He loves his kids and he loves his wife, but his parenting style is a little unorthodox and he may not always be the most sensitive of life partners for his harried and hurried wife. When he's not working long hours managing the local quarry, he's home helping around the house, even if "helping" is being brutally honest to Frankie. This is their life and it’s not perfect.

Atticus Shaffer BrickBrick is the youngest child of Frankie and Mike Heck. He's known both in the household and out for some, let's say odd behavior—his best friend is his backpack—but that doesn't mean that he can't pull it together when he needs to in order to help his mom make a sale. While he might be the strangest among his older brother Axl and his older sister Sue, we can't help but love the little guy, and we're sure you will too.

Show Synopsis
Patricia Heaton stars as Frankie Heck in this warm and witty single-camera comedy about raising a family and lowering your expectations. Middle-aged, middle class and living in the middle of the country, Frankie is a harried wife and working mother of three who uses her wry wit and sense of humor to try to get her family through each day intact. Frankie’s unflappable husband, Mike, is a manager at the local quarry and her sardonic partner in the daily grind that is raising their average — yes, most definitely average — family. In between trying to get to work on time and picking up fast food dinners eaten in front of the TV, Frankie and Mike raise their kids with love and solid Midwestern practicality. Axl is the oldest, a teenage jock who somehow managed to get into college on a football scholarship. Then there’s Sue, their extraordinarily ordinary and eternally optimistic teen daughter who always seems to fall short at just about everything she tries — although she did make it to college. Finally, there’s Brick, their quirky ninth-grader, who reads obsessively and marches to the beat of his own drummer. But through all the madness shines a loving family — and together, they’re putting THE MIDDLE on the map.
