The series, set in the fictional town of Orson, Indiana, follows a lower-middle-class family living and facing the day-to-day struggles of home life, work, and raising children.Starring Patricia Heaton and Neil Flynn, the show was created by former Roseanne and Murphy Brown writers Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline, and produced by Warner Bros. Television and Blackie and Blondie Productions. It was praised by television critics and earned numerous award nominations, including a nomination for a Primetime Emmy Award in 2012.
Premise
The series features Frances "Frankie" Heck (Patricia Heaton), a middle-class, middle-aged, Midwestern woman and her husband Mike (Neil Flynn), who reside in the small fictional town of Orson, Indiana, based on the real town of Jasper, Indiana. They are the parents of three children, Axl (Charlie McDermott), Sue (Eden Sher), and Brick (Atticus Shaffer).
The series is narrated by Frankie, initially an under-performing salesperson at a used-car dealership and later a dental assistant. Her stoic husband Mike manages a local quarry and serves as a stabilizing influence in the family, though Frankie complains about his lack of affection at times. The children are quite different from one another: oldest son Axl, a stereotypical jock, is outgoing and popular at school but is quite rude and self-centered; daughter Sue is an enthusiastic and perky young girl but is chronically unsuccessful and awkward; and youngest son Brick is an intelligent, compulsive reader with odd behavioral traits. Other characters include Frankie's co-worker Bob (main character in the first two seasons), Frankie's elderly Aunt Edie, Sue's first boyfriend Brad, Mike's brother Rusty, and Axl's friends Sean and Darrin, who both had a relationship with Sue.
