ABC Announces Episode 3.09

ABC has announced the November 16 episode of The Middle. Chris Kattan and Norm Macdonald reprise their roles as Bob and Uncle Rusty, respectively, in the episode.

"The Play" - Frankie is thrilled when she learns that the Orson Community Theater is putting on a production of "The Wizard of Oz," and that kids don't need to audition to be munchkins, as they will be automatically cast - which is a perfect scenario for a hapless Sue. But things quickly go awry when Frankie is cast in a singing role and learns the director is not happy with Sue's performance and may cut her from The Play. Meanwhile, Brick asks his unreliably quirky Uncle Rusty (Norm Macdonald) to attend his school's Special Friends Day - with disastrous results -- on "The Middle," WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
