Behind the Scenes of "The Middle" Season 9 Part 3 (Filming at Warner Bros Ranch)

[@shelbiebertolasi7141]

I absolutely loved this show. I never understood why more people didn't watch this. I really dud represent a middle class family in the Midwest. Living in the Midwest I truly connected with it. I would love a reboot

[@lennybuttz2162]

It was on for 9 seasons, obviously a lot of people watched it or it wouldn't have lasted so long.

[@danielsiminski5878]

I STILL watch The Middle! Just a feel good show! Love your videos!

[@timjuenke1662]

This was one of the best sitcoms ever. I think they should reboot this show because there is just no TV like this anymore which is a sad thing to say. miss all of you.

[@Karkar124]

I feel like it would be like 5-10 more years until they would do a reboot. It took almost 30 years for a Full house reboot, about 15 years for That ‘90s show, then about 10 years for Boy Meets World. It’s only been like 5 years since the middle had aired the final episode, so I see this being very unrealistic. At least for the next couple years. Who knows tho🤷🏼‍♀️ maybe they’ll just say screw it and do it! That’s if all the cast even wants to do it. The Olson sisters weren’t even in Fuller House because they had other roles they wanted to do.

[@timjuenke1662]

I realize it is too soon for a reboot but wouldn't it be great. It would be fun to see Sue and Axel with their own children and brick a famous Wealthy author. Mike and Frankie would be hilarious grandparents.

[@devopslifestylebr]

Agreed, Im watching for the 3thd time hahaha

[@bibleblvr]

@@devopslifestylebr Me too. Half way through 3rd time and still say. "hmm, I don't remember this episode".

[@mindsetwithsally4556]

I've actually lost count of how many times I've watched from beginning to end ❤

[@lauriel.86]

I love all this tv history, especially learning how many shows I grew up watching were filmed right there where The Middle was filmed. Growing Pains is one of my all time faves. My favorite episode of The Middle was “Taking Back the House” - as a parent I get it!! 😂😂

[@BlueMoo1023]

My favorite epsiode with you as Brick - is the one just before Sue goes to college she takes Brick to Plaent Nowhere-con, and he gets vunerable with her talking about it was the best day and how he will miss her. Sue is such an emotional ray of sunshine and a lot of people don't give her the same energy back and are over looked in the Heck house some time, it was endearing. Also, the second plot, the way you as Brick licks the breakfast frozen pancake and makes a face & riding on Niel/Mike's lap on the lawnmower.. oh and bringing the leaves home!

[@susanbeth74]

This was an excellent episode! My favorite Brick episode was when Axl was trying to get rid of Brick's tics. He was in a blanket burrito at the kitchen table. It was so funny!

[@bruinsgirl79]

Just started season nine of my dvd collection. For the millionth time! Love this show more than I can express ❤

[@barbarabruce7648]

Hi Atticus, from Sydney Australia 🌏🦘 Love the Middle because it was so relatable. I am Frankie and my kids are a blend of Axel/Sue and Sue/Brick. My husband is Mike. We have all of the dvds and our whole family watches , laughs and relates. Especially me with Taking back the house! I really think Axl should have married Weird Ashley though!

[@lisabeamer5349]

Same! I think he should have married her too

[@barbarabruce7648]

@@lisabeamer5349 Yes, Lexi should have dropped Axl when he went to Denver and Weird Ashley should have been waiting, consoled and married him. The writers got it wrong. But we know the truth 😁

@@AtticusShafferVlog Oh the infamous bookmark story. The way you said "growl" had me dead but I would say it was one of the best Axl/Brick scenes ever

[@db_cooks]

Atticus, I watched The Middle as an adult, but what makes it so special for me is that my elderly mother also really liked this show and it was something we would talk about every time I would call her. She has since passed away (before the show ended) and I would give anything just to talk with her again! She would’ve loved to have seen how the series ended.

[@chelseaK11]

This is sweet. My son and I starting watching it when he was eight. He is now 18 and we still watch The Middle ❤

Thank you so much for doing these. This show took up my 20’s years. My favorite episodes were the Orlando/Disney episodes. It’s so sad that the sets and sound stages are gone. 😞. Anyways had some good pizza while watching this. “You’ll love our pizza 🎶 “!!

[@kimsinclair9100]

This is so interesting to me. I would have loved to be able to work around these sets in some capacity. BTW, love the editing! She’s very good and entertaining. I’d love to see your jail scene too. I have a 23 year old daughter who is just that, she’s walks to the beat of her own drum and she’s a super happy person being herself. I know she’d love to see that scene. Can’t wait for the continuing episodes.

[@joeblow812]

Being a lifelong Hoosier I’ve always loved “The Middle.” Thanks for another great video ❤

[@Harrypotterfan_shorts]

Me and my mom love The Middle. Every day after dinner thats our routine: three or four episodes to devour and enjoy! You, Eden, Charlie, Patricia and Neil always put a smile on my family's faces. 😊 As an avid reader myself, I love watching Brick, and his joy for books and reading. (I even belive that in one episode he may have had a Percy Jackson book!) The Middle is just such a comfort show for me. I can't tell you how many times we have binged watched The Middle. I know my mom is probably the biggest Middle fan besides my aunt and myself that I know. She always says that our family would have had way more material to continue The Middle 💖. To be honest with you, for my 9th birthday my aunt bought me all 9 seasons of The Middle on DVDs. That was probably the best gift I got that year! : ) These videos are so entertaining and fun to watch. Thank you for being awsome Atticus! 😎🫶🏼✨ - Hope, an 11 year old Middle fan from Maryland 🦀🇺🇸🐎

Dear Atticus, once again it is such a pleasure to see you again! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures on the show with us all who are die hard fans, and always will be......Since 2009, I have been mesmerized by the show, it's amazing cast, amazing scripts, but mostly for the extreme love and enjoyment you and the cast bring in to my life each and every day. I run 5 miles a day, 6 days a week at the gym, and The Middle is my go to series to watch, which makes my hour go by so quickly that I almost don't want to stop and go another 5 miles just so I can squeeze in another episode! Your heartwarming stories only add to my devotion to the show, to you, and to all of the cast members that have impacted my life for over 15 years and counting! May God Bless you and may you know you and The Middle have made a significant change in my life as far as how I view my family, friends and neighbors.....I may not be a Heck, however, I think I was born to be!

Kudos again to your mom for capturing key moments - and of course your brilliant editor. Truly appreciated! Looking forward to more!

Atticus, thank you for putting all this work into these videos. They’re fascinating! Regarding having your name on your parking space bumper, I know exactly the feeling you’re talking about. I worked for the same bank for 43 years, from the day after I graduated from college in May 1978 until I retired in September 2021. I started as a teller and left as a Vice President. I remember that the day after I was promoted to VP in 1987, I was given my own parking space with my name on the concrete bumper, and I thought, “Well, this must mean they’re going to keep me around,” so that night I went out and bought a new Cadillac🤣.

I found out you came to meet him and he got a trip to The Middle set and I was just so impressed that his favorite actor did that for such a special little boy that I decided to check out the show and I was hooked. That show still holds my no. 1 fav series and I will use my WISH if I ever encounter a genie for a spin off or reboot.
