I hate what they are doing with Sue and Sean


Maybe because it seems to be the formula for every sitcom, but these near misses are getting annoying and kind of cringe worthy. Maybe because it's typical Sue, that she can't just have a normal easy going meet up/date/relationship. But I really hope this resolves quickly, even though her liking Sean seemed to have come out of nowhere. It would be hilarious though to have his Mom as her Mother in law.

I'd like to see them end up together. He's always seemed to have been into her but she's been clueless. It's the Classic boy next door crush but it's on his side this time.

I was hoping Darrin would be the one she ended up with him. Sean seems alot like Axel and flakey. I think those two would be perfect together as he seems to really love Sue.

Ugh I hate Darrin.

Darrin is ok just not for Sue.

The Middle is a comedy about a family. It's not a "romcom." Sheesh.

The writers are desperate. Sue used to be clueless and innocent, but in the last few seasons, men have bounced into her life with alarming rapidity. I thought nobody even knew she was alive! Now, it seems every time she turns around, there's another available guy waiting for her. In the last two seasons alone, she's gone through three boyfriends and is on her fourth. Come on.

reply

Doesn't the average American female go through like 3-4 boyfriends and like multiple divorces? I think the show is trying to bring that up.

Not sure I like how men seem to be at her feet so fast when her character was known for never being noticed. Her looks and personality haven't changed much, so I'm surprised that people all of sudden notice her. But I want her character to win at the end.

Was watching reruns and didn't realize how much Sue crushed on Sean way back when. But, yeah, it's time to resolve this thing. I assume they're waiting for the end of season climax.

I'll cringe so hard if it's a cliff hanger situation.

Me too. I love your user name by the way.
