My favorite ever scene was when Sue and Carly challenge the scary neighbourhood family to a fight.

I think they may have set it up so Axl doesn't go away to college though after all, with the foot injury.

I love all the sky comedies apart from trolled. Me and the kids watch the middle, modern families, spy and we used to watch moone boy which was the best thing I have seen in ages.

losing I agree Moone Boy was really good ,we don't watch Spy ( don't like Robert Lindsay) but we love Trollied , this series in particular has been really good , although my DCs are older and its probably a bit crude for younger children. I think Sky have some fantastic output , we also particularly enjoyed Stella .

Maybe they didn't air one there because of the election or something?

is it thanksgiving in the US or football sometimes the programmes go a bit all over the place this time of the year , I prefer modern family i must admit i properly laugh out loud at it,

I absolutely love this show, I love Mod Fam as well but think that the Middle has got the edge.

Me and dd vie with each other to do the Brick 'whoooop' at inappropriate moments.

I love Sue, amazed that the actress is 21. And Axel is my favourite. I love the bit where his mum and dad tell him to get a job to buy a car and he says 'OH MY GOD, you're my mom, it's your job to work yourself to death for your kids'.

It's really funny and I love it.

When dd gets all 'oh GOD' I call her Axel.

Frankie is a great actress, I used to really like her in Everybody Loves Raymond and her rows with her terrible mother in law.

I like the episodes where Ray's mother turns up as Brick's 3rd grade teacher and calls Frankie "dear", much in the same passive-aggressive way she did in Raymond.

There are going to be lots of weeks where there is no new season 4 episode though, as they started showing it here so soon after it returned to American TV.

That seems to be how they do TV in America - they run series from September to May, which is way too many weeks when most series have about 24 episodes. So some weeks there is no new episode.

And they do mid-series breaks like we do for Christmas, but their typical hiatus is longer - hence the sudden cliffhangers you got in the middle of series like Desperate Housewives, for the "mid-season finale."

Wow the actress who lays Sue is 21!
I love The Middle, I really like watching a sitcom about a working class American family for once instead of them all living in perfect houses.
Mind you it took me ages to work out that it wasn't a spin off of Malcom in the Middle due to the mums looking similar and Brick ad Dewie being so similar. Even my sister thought it too, had to demonstrate all my googling knowledge.

I prefer the Middle to Modern Family because I feel I identify with the Hecks much better.
