The Middle - Sky 1

[turnitup]

Anyone been watching this?

I love it, watched with the kids tonight and they love it too. Best new comedy I've seen in ages.

Loved the ep when they missed 'trash day' with the whole bottle nightmare, so funny.

I too championed this a few weeks ago and no-one joined in . having watched the first 2 episodes of the new modern family series I think 'the middle' is just nudging ahead at the moment. Its so 'real'. They said they were having a 'family night'. They'd all eat and spend 'quality time' together. This translated as slumped on the sofa with a takeaway watching 'dancing with the stars'. Also episode about being super skint. A letter arrived, they opened it and said 'oh no its 2009'. It transpired that they;d bought loads of stuff, 'buy now and you dont have to pay til 2009'. Then they all went to the cheap food shop and bought masses of stuff past its sell by date! I could go on, but there is something we can identify with in every single episode!

I like this too. Very funny. Not sure it is quite as good as Modern Family though

I've only watched one ep of MF, is it one that grows on you as I wasn't impressed.

FoJo - Yes, I agree on all your points - I can soooo indentify with the mum. Also loved the one with the family football and this week when she said 'oh but i love doing the tree' when it's really more like 'is it only me doing this damn tree' lol funny.

Even my DH was sniggering and he hates all sitcoms.

I loved the oh no it's 2009, and we owe 500 on a CD player we sold for 20p at the yard sale last month - hilarious. I found it a slow grower but me and the DC's love it now. I still think Modern Family is the funniest thing on TV though I love that.

just watched the earthquake episode of modern family - very good

I love the ?I made dinner? call as they walk in with take out
(whispers takeout to self)

I so saw myself in the shouty mum episode

Was my favourite ep for far though!

Last 2 episodes of series 1 at 6pm.

Then series 2 begins on Monday 7.30, woo hoo

It is a good family programme for us to watch together. Loved the Mother's Day episode which was so true. I actually dread Mother's Day having to spend all day darting between mothers across the country. Fortunately my DM agrees too.
