Review: The Middle – The Scratch

TV Squad has a review of last night’s episode of “The Middle”, here are the highlights:
Right from the beginning, The Middle had me in familiar territory. I remember rushing around the house gathering trash and trying to get it out to the curb before the trash truck finished at the neighbor’s house. And I remember just missing it; what a horrible feeling that was.

From there, while I was still able to enjoy the episode for the laughs it offered, I was just as equally terrified. As a parent, I’ve often wondered just how close we are to having the state take our children away. How innocent a comment or statement would it take before these agencies swoop down on our lives with all their self-righteous glory and scare the living crap out of us that they’re going to tear our families apart?
…
As always, Sue was a highlight of the episode. She spent most of it crying at the prospect of the family being torn asunder, but still got in a great visual gag when she ran into the sliding glass door. I also totally agree with Frankie’s assessment that this is why you don’t clean glass doors. Those things are dangerous.
