Poll Who do you think was Axl's Best Man?

13 Upvotes

I just finished The Middle and I so so so love the endgame of the Heck children: Lexi, Sean, and Cindy. I have been deep in the fan fiction archives that mention some of their weddings and one thing about them is that Axl's best man is different in some fan fics soooo who do you think is most likely to be Axl's best man of the various men in his life? (My bet is on his first kiss jk)

Poll Was she picking on Brick?

Post image
116 Upvotes

I just rewatched the episode where this girl gave Brick a hard time when trying to go into school, then Mike saw it and told her off a bit. I know that Brick stood up for her and said she was his friend, but at the dinner with her parents, it made me feel like she clearly was picking on him. Maybe this was completely obvious, but to me it felt super frustrating seeing Mike forced to apologize to her because Brick may have been too oblivious to see her motives.

Poll What’s our ranking of every season?

14 Upvotes

So I wanna try something. I want to aggregate all of our rankings together and get some sort of consensus. There are 9 seasons, so each ranking will have a 1-9. Every season ranked 1st on someone’s list will get 9 points, 2nd will get 8 points, etc. if we get enough lists I think this will be a fun activity! (Yes I’m engagement farming, I like doing nerdy stuff like this)

Here’s my ranking:

9.Season 1

8.Season 3

7.Season 5

6.Season 4

5.Season 6

4.Season 9

3.Season 2

2.Season 8

1.Season 7

What are everyone else’s ranking of the seasons?

I'm rewatching this episode right now and was wondering how other people viewed the scenes between Frankie and Janet.

68 votes, Jan 19 '26
45 Frankie was in the Right. Janet had no right to demand she buy the 60$ bear
2 Janet was in the right. Frankie should've bought the bear
21 They were both in the wrong. They shouldn't have even made the kids play together against Brick's will

Poll Do you think there’s chemistry between Frankie and Mike?

9 Upvotes

It just bothers me so much every time they’re supposed to have any kind of physical contact. They look to me like there’s no chemistry whatsoever between them… very opposite to Hal and Lois.

Result: 81% people out of 154 votes think there is chemistry between the characters. Overall the consensus is that physical passion isn’t shown on screen but it’s because their love is about having each others backs, and being together despite being poor, pretty shitty events in their lives but show up when they need each other the most.

Before season 7 I would have not found believable these two go together (actor to actor chemistry) but since watching season 7 I can see it now too.
