I love watching The Middle and never have missed an episode. What drew me to watch The Middle was Patricia Heaton, I watched her in Everybody Loves Raymond. I follow The Middle and the cast on social media and get nice responses from my post to them. As in business management myself I know how one person can effect how people look on that business. I have found that Charlie McDermott is a cold hearted, self centered with an attitude from hell person. This has some looking at The Middle differently. The Middle as a family show, you would expect that people related to it to be descent, friendly and thankful for The Middle fans. Mr. McDermott is not! Mr. McDermott should be removed from the cast of The Middle, just like a bad apple being removed from a bushel basket. I have experienced this type of bad person Mr. McDermott is personally. His real life attitude has thrown a dark shadow over The Middle. 35 years in my business I hope you look at this situation. I know you can't control your cast's personal life but it would be good to make a suggestion. There is a lot of negativity out here about Mr. McDermott and him being on the cast of the show. Peace!
