THE MIDDLE
ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET
On the first day at his new school, Brick (Atticus Shaffer) avoids the bathroom – afraid of the torments from fellow students that may await there. Reminds me, for some reason, of a joke Bob Dylan told on his satellite Theme Time Radio Hour show, about a kid who was told, on the first day of class, that if he needed to go to the bathroom he should raise his hand. The kid replies: “How will that help?”
