I absolutely love this TV show called "The Middle." It features Patricia Heaton as the mom. Yes, that is the same lady who played the mom on "Everybody Loves Raymond." But do not make the elementary mistake of thinking that she is simply rehashing the same role.
Her role here as "Frankie Heck" is much more subtle, has more layers and complexities to her character. I honestly do not see her role here as the typical suburban housewife trope.
Delivery, setup, timing, and execution is spot-on perfect.
subtle, nuanced, excellently carried out.
It is painfully funny, well-written, and relatable.
This show is not gimmicky with any irritating, trying-too-hard gods-out-of machines the way that other show "Modern Family" is. Good lord, rolling my eyes in exasperation, MF is an irritating show. The fact that it gets so much dang media praise and adulation is a testament to the fact that people bend over ass-backwards to try to placate the gay people and be politically correct.
"The Middle" has solid characters written who are interesting and realistic. The writing is as in-depth, insightful, and unexpected as the first season of "Community."
See, what I really like about them is that they _know__ they are middle of the road. They're not sitting there demanding social promotion, demanding constant praise and validation for a job mediocrely-done, demanding that their mediocrity be celebrated as extraordinary. not falsely inflating self-esteem.
they are middle. they know it, we know it, onlookers know it, and they are not lying to themselves about it. They acknowledge it honestly and openly.
