That's right!

Just say the second letter of the alphabet before "Emmys" and the result will be far more accurate!

Not even close. The Middle is better than both of those shows combined.

Emmy voters are a bunch of elitist snobs. The Middle is 200 times better than good for nothing shows like Modern Family and Blackish.

I never saw According to Jim but I want to forget Family Matters and The Middle is way better than those 2.

hno:

One reason why The Middle is often considered "unsung" is likely because it came around the same time as Modern Family. Also, most sitcoms these days are either about small business owners doing funny things with their business or else young, soon-to-be successful professionals doing things.

Before Roseanne came back on the air, The Middle was really the closet thing to a modern equivalent. Both shows are about a blue collar, middle class family living just above paycheck to paycheck. Maybe Mom (and to a certain extent, Speechless) is the only other contemporary sitcom that features lower-middle class people in a semi-serious fashion.
