PATRICIA HEATON, ATTICUS SHAFFER, WILLIAM FRANCO VASQUEZ, NICK JONAS JR. THE MIDDLE - "Thanksgiving IV" - Frankie tries to do a good deed for Thanksgiving by inviting a couple of Marines to celebrate the holiday with her family. But with Frankie's parents, Pat and Tag (Marsha Mason and Jerry Van Dyke), constantly bickering, the good deed may not go unpunished. Meanwhile, while Axl grapples with his growing feelings for tutor Cassidy, he receives the good news that his foot is healed and he can play in the big game; Sue tries to track down the thief who has stolen the chicken head off of her school mascot uniform; and Brick becomes mesmerized by a book on the making of the film "Love Story," on "The Middle," WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
