Middle, The (ABC 2009, Patricia Heaton, Neill Flynn)

Two-time Emmy-winner Patricia Heaton stars in warm and witty sitcom The Middle about raising a family and lowering your expectations. Middle-aged, middle class and living in the middle of the country in Orson, Indiana, Frankie Heck is a harried wife and mother of three who uses her wry wit and sense of humor to get her family through each day intact.

Frankie works as a dental assistant, and her unflappable husband, Mike, is manager at the local quarry and her sardonic partner in the daily grind that is raising their average – yes, most definitely average – family.
