I say this thinking about how they were able to write a consistent storyline for a character who was completely separate from the main cast.

Francis was a good character who had interesting storylines that easily flowed into the main family when needed.

Can't think of many sitcoms that were able to do this.

The last episode was still fucked up no matter how you slice it. Lois is a hardworking mother, but that doesn't mean she is a good one. The kids are dysfunctional messes because the parents are too.

The fact that they never shied away from this is part of what makes it an enjoyable show for me.

Yeah, some of the show's fans like to sympathetically champion her as the underrated "good presence" in the household and condone her final "fuck you" towards her own son, but she contributed her share of messed up feats along with the rest of the family. She was just as demented and responsible for many of the household's problems. None of what her kids did could really trump Hal and Lois's culpability in molding them into little monsters in the first place.

It's pretty solid and connected rather than self contained plots every episode.

Francis was part of the main cast and the show was impressive indeed. (maybe ignore the last two seasons)
