The final scene in this montage is so heart warming.

The hug and how Hal goes "I understand" get me every time.

[@Kaboomboo]

Well also just before that he said "you only care about yourself." He knows that's not true. He _does_ care about others. Just shows it by breaking the rules. A chaotic good for sure.

[@SwissCheese112]

its like as a father, you know your son is an alright guy. like as a father you know he's going to be alright in life. thats all you can really wish for as a dad, for a son that stands up for those weaker than him and that others admire.

[@F4Y541]

Cranston's (Hal's) performance at 46:16 was just perfect You can hear him choking back tears while he talks, which honestly sells his performance. To be fair, his acting was better here in this comedy show compared to him in Breaking Bad 💪

[@deeya]

Francis had the best character development on the show up to a point. He started out as a delinquent and ended up a rather responsible adult. Each of his experiences, no matter how terrible, was integral towards his growth. At home, his friends and brothers encourage his irresponsibility and stubborn rebellion, and he takes his screaming matches with Lois as victories. But the military academy and Spangler represented the harsh truth of life that it doesn't care how much you whine or scream at it. Alaska and Lavernia represented the unstoppable nature of life, and that fighting against it is futile. Otto and the farm represented the responsibilities of life, and in a place where nobody was stepping up, he had to take charge. Ultimately, the writers didn't know how to progress further and they stumbled him around after abruptly making him mess up with Otto and get fired. They really regressed him back to wanting to blame everything on everybody else, making excuses for himself, even though Ranch Francis was properly matured.

[@ladyfire44]

Francis wasn't supposed to be fired in season 6, but rather stay in New Mexico. He and Otto were supposed to have more adventures around the ranch. The only reason for Francis' firing in Hal's Christmas Gift was because Kenneth Mars who played Otto, was suffering from Pancreatic Cancer in 2006. Thus, he was unable to reprise his role and retired. Which is sad since I liked him in being the cheery, kind, albeit careless boss to Francis' newfound maturity and being a responsible adult.

[@jakerocinante1133]

D33Y4 yes all true, I think they just ran out of ideas for Francis, I wish he had stayed with Auto and Grechin as they were great side characters who added to the comedy. It was after he left the ranch that his character started regressing and not developing anymore. Plus the reason he even left the ranch didn’t add up to his or Auto’s character.

[@jakerocinante1133]

ladyfire44 thanks for that info, I wish Otto could have stayed on as a character because like Stevy and his dad as well as the rest of Hal’s poker buddies they greatly added to the comedy. Francis didn’t have many good stories after Otto had to be written out.

[@Kronoblade99]

Honestly I hated that they screwed over his character at the end. There was no reason to butcher his character development and make him regress to his season 1 counterpart.

[@tozaisusovac6842]

@@Kronoblade99 Fracis at the ranch shows what it means to truly grow up. It's extremely relatable, because that's how life goes for most people who don't pursue higher education. You start out confused, lured by the amazing offer on some job, Alaska here, then you realize just how much jobs can suck, but you learn to accept it somehow, thinking there isn't a way out because you need the small amount of money to survive. Then you finally stop working there because of some unexpected reason and you find yourself somehow different, feeling free but strange, because to adapt to that crappy job you had to adopt a certain mentality to make it through, not maturity but adaptation, and it's the only way you've known how to live for the "longest" time. But you stop working there and you feel confused but somehow liberated and you find a new job, somewhere with actual responsibilities and where you can at least enjoy parts of it. Where you finally think, this might be it. For most people they'll go through at least 5 jobs, some better paid, but hard, and when you quit and work elsewhere, you realize that it was pretty good, but you weren't mature enough to appreciate it. Some jobs are much easier, the pay is ok, but it's so demeaning to be working there, it's beneath you. But you keep trying, and you suffer all on your own, and you try to make it, you try and get more out of life. You balance money, quality of life, stress and so on. Sadly we didn't see Francis grow up even more after the ranch, he was left unfinished. This turned out insanely long, and not really that connected, but if you read through it, you have my respect and thanks. Cheers for Francis, the average person trying to live life

I started this show sometime during the 3rd season or so and I remember finding it so odd a dynamic that Francis was written to be this isolated character from the get go, always separated and doing his own thing. Almost never actually on the same screen as the rest of the family only interacting through phone calls except on really rare occasions. I assumed he was actually sent to Military School during one of the season finales or something but no he was always like this and they somehow make it work so well. Every time he interacts with the rest of the family it has this sense of familiarity that's feels like he truly knew them forever and never left them.

Lots of shows have A and B plot lines to keep the audience from being bored. I think having Francis have independent plot lines, occasionally intersecting with the family's plot lines, were a lot of fun.

21:26 Should I remind you all that This guy took "Going Commando" to a Whole New Level?

11:03-11:09 Just the referee’s look and how the whistle falls out of his mouth......priceless.

It's so funny how your perspective and view changed as you get older. By that I mean these kids look so young compared to when I was first watching it as a teen. Francis always looked older when I was just a teen watching. Now watching at 33 he looks like a kid too lol.

I know this is about Francis,, but when Lois ask "where's your eye?" Kills every time!! 😂😂😂

[@ZephyrHeartz]

“Aunt Helen died?” “We’ll I sure hope so we’re going to her funeral” had me cracking up

[@onibologna8451]

"You wanna know the thing about a head injury? There's a good chance I won't remember any of this." Too true, Frankie :(

[@newstarcadefan]

Even Commandant Spangler knows when he's beat when Lois is on the scene.

[@Heliocentric]

francis should of had his own spin off

[@CantStopWontStop12]

Francis On Top

[@Willams1996]

I love how proud of Francis Hal was at the end for sticking up and helping the others even if he got in trouble for it

41:03 to 43:10 is exactly what it's like living with ADHD. "Okay now I'm studying hard, for real. Concentration mode engaged." *30 seconds later* "Oh wow, the plaster in the wall next to me almost looks like a person's face when the light hits it at the right angle. I wonder if there are more in this room." ... I just realized that as I'm writing this comment, I'm over 40 minutes into a video after getting distracted from another video, after getting distracted from learning how to use blender, which distracted me from when I planned to mow the lawn three hours ago. Jesus Christ this show is the most relatable thing ever.

OHHH Francis can freaking get it. Childhood and current crush tf

[@twmax6525]

The quack marshmallow one, omg. 😂😂😂😂

[@sparklycupcake5445]

Reminiscent of Paul Newman in "Cool Hand Luke."

[@dgxkeyboards4535]

Francis was at it's peak in Seasons 1-2, in military school.

[@dashman8499]

“No broken clavicles” “That’s something inside of me right?”

[@2muchtv]

Francis is a great character.

This was one of the funniest shows ever on TV, and it was ahead of its tim, too, because looking back at it now, as an adult, there are actually a lot of positive themes surrounding minorities, particularly homosexuality and disability.
