title - What does "The Middle" refer to in the TV show "The Middle"?

The show is set in Indiana, and the title is trying to evoke the idea that this is a fun, "meat and potatoes" family sitcom that represents "middle" America (i.e. it's not New York, it's not California, it's not the South ... just the "Heartland").



Here's a "TV Tropes" link that can really do a better job answering your question than me: Flyover Country



I think there's also a secondary nod to the economic, "middle class" suburban community depicted on the show.
