Sunday February 14th is a big night for Disney Channel. First is the Disney Channel Debut of “Frozen: at 7pm. Then at 9pm there will be preview of a brand new Disney Channel original comedy show called “Stuck in the Middle”. The show centers on and is told from the point of view of Harley Diaz, the middle child of seven. She and her family which also includes mom and dad live in Massachusetts. Harley is a quick-witted teen who uses her inventions to navigate life. Being a middle child she often feels like she doesn’t stand out, especially in such a large family.
I am looking forward to this show because Eva is starting to get into Disney channel shows and some of them are just a little outside her maturity level. She is only a few years younger than Harley, loves creating things and is excited about Science. Eva also loves to laugh and a good quality family comedy is something that we can share as a family. I think that Andrew will also like the show, particularly for the younger twins Lewie and “Beast”. But I bet, from the clip I saw, that Daphne is going to get many funny moments. You can read all about the show in the press release below. But first, check out this mashup of the new show and frozen. Sisters

“Stuck in the Middle” will air in its regular time slot beginning FRIDAY, MARCH 11 (9:00 p.m. EST) on Disney Channel.
Told from Harley’s point of view, the slice of life stories find humor in everyday life as this middle child devises creative ways to cope with – and stand out – in her family’s busy suburban Massachusetts household. The Diaz parents, Suzy and Tom, also have six other kids: Rachel the self-involved eldest; Georgie, a basketball-playing teen; Ethan, Harley’s closest ally; invincible and indestructible twins Lewie and “Beast”; and the strong-willed youngest sibling, Daphne.
