haven’t seen The Middle but Raising Hope is FUCKING HILARIOUS
“Raising Hope” and “The Middle”: Two Sneakily Good Sitcoms
With so many worthy comedies out there, it would be easy to miss out on a pair of quietly excellent network shows: “Raising Hope” and “The Middle.” Neither is new and neither has a Zoe Deschanellish star to land them on the cover of a magazine, but both series are funny, original, and stealthily ambitious. And to be terrifically snotty, each of these family sitcoms is superior to that buzz-hog “Modern Family,” an upscale mockumentary that began with promise, but has sadly descended into cartoon and cornball.
