ABC’s THE MIDDLE, Wednesdays at 8 PM, is now in its sixth season. The half-hour comedy stars Patricia Heaton as Frankie Heck and Neil Flynn as her husband Mike, parents of Axl (Charlie McDermott), Sue (Eden Sher) and brainy Brick (Atticus Shaffer), all living the middle-class live in Orson, Indiana. The Hecks are quirky in the way that all families are quirky, often quarrelsome and yet ultimately loving. THE MIDDLE and its ABC comedy stable mate MODERN FAMILY launched at the same time. Even though the latter gets far more press, the ratings for the two shows are very similar. […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Reiley McClendon, Rick Ravanello, Douglas Tait, Joe Regan, Sven Ruygrok Writers: Blake Clifton & Jabbar Raisani Director: Jabbar Raisani Distributor: IFC Midnight Release Date: January 30, 2015 It’s hard to tell whether ALIEN OUTPOST is intended as a metaphor for how terrorist cells convert and/or conscript ordinary civilians to attack U.S. military outposts and how bad things can get when an installation is considered low-priority by the brass, or whether the filmmakers were consciously going for some traditional low-budget sci-fi movie concepts. For that matter, it’s hard to tell a lot of things about ALIEN OUTPOST, […]Read On »

Marc Guggenheim, an executive producer/show runner on the CW’s ARROW, Wednesdays at 9 PM, and its spin-off THE FLASH, Tuesdays at 8 PM, is very happy.

Comics-derived series for the Television Critics Association.
