They don’t drive perfect cars, live in a perfectly scrubbed and updated house or wear the most fashionable clothes.
Unlike with most family sitcoms, The Middle doesn’t make any effort to hide the dysfunction of the Heck family.
Nope, the Heck’s drive cars that saw their heyday almost two decades ago, live in a chaotically messy home and wear clothes that could easily be from some time in the ’80s.
It can be a real pleasure to watch a family who’s so far from having it all together.
