Most sitcoms in recent times are unfunny and banal but I found a few I liked. And this was one of the more recent ones I enjoyed. I know liking this show now makes me a late bloomer but I will watch reruns when they come on another network. Like Malcolm in the Middle there is no laugh track but it doesn't have to have one. It's just a neat dysfunctional family with a father, a mother, their two sons, and their daughter. The youngest (and younger son) is also Ono the cattle egret from The Lion Guard. He's also a whiz kid with a serious view of the world. Next week will be the series finale and I intend to watch the whole thing. The best part about The Middle is that there are no drugs, no sexual acts, or alcohol. What a change! It makes the show a little more family-friendly. I can't help but wonder what's next for the stars. I'll still watch Brick Heck (Atticus Schaffer) as Ono on The Lion Guard. That'll be on for a while.
