Life’s Still Unfair changed their ages?
So I just finished a full rewatch of the show as lead in for Life’s Still Unfair, and having started LSU I’m a little confused about their ages. When the original show ended, Reese was 19, Malcolm was 18, and Francis was 21/22 - this would make them 39, 38, and 41ish, respectively; however, in Life’s Still Unfair, they say they’re celebrating their 39th anniversary and Francis says he’s 39. This raised another question, which is: have we ever learned Hal and Lois’s ages? Jane Kaczmerak and Bryan Cranston were both 45 when the show originally premiered, and Francis is supposed to be 16 (which seems, to me at least, inconsistent with the rest of the show that they had him at 29 vs say 23/24) and assuming they did have him at 29, their 39th anniversary in 2026 would make them younger than their real ages because of this random 3 year shift. Just seems like a weird change to make because this makes Francis 13 in season one, which makes no sense whatsoever. Is there something here that I’m missing?
