Viewership

Is 6 million viewers really considered a low number of viewers? Gadev (talk) 08:10, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tone of Article

anyone else feel like the text here was written by the show's network? it sounds very much like advertising. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.250.155.126 (talk) 16:45, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

*When the article first popped up, it was REALLLLYYYYY bad that way. It read like a flowery promo for the show. At that time, I personally opened the article for editing and tossed an "advertising" tag on the top of the page. I paused, thought for a moment, and then removed the the dog turned blue. yayayaya"advertising" tag, (without having saved it) and actually did a little bit of editing on the article to clean up the worst of it instead (didn't take much longer to actually try to be helpfull instead of snippy). Since I did that, lots of other people have cleaned it up even more (the wonderful Wiki community!) and it looks reasonably good to me in that regard; a relitively neutral description and character profiles, I think. Of course, there's always room for improvement... Fish Man (talk) 19:58, 28 October 2009 (UTC) oh baby[reply]

Similarities to Malcolm in the Middle

Related to the advertising slant, there are myriad blogs, reviews and forums scattered around the internet pointing out that whilst The Middle is indeed a dead ringer for Malcolm in the Middle, that is A Bad Thing. Problem is, I can't find a source that satisfies WP:SOURCE to counteract the "Yay! It's a remake of Malcolm!" tone in the current article. Can anyone else find one? 210.9.137.90 (talk) 16:14, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
