What did Francis do do terribly in the past to the point where every time Lois hears his damn name she tweaks tf out.

and i would tweak out too because he is FRANCIS and i would freak out too if i was married to hal,

I don't even remember which season he was supposedly killed off. Was it addressed in the later seasons, when Lois went to Canada?

Also, WHY? was it when Robert Loggia died IRL? I cant imagine him turning down that recurring role as an actor. He was a great character & acting with the iconic Cloris Leachman and this stellar cast had to be a good time on and off screen as well.

Which character is worse in your opinion and why? This idea popped into my head since I am a fan of both shows and noticed both of these characters are under the dumb bully trope. I think Reese has a soft side, especially in later seasons but the only thing soft about Terrence is watching soap operas.

Lois is a strong soldier because if

1. I had five kids, and three out of the five were like Francis, Malcolm, and Reese

2. I Had a pushover crybaby for a husband like Hal

3. I Was overworked and underpaid at a pharmacy job

4. I Was constantly in debt

5. My husband was blowing off every Friday of the work week

6. My mother was a cold bitch like Ida

My crash-outs and meltdowns would be ten times worse
