About this item
Work. Kids. Bills. Comedy. It's how the middle half lives. The Heck family returns for Season Three, bringing with them further episodes of offbeat fun - with one foot in reality and the other on a greasy wrapper from Burgerworld. Two-time Emmy winner Patricia Heaton and Neil Flynn star as Frankie and Mike Heck, frazzled parents trying to stretch their patience and paychecks around three brilliantly true-to-life kids: slacker teen Axl (Charlie McDermott) , the over-but-somehow-always-under-achieving Sue (Eden Sher) , and the bookish Brick (Atticus Shaffer) , perhaps the only kid to ever have his birthday party at the public library. This year, Sue's entering high school and will attempt to not only navigate the raging waters of school life, but also co-exist with Axl, who is not too thrilled with his little sister being at the same school. With high-profile guest stars like Ray Romano, Glee's Chord Oversteet and more, THE MIDDLE is exactly where you want to be.

About the Author
Patricia Heaton is an Emmy-winning actress whose career has spanned television, theater, feature films and publishing. She most recently starred in the CBS comedy, "Carol's Second Act," starring as Carol, a mom who after raising her two children and retiring from teaching, embarks on a unique second act: pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor. Heaton's next project is a new book for Simon & Schuster, Your Second Act. When Heaton's children left the nest, she discovered she had the time to pursue passions that were previously placed on hold, both personally and professionally. She now finds her greatest fulfillment in using her influence as a Celebrity Ambassador for World Vision, a non-governmental charitable organization that provides humanitarian aid throughout the world. Through her own experience, Heaton became curious about other people's stories of second-act transitions. In the book, she shares wisdom from her own personal journey as well as insight from stories of numerous people across the country. The book is filled with light-hearted anecdotes and pragmatic steps to help readers discover their own path. She recently starred in ABC's critically acclaimed comedy, The Middle, as Frankie Heck, a mom trying to find balance between her family and career in the mid-west. The show ran from 2009 to 2018. She is, perhaps, best known for her role as Debra Barone on the classic series Everybody Loves Raymond. She won two Emmy® Awards for the role and was nominated 7 times. In addition to her Emmy® wins, Heaton is also the recipient of the Best Comedy Actress award from the Viewers for Quality Television, a SAG award and three SAG nominations in the Best Actress category for her role on Raymond. Heaton launched her homewares line, Patricia Heaton Home with Walmart. Born out of her love for spending quality time with family and friends, the line, which launched with outdoor dining, is a natural progression of her love for entertaining. On the Emmy Award winning Food Network series, Patricia Heaton Parties, she drew inspiration from her family and travels and invited audiences to join her while she served up incredible, party friendly foods for her co-stars, friends and family. She brought that same sensibility to print with her first cookbook, Patricia Heaton's Food for Family & Friends. The book is full of recipes and tips for easy, fun meals, many of which can be made ahead of time. In 2001, Heaton co-founded FourBoys Films, a production company which she runs with her husband David Hunt. The company produced, the Sony feature comedy, Moms' Night Out and TNT's production of The Engagement Ring both of which starred Heaton. She also starred in Hallmark Hall of Fame's, Front of the Class. Her other credits include the TNT/Neil Simon production of The Goodbye Girl, Sony's animated The Star and ABC's The Path to 9/11.
