arguably much better than Modern Family.
The Middle is funny but unspectacular. It's rarely bad but it's also rarely great. Modern Family has it's share of misses but it also has way more high points than The Middle. I like the Middle but I think it's almost a full star/grade/point below Modern Family.

So you say it lives up to it's name?

Precisely. Let's not even use the Emmy haul as the metric. The writes on MF have memories like elephants. They're not afraid to reach back 5-6 seasons from some of the most clever jokes I've seen in a long time. Jay's birthday video that the Dunphy kids made for him. Gloria rifling through the junk drawer, looking for her keys. Barkley. All the shite Stella stole from Jay and buried in the back yard. Phil's college roomie Ling and his homemade helicopter.
The Step.
I have only seen a few episodes of The Middle, but I have seen enough to know that saying it's better than Modern Family is ridiculous.

I agree with the person who said that Modern Family is basically just a parody of itself at this point. I know they lost some good writers to other shows in the middle of these eight seasons, and that's when I think quality dipped. With the exception of a home run episode here or there, it's no longer that clever show it was in the first three seasons. I hate the characters at this point. Like if they were in any of those post apocalyptic shows on cable, I would be rooting for all of them to be killed off
