Review: THE MIDDLE season 2, episode 6 “Halloween”

It’s Halloween and the Hecks try to enjoy the night separately. Frankie (Patricia Heaton) is excited they’ve been invited to the neighborhood party but Mike (Neil Flynn) doesn’t want to dress up. Axl (Charlie McDermott) and his friends attempt to go to a haunted house party; Brick (Atticus Shaffer) goes trick-or-treating while Sue (Eden Sher) goes to a Halloween church event instead of her school dance.

Frankie’s excitement is counterbalanced by the unenthusiastic Mike. His reluctance to do anything fun really frustrates Frankie. They’ve been together for 17 years and she still wants to have fun with him, but you get the feeling the two of them don’t get to spend much time alone. Until she points that out, Mike is reluctant to let himself go. His style of dancing consists of not moving from one spot. It’s awkward and funny especially with Frankie dancing around him.
