Critic's Corner Wednesday: Brick holds up 'The Middle'

By Robert Bianco, USA TODAY

?Most viewers will be watching Fox's revitalized American Idol(tonight, 8 ET/PT), but save a spot on your DVR for TV's best traditional family comedy, The Middle (ABC, 8 ET/PT).

Tonight, while the rest of the family is busy with Frankie's spring cleaning project, Brick (the adorable Atticus Shaffer) is out on his own ? offering advice for a price from a neighborhood information stand. If you know Brick, you know that makes perfect sense.

?A Middle repeat (8:30 ET/PT) leads you into TV's best comedy, period: Modern Family (ABC, 9 ET/PT).

Nathan Lane returns as Pepper in an episode that finds Mitchell, Cameron, Pepper and a symphony-refugee Jay sharing a "boys' night out," while Haley babysits Lily. (Yikes!) Philip Baker Hall also guests as a neighbor who befriends Luke.

?History explores our earthly inner-being on a Journey to the Earth's Core (9 ET/PT).
