re: MTV board's thoughts about The Middle

We like The Middle a lot in our household.
My teenager relates to the Axl character, in fact that's a family nick for him because he's into playing sports and when he's off from school he's usually playing his guitar and would sit around in his boxer's (a al Axl) all day if I let him.

For me I like all the characters, the optimism and never give up attitude of Sue, quirky Brick with his social issues, etc.,

and its refreshing to see a sitcom NOT based on Lib values for a change.
