Most years, ABC waits until the final second to renew The Middle. Not this year because it is the first script show on the Alphabet network to be renewed for another season. It’s 9th!
Channing Dungey, president, ABC Entertainment, explained her decision as, “‘The Middle’ has been one of the network’s most consistent performers and helped us to launch a whole new night of comedy when it moved to Tuesdays this season.” Because of the sucess that it has had on the other shows on its new night, I wouldn’t be surprised if ABC picked up American Housewife and Fresh Off the Boat, the two shows that air directly afterwards, in a very short time. I also expect ABC to renew its 4 Wednesday comedies, The Goldbergs, Speechless, Modern Family and Black-ish, too. Along with Friday’s Last Man Standing and Dr Ken.
When it comes to The Middle, this family sitcom has the best father on television. The stuff they write for Neil Flynn and the way he delivers it, is the best father to child speeches I have ever seen on television. I have grown up on family shows my whole life, so when I say it is the tops, I know what I am talking about. Why this show isn’t recognized more for its heartwarming writing and acting is beyond me. You should watch it because I promise you won’t be disappointed!
