In Season Four of The Middle, the Hecks once again bring the laughs from the heartland. Frankie (Emmy winner Patricia Heaton) continues to struggle selling cars at the only dealer left in town, but an unexpected turn of events may force her to re-evaluate her career path. Meanwhile, Mike (Neil Flynn) has made it his mission to ensure sloth-like son Axl gets a football scholarship so he can get into college next year. Sue finds herself not only navigating high school, but also the Indiana roads by finally (she hopes!) getting her driver's license. With all the crazy happenings, it's no wonder youngest son Brick keeps his head down in a book - or whispering to himself as usual! No matter what happens, the family brings the laughs in the ever-unique and quirky comedy.
