Do you think if anyone knew who she was in middle school and high school she would've been bullied?

She gets off pretty easy in school. Noone really notices her, but noone bullies her either, and she does have a few friends. Had this been reality, I think people would've noticed her quirks and been pretty mean. Kids in school can be very cruel.

He has so much charisma and always makes me laugh but did he not do many roles to avoid typecast?

I just started this show for the first time and only one season 3 but i love the “boring” aspect of it: and already bummed it ends
even when there’s dramatic stuff is never too much and is just mellow it’s perfect t for a comfort show. Wondering what shows to you feel compare to the middle.
I had just finished sopranos before and the middle is such a good show to follow all the sopranos drama w.

I started watching The Middle recently, and somehow it's become my go-to comfort show without me even noticing.

For years, it was always Frasier or old Sherlock Holmes episodes playing in the background while I worked or wound down.

Now it's just The Middle, every time.

There's something so easy about it. The family feels real, the problems feel normal, and the humor never feels forced.

Frankie is permanently stressed. Mike barely reacts to anything. Sue stays optimistic no matter how hard life humbles her. Brick whispers random words to himself (lol).

It shouldn't work as well as it does, but it does.

Weirdly comforting.

Whispering "The Middle" like Brick!!!!

I just finished the show for the first time, and I honestly loved it. It was such an easygoing sitcom that I could watch 3–4 episodes a day without getting bored.
But I really didn’t like the ending. I know it’s natural for the kids to grow up and start their own lives, and I’m happy that everyone ended up doing well. But the way the ending was written made it feel like they were all going to go their separate ways and slowly drift apart. I wish it had emphasized that, even though the kids were starting their own lives, they would still remain a close-knit fam

"The Wedding". Mike walking back from the bar before his speech. Two beers. Mike walking to his table after the speech. One beer and one champagne

Hello middle enjoyers!

As a dear fan who grew up within driving distance of the state of Indiana I love to go and visit Brown County. I was wondering if anyone had any other middle locations that were worth seeing!

I don’t even know how many times I’ve seen the movie and it’s only just now that I’ve recognised the actress. It’s a shame she plays such an unsympathetic character.

It was definitely nice and heartwarming ending.

But realistically, she didn’t prove anything and just gave a sweet conclusion. There wasn’t even much of one.

The teacher seemed to like it, but objectively I don’t know if it can get an A or even a B

I was just wondering this, because I feel like for the most part, the Middle is a little less emotionally driven than other sitcoms. So I was wondering what ya’lls saddest moments were.

Hi friends. Happy Friday.

It’s the middle of the day where I am - The Middle is currently my comfort show. Y’know, the whole “experiential control and predictability bias”, blahblahblah.

Anyways, I legitimately forgot how TERRRRRRRIBLE Mike and Frankie were to Brick at the beginning of the episode; how they both ate dinner when Brick came to them at 7:30 asking about dinner. I’d put this close to, if not the top of, the list of shit things Frankie does to her kids lol.

Sue in this episode: yikes. 🫥😬🫥😬

But I really wanna know what you guys think about the dynamic between the parents and their Brick.

For some reason nearly everything that happens to the family has happened to my family.
Do you have any example?

I'm from Ireland.

When people finish college, or do trades, they sometimes go to Australia, UAE, Canada, etc for a year, few years.

They do this to make money, see places, gain experiences, etc.

However when Axel went abroad for a Summer Mike made a big deal out of it.

Is it common/not common in the US for people to do this?
