Latest episode clacks for this show:

The Middle – Or he will freak out

It might actually have been a strategic move to make Axl as dumb as he is. As Brick said he’ll be going off to college in one to three years … that buys the show time to keep the family together for a more extended period of time even if Axl is already a junior! Nice!

Ratings Clack – Community returns to season highs

There was good news for ‘Community’ fans last week, as the show hit season highs in the ratings. And there was bad news for ‘Luck’ fans, as the previously renewed second season was abruptly canceled. HBO giveth, and HBO taketh away.

The Middle – Carl Fredricksen’s house lands in Orson

I know that Axl hitting Sue in the head with a baseball was supposed to be a moment when a number of plots converged, but I totally didn’t understand why the story went there. The aftermath just made Sue seem even more naive (if that’s possible!)

Ratings Clack – Academy Awards and NASCAR shake things up

The Middle – Even Sue’s not that stupid … is she?

If it weren’t so sad it’d be funny: Frankie’s suggestion to Brick that he eat extra ketchup with his french fries so he’d get his vegetables was a reminder that tomato sauce on pizza is still considered a vegetable in public schools. I never would have pegged Frankie as a supporter.

Ratings Clack – American Idol in third place?

The big news on the networks was ‘American Idol’ falling to third place in viewers and the demo. Over on cable, the premiere of ‘Eastbound & Down’ could do nothing to stop the freight train that is AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’.
