The Middle

Have you seen this new family sitcom?   Well.. 'new' to me.  Apparently it's in its third season and I'm just discovering it now.

The only reason we turned it on the other day is because the little kid in it looks eerily like the little brother from Malcom in the Middle.  Malcom in the Middle / The Middle.... figured it was some sort of really lame Hollywood redo.

It wasn't bad.  A couple ok laughs.  And it's nice to have a sitcom that isn't full of sexual innuendo for a change.  The little kid though, soooo freaky to watch.  Look:





This is Brick Heck from The Middle (played by Atticus Shaffer).  Remind you of anyone?















And then there's Dewey from Malcom in the Middle (played by Erik PerSullivan)


At first, I didn't want to believe that Hollywood was into cloning, but, what other explanation is there??  They even have the same squeaky little voices! (Of course, maybe all 10 year olds have the same squeaky little voices...) 




 A couple of the other characters are obviously familiar.  The dad is the janitor from Scrubs.  And the mom also played the mom from Everybody loves Raymond (she's just got a really really bad hair cut now).  I don't know who the older son is; he's got a bit of a Fonzie thing going on though.  But the sister!  For the life of me, I couldn't place the sister.  But then it hit me - Blossom!  Another look alike, albeit, with awkward braces, but still!  Unreal.



Sue Heck (played by Eden Sher)











And... Blossom, aka Amy Farrah Fowler from everyone's favourite show Big Bang Theory, (played by Mayim Bialik).







Spooky.
Almost enough to make you want to watch the show, right?

  1. I do think that Amy Farrah Fowler is the best character on that show.
