THE MIDDLE
ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET
Last week, The Middle presented a one-hour season premiere that featured a classic set piece: The entire Heck family piling into the family car to experience their first trip to a drive-in movie. This week’s plot also is driven, so to speak, by an automotive motif: This time, though, it has Frankie losing her job at the car dealership. That doesn’t sound very funny – but The Middle will find the humor in it, no question.
