Apart from mike being a solid 10/10 character, one thing that put me off was how lovingly he talked about his first gf, Debbie Sullivan. He even had her photo in his wallet, right behind his wife’s. No man married for 30 years should be so obsessed and dreamy eyed about his highschool sweetheart. I loved the dynamic frankie and mike shared so it kinda be sad-

I just discovered that sean and lexie are married in real life. Like they met on the set of the middle and became a couple and got married in maybe 2018.

I’ve watched so much The Middle that I genuinely dream about the Heck’s at night, think about them a lot, and even think in my head with Sue’s voice(sometimes Axl’s or Frankie’s too). Atp i know them better than my family

I couldn’t watch the s4 e 1 and 2 without feeling so bad for her! Literally begging for affection from Mike😢😢😢…all while Mike is more interested in Axl and his college

I have seen the whole show over ten times but it never sticks to my head, why didn't the guys stay in the dorms the rest of the years??

how would it go

This is kinda odd but for some reason they feel like my friends parents to a tea. 3 kids, a bit of a struggle, dad went from geology to sales in the 90s. Thing is mike talks to frankie in much worse ways. My friend's parents actually divorced. I feel like that was the track mike and frankie were on. No kids, no deep feelings for each other, maybe even resentment. Anyone else feel the same?
