096103 02/19/2024 Really glad to have more of this show to watch. See more Charlie M @RT48853795 01/13/2021 This season has quite a few great episodes, but a few bad ones, also while not really following a specific storyline. It will still most definitely do it's job to entertain the family. See more 10/22/2017 This show is still making my family and I laugh even after all of these amazing 7 seasons. See more 08/28/2016 The season started not so great but after the first few episodes it was very good. See more 06/02/2016 I worried how they would keep the interest up in a family show where the characters are at a stage of going their own ways, but they have done so beautifully. I'm enjoying walking through the changes. When it could really all go wrong, it's all really gone right. The individual stories are great while somehow maintaining a beautiful cohesiveness. Great writing, great acting, great family enjoyment. Every Wednesday as I work through a lot of daily grind, I look forward to my "Wednesday night show" that evening. See more Read all reviews
