Middle-aged, middle class, and living in the middle of the country in Orson, Indiana, Frankie Heck (Heaton) is a harried wife and mother of three who uses her wry wit and sense of humor to get her family through each day intact. Frankie works as a dental assistant, and her unflappable husband Mike is a manager at the local quarry and her sardonic partner in the daily grind that is raising their average &#8211; yes, most definitely average &#8211; family. Between juggling shifts and picking up fast food to be eaten in front of the TV, Frankie and Mike raise their kids &#8211; popular slacker Axl; optimistic, awkward Sue; odd, eccentric Brick &#8211; with love, humor, and solid Midwestern pragmatism. Year after year, their struggles continue, but through all the madness shines a loving family &#8211; and together, the Hecks put The Middle on the map.<\/p><div id=\"morty-1635919722\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Debuting in 2009, the series won the esteemed HUMANITAS Prize in 2016 and was also nominated for multiple Critics Choice Awards throughout its run.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by Blackie and Blondie Productions in association with Warner Bros.
