I kind of like the relationship developing between Bob and Mike. When Mike threw him out of the house a few weeks back, I was actually a bit taken aback. Sure, Bob’s a bit — okay, a lot awkward, but he has a good heart and he’s a decent guy. And he’s good friends with Frankie.
…
I think with this episode, ‘The Middle’ strayed further into surreality than we’re used to seeing. I’ve always thought of the show as a surprisingly realistic take on middle class families in middle America, but everything about this episode had reality amped up to the proverbial “eleven.”
…
And it’s not even that the episode didn’t have plenty of laughs, because it did. I loved when Sue yelled at Axl that he was the most irresponsible person she’d ever met, and then handed him a baby to take care of. But the same laughs could have been achieved without having to sacrifice that carefully crafted third dimension for our characters.

There were some authentic moments in the episode, though, like the scene with Mike and Frankie in bed when she realized that she’d become a yelling mom, and she didn’t want to be that. It was pure Mike when he said, “Well, it’s too late now.” And the video Frankie made to show them how horrible their behavior was backfired on her so masterfully, that I couldn’t help myself laughing by the end of it.

As long as the heart of the show remains strong, it’ll be fine. Just keep an eye on that reality check light, please.

We love The Middle and Brick, and so does Clique Clack on their review of the latest “The Middle” episode:

But don’t imagine that Brick is any less my far-and-away favorite. His looking in the mirror act? Are you kidding me? Amazing! “It usually copies me, but sometimes … it doesn’t.” And he keeps at it, like it’s a regular routine of his to catch his reflection either slacking or rebelling. I wonder if he does the same show with his shadow?

Frankie observes what she thinks are the perfect siblings, and it becomes her mission in life to make her kids stop fighting with one another and interact as a loving family. Meanwhile, Mike contemplates firing Aunt Edie after she makes a costly mistake at the quarry.

We had a number of good stories last night on The Middle. The always brilliant Brick was angling to go to his first corn maze, Sue got a boyfriend, and Frankie faced working on Thanksgiving. While the first and third plots were intertwined, Sue and her fancy new friend Brad (Brock Ciarlelli) stood on their own.
