Op here. Just watched tonight's "Princess Bride" themed episode. That's my favorite movie of all time, I loved that they used it! The Goldbergs is officially on my dvr schedule now. I'm kinda glad I got sick and found it

Bryan Cranston as Hal! Jane Kaczmarek as mom (Lois) Cloris Leachman as grandma Ida?! that was comedy gold. The Middle is a pale shadow of it--but it's better than nothing.

I hate that show-really hated it. My husband loved it. He showed our boys and they all left the room. Lame.

The Middle is still good and Fresh off the Boat is a great premise and just needs funnier writers--I hope they give the show time to develop. The Goldbergs was super corny at first--but then it hit a stride. Blackish was hilarious from day one IMO.

I really relate to the relationship between Bow and her MIL on Blackish. I love it

Wednesday nights are our night as well. I would have found Beverly Goldberg super annoying before I had a kid. Now, sometimes I say to myself - I'm turning into her! Takes everything in my power not to call DS, My Delicious Boy! And sadly, I get weepy more times than I'd care to admit on both the Goldbergs and Modern Family.

Blackish makes me laugh out loud and I find myself rewinding at least once an episode. I love that the twins' names are Jack & Diane.

Sue Heck and Brick keep me coming back to The Middle.

Wow. So you don't like shows with ethnic people and you won't watch a show with gay characters. Whatever. You're missing some pretty good show--but you'll never admit it's because of your stupid prejudice. Those shows are entertaining. You could learn some positive and funny things about other cultures.

wow! now THAT was a really far-fetched and uncalled for response PP. Take your twisted thinking somewhere else.

Why would you post the lyrics to their theme song? Odd.

I'm twisted up inside, but nonetheless I feel the need to stay
I don't know the future, but the past keeps getting clearer every day

I know they weren't the best of times
I didn't pass the test, or know my lines
But it wouldn't change a thing
‘Cause all those days were mine

So I'll rewind

There’s a Polaroid picture in my mind
It’s me at 12 years old and I
Wanna tell that kid that he’s alright
These are the best years of his life

There’s an 8-bit game inside my head
Just one more hit and I’ll be dead
I’ll duck and jump and charge ahead
And I never lose, I just reset

I'm twisted up inside, but nonetheless I feel the need to stay
I don't know the future, but the past keeps getting clearer every day.

There’s an after school special in my heart
And I do my best to play my part
I learn my lesson at the start
But in the end I get torn apart

No matter how fast I go I find
A part of me gets left behind
The future calls and I decline
And turn and fight the winds of time

I'm twisted up inside, but nonetheless I feel the need to stay
I don't know the future, but the past keeps getting clearer every day

I'm twisted up inside, but nonetheless I feel the need to stay
I don't know the future, but the past keeps getting clearer every day

I think all of these shows are best suited for kids 10+ to watch WITH their parents. It's great bonding time--you'll really laugh together--it's snarky yet wholesome at the same time. It is very relatable across cultures--unless you just have some bias against any of the groups in which case--stick to Duck Dynasty.
