It is because you are.

[@deannad9105]

And he watched it with his wife, because he didn't remember it, because he has had a stroke. That definitely will make everyone feel old.

She was so intimidating to me as a kid but rewatching, yeah she was fantastic

[@bristolmclean8772]

I’d say it’s a combo of both. They were perfect together as TV parents

[@jayoharejee]

Yeah I was sitting here listening this trying remember that show she was more rememberable than Hal I think it’s funny how she had him whipped but he was really good too

[@HassansArchive]

She is the backbone of the entire show in my opinion. Everything in the show must go through her, she is the head of the family. she is also a perfect villain for the boys and hero for us older people watching. We emphasize with the fact that she has to deal with dysfunctional children in a dysfunctional family. Frankly, season 1-2 Louis gives me a boner. Very well done Jane 🥳!

Yeah , Frankie and Hal made that show special. And Lois too. My favorite episode was when Hal was fighting the bee with his car lmao. It looked like a high speed action scene when in reality, it was Hal swerving in the middle of traffic to kill a bee

[@edenleeman5004]

[@ryanstauffer119]

Bryan was great as Hal. They’ve said because of how hilarious he was, they had to keep cutting the cameras because the crew kept laughing. He’s a comedian genius.

[@TheSean89420]

The actors on this show really did top notch work however i do fully agree Bryan Cranston did absolutely a phenominal job of bringing out every scene with the other cast. Its not a big stretch to say that randy marsh from south park is a imitation of the role he dud

He’s so humble. Bryan one of the greatest actors ever, but every single person cast made that show.

This show is simply the greatest.
