11 Quotes That Prove 'The Middle' Is The Best Show On Television

On Tuesday, October 11, the Heck family returns to our televisions after a long summer apart. ABC’s (in my opinion, extremely underrated) sitcom (seriously, give these actors some Emmys), The Middle, is entering its eighth season. Over the years, the show’s caused viewers to laugh out loud, brought tears to our eyes, and even shared some words of wisdom, and the 11 quotes below are the most touching, laugh-inducing, and memorable moments from the show’s seven seasons.

1. “This is an American family. Yeah, we yell and fight, we eat bad food, we watch too much TV…” – Frankie

A spot-on definition of the American family.

2. "Hey, keep TV out of this. We need TV. We got nothing else." -Mike


The Hecks understand that television is an absolute necessity for survival. It should really be ranked in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

3. “I rode the caffeine pony and it took me to the depths of hell.” – Sue

When over-caffeinated, it can be difficult to function, but let’s be real – it’s more difficult to function when you’re under-caffeinated.

4. "Your choice of font says more about you than the words it's written in." - Brick

This quote would look great on an inspirational wall poster.

5. “I can’t handle a love triangle. I’m not a Kardashian.” – Sue

Can the Kardashians even handle a love triangle, though?

6. “I know. I know. I’m being ridiculous. It’s a stupid TV show but I just can’t shake it…” – Frankie

While watching the season finale of The Bachelor, Frankie is all of us.

7. My first impulse is to always eat things.” – Axl

Same.

8. "Hey if you get a chance bring some spoons home from the cafeteria. It's not stealing cause we pay taxes." – Frankie

The exact thought process of every college student who’s also a Whole Foods customer.

9. “I don’t exactly have a ton of friends. I have books. You don’t read, you don’t understand. You don’t know what it’s like to live in different world, to travel on great adventures through the galaxy with people you know better than your own family, to live and die with them. These are my friends, my best friends in the world.” – Brick

Reading is the best way to immerse yourself in another world, and you can always find a friend between the pages of a novel.

10. “…Together we are awesome. But alone, only I am still awesome.” – Axl

Way to be humble.

11. "We're all gonna die, and we're all gonna have a gravestone with a dash on it...and that dash represents your life. And the thing I know for sure is cause of my family, is that dash will have meant something." - Mike

Family is there from the beginning to the end, and everything in between. The Middle reminds us that family gives life meaning.

The Middle authentically displays an American family – a family who is not without flaw, but who love each other above all else. So bring on season eight – I’m ready for the lessons, the heartfelt moments, and all of the laughs to come.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
