About The Middle
Frankie and her husband Mike have lived their whole lives in Orson, a fictitious small town in Indiana. Mike is a manager at a quarry and has a sarcastic streak and a tendency toward brutal honesty. Frankie is so far the least successful salesperson at the local car dealership. She may not be a high-powered career woman, but when it comes to her family, she goes to just about any length to hold things together. With kids like hers, she often needs to do so. Axl, her rebellious teenage son, was conceived with Guns N' Roses playing a significant role; Sue, her awkward teenage daughter, struggles to get into something—anything—she tries out for, yet remains encouraged; and her incredibly smart but lonely seven-year-old son, Brick.
