"Us Rating: ***1/2 \r\nAir Date: Wednesday 12/7 \r\nThis solid comedy hits its stride with a sweet holiday tale. Mom Frankie (Patricia Heaton) wishes hubby Mike (Neil Flynn) would splurge for a new dishwasher -- to cover up the &amp;quot;dishwasher hole&amp;quot; in time for their Christmas Eve party. Bolstered by the stars&amp;apos; chemistry, that humble plot leads to good, clean fun. The show&amp;apos;s young stars earn laughs, too. Geeky teen Sue (Eden Sher) learns precocious Brick (Atticus Shaffer) has issues with the bible -- specifically the story of Noah&amp;apos;s Ark. &amp;quot;The poop alone&amp;quot; would be problematic, he reasons. (ABC, 8 p.m.)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
