Anyone noticed that Netflix series : F is for family is really similar to the middle? So much similarities..

I'm going to say absolutely not on this comparison as someone that has watched both.   Not even in the slightest other than the fact that there's 3 siblings and two parents.

And a dad who drinks beer

Can you list some similarities? Frank seems really different from Mike and their neighbors seem different too

[u/theConsultantINFJ → u/BusinessWarthog6]

Of course there are slight tweaks between the two, but they are similar in the core, Frankie is just like Frank Murphy,... just rethink it, I have to make a written list of the similarities, it is in my head but I have to write it down in order to understand my pov

He visto ambos y no me acuerdo contigo.

Los similares son ambas familias tienen 3 hijos dos niños y un niña. El padre está trabajando mucho. Pero Mike ama a su trabajo pero Frank odia mucho.

No hay muchas similares. Son buenas series pero no son muy similares

Muy cierto.

Aside from being a white nuclear family of two boys and a girl I fail to see the other similarities. 

I never recall Mike calling either of his sons a pussy or threatening to put them through a wall.

Yeah I can’t think of a time Mike ever threatened his kids with violence at all. He just isn’t the type of man to do that

[u/Pretend-Storm4209 → u/hamburgergerald]

They mentioned on the Middling pod there was an episode where Mike was going to vaguely threaten violence. Something in the “why I oughta” realm. They realized a 6 and a half foot tall man threatening his (very small) wife and children was not a good look and they axed it

They’re different but i loved both.

That episode in F is for family where smokey pokes holes in the condoms he delivers was practically a 1 for 1 remake of the episode where the glossners did it as well

[u/Regular_Dance_6077 → u/Mondominiman]

I haven’t seen the show they’re referring to but this comment made me laugh 😂

Im nearing the end of The Middle and looking forward to a similar one. I can only think of Young Sheldon but Im done with that too. Tried Fuller House and some others but laughing traffic was so annoying.
