Fire Blogger should probably pick a target he's funnier than, which I'm not sure exists, to be frank.

Just updating. I've never really been a huge fan of this show. I'm not so sure many people are. It seems like a pretty average show with some passing similarities to Malcolm In The Middle. I do think the whole Fire Blogger thing is probably the most pointless pursuit on earth. It's always good to dedicate yourself to taking down a show that has roughly 500 dedicated viewers and nobody else really bothers to watch most of the time. It'd be a bit like creating an entire blog about how M&M's need to stop making blue ones. Nobody really gives a shit. I don't meant to crap on the show or anything, but The Middle seems like the kind of show that is watched mostly by middle aged women, and the Fire Blogger seems like the type where all 10 of his fans are primarily douchebag hipster 18-22-year-olds. I mean, his target audience who might listen to him about how this show needs to be off the air and the people who actually watch the show, who would need to be swayed to his point of view, are completely different demographics.

But that's beside the point. The show itself is pretty average. I've never really found it tremendously funny, but not particularly bad either. A lot of people say it ripped off Malcom In The Middle, which I don't really see, but probably wouldn't care if it did. It's just personal taste, but this show is better than Malcolm, since the characters are a lot more sympathetic, or more accurately, at all sympathetic. Basically, this show is Malcolm In The Middle without having an entire cast of Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist and Darkness Induced Audience Apathy.

Now, once again, don't get me wrong. I find the show really corny at times, it honestly looks a bit like it was written by a Sunday school teacher at points, but it's not so bad. Certainly not bad enough for a review blogger to try (futilely) to take off the air. No, seriously, if anybody wanted to do it, it should have been anybody else, cause anybody could just watch an episode and groan uselessly. I could do that. A monkey could do that.

Yeah, that's more a review for the Fire Blogger, so sue me. The show itself, 5/10.

Weird that he chose The Middle over Modern Family. Although both have been praised, Modern Family really did receive much more media attention. I\'m honestly surprised that The Middle has done well enough to not be cancelled, and that\'s not a jab at quality either,
