ABC announced today that this season of The Middle will be its last. The show’s creators, Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline, “Last year we sat down with our cast and made the bittersweet decision together that in this ninth season it is time to bring the Hecks’ story to a close. It’s been an amazing run, a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we’re looking forward to having an entire year to say goodbye.” Then they added, “Plus, we wanted to go out before too many people knew we were on the air.”
I am really sad to see this show go. Besides being sweet, Mike Heck gives the best father speeches ever on television. The way he talks to his kids, is what every child wants to hear their dad to say to them. I will miss those inspirational chats.
