Is it finally happening?

THE MIDDLE is back for their 6th season premiere tonight (8/7c) and I feel like I’ve been counting down the minutes.  The show about the every day struggles of a family living in Middle America has been a favorite since day one, and tonight’s episode is no different – Frankie screws up dates, and Sue and Brick are forced to make an awkward first impression at school, while Mike and Axl fight it out repeatedly on the basketball court. Oh and in amazing news, did you hear that Sue’s braces might finally be coming off?

The combination of Mike feeling old, Frankie making a stand, a glorious search for Brick’s new backpack (because Shakwill ONill (Shaquille O’Neill) just doesn’t cut it anymore), Sue’s never ending orthodontia problems, Axl being Axl, and an overall feeling of happiness because the Hecks are back on TV? THE MIDDLE is basically perfection.
