The Middle is moving back to 8:30 in April for the first time since season 1. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ABC gives it no respect. Roseanne, which should have stayed dead, is hanging around like a vulture waiting to take The Middle's place. They can't even wait for The Middle to end to have Roseanne take its anchor slot. How insulting!

I mean, it makes sense. The Roseanne revival is big news and will certainly bring in big ratings. The Middle is on its way out so there's nothing surprising about the move.

What's The Middle's current time?

8:00. The Middle has been an 8PM anchor on Wednesdays and Tuesdays since the start of season 2. It has not aired in the lesser time of 8:30 since season 1 in 2009-2010.

It is still a big insult to move The Middle from its longtime anchor slot leading off an hour. I bet ABC wouldn't try that nonsense with The Goldbergs and Modern Family whenever they will be in their final seasons.

I guess ABC Network just had to give the Roseanne revival season an X:00 PM timeslot, huh? I guess it's a matter of not having any other scheduling options. They could have bumped Black-Ish to 9:30 and have The Mayor's season end early.

Is it possible that the Roseanne revival will take a week off in case The Middle's series finale will be an hour long? I mean, there are only 10 Tuesdays from March 27 until the end of May.

I guess they think fans will find it. I'm not surprised.

Not sure if I will watch Roseanne -- but definitely will continue with The Middle -- regardless of the time -- really enjoy Patricia Heaton and the rest of the cast -- they will be missed.
