“Middle Child Masterpiece Theater” Honors New Inductees

          Only the crème de la crème of TV and motion picture Middle Child characters are deemed worthy enough to be featured in Middle Child Masterpiece Theater. Now, this illustrious and exclusive collection continues to grow with two new honorees. (Oh, who am I kidding? They’re all welcomed here!) 
 
BARRY GOLDBERG
(played by Troy Gentile)
          He’s the younger brother of Erica, the older brother of Adam, and the Middle Child star of ABC’s hit comedy “The Goldbergs.” According to his character bio, Barry “constantly thinks his family is ganging up on him and he's getting the short end of the stick. And he usually is.” He also believes “he lives in a vast world of unfairness.” The perfect profile for a classic TV Middle Child. 

 
RAMONA QUIMBY
(Played by Joey King)
          Immortalized in the popular children’s book series by Beverly Cleary, Ramona is the best friend and often annoying little sister of Beatrice (a.k.a. Beezuz) Quimby. She hates being a younger sister, and at the end of Ramona Forever she becomes an older sister to Roberta Day Quimby, which makes Ramona a you know what. Ramona was brought to life on the small screen in a short-lived 1988 Canadian television series. She reappeared on the big screen in the 2010 release Ramona & Beezuz, (alongside Selena Gomez as Beezus), which received generally positive reviews.

 
Congratulations to our newest inductees!
