Is there any? I really do love the tv show The Middle. And I’ve read some of the Tolkien stuff and I’ve seen most of the movies. (Seriously, you can’t fault me for missing the last Hobbit one, Martin Freeman be damned.)

I’m just wondering if there’s anything funny like “The Middle Earth” where Gandalf can’t figure out why people get exasperated. Merriewether says, “well, Gandalf, you do for family!” (I was thinking of the ‘The Office/Hobbit’ thing, I guess.)

Brick would make a great Hobbit…

So perfect! The Planet Nowhere crossover.

Oi. I just had a vision of Axle as Aragorn, Sue as Legolas, and Brick as Gimli.

Axlegorn would whine about orc stench and scream at everybody to be quiet while they’re trying to hide, giving their position away. Legosue would continually show off her elf abilities and whine because nobody noticed her being awesome, and Brickli wouldn’t shut up about Mithril.
