The Middle

ABC

ABC's comedy series uses a mother's point of view to shed light on the lives of a middle-class family in the Midwest. The show focuses on the Heck family life in an Indiana suburb and is narrated by Frankie, a dedicated—though frazzled—mother who works at a local car dealership and volunteers for school functions. Father Mike works at a quarry and takes a more laid back approach to most things, but backs up Frankie with force when the need arises. Oldest child Axl, a snarky, surly, high schooler, spends much of his time napping and roams around the home shirtless. Geeky, gangly, braces-wearing Sue is trying to navigate her way through junior high, join the cool crowd, and avoid Axl's endless onslaught of taunts, none of which she does with much success. Youngest child Brick is in elementary school and is the academic in the family, but suffers from near-crippling social anxieties and possesses an odd habit of repeating words he just said back to himself in a loud whisper. Starring Patricia Heaton and Neil Flynn, the Warner Bros. television pilot was written by Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline, who also serve as executive producers.moreless

He had fame, power, and wealth beyond your wildest dreams. Before they hung him from the gallows, these were the final words he said: "My fortune is yours for the taking, but you have to find it first. I left everything I own in One Piece." Ever since, pirates from all over the World set sail for the Grand Line, searching for One Piece, the treasure that would make their dreams come true. Ahhahhhahhhhhhhhhh "The World, What a glorius place. Seek freedom and it will lie stretched out before your eyes. If the endless dream guides your restless spirit,Seize it! Raise your flag and stand tall!" Yea,yea,yea,yea,yeaaaaaa I think back to the time when my search first began, I left behind those shores of sand, For the endless, everlasting world out there. I know that with this burning passion driving me, Someday, somewhere, I'll finally see, The light that I searched for everywhere. When the summer sun shining, Shake the sails of my heart I know, "flow ways, love blue sea," Brand new world that has been hiding, Has opened up it's doors for me to go, "flow ways,love blue sky," Swaying in the troubled waves, Of despair I can be saved, The horizon on the other side is Yea,yea,yea,yea, Is one I am for, And though I travel far from where my search began, Over seas of green, and shores of sand, Through the endless everlasting world out there. I know that with this burning passion driving me, Someday, somewhere, I'll finally see the light that I have searched for everywhere.moreless
