what went right?
The early seasons when Francis was in the military and Dewey was still young and cute.
Hal.
He made the show good.
Could you have done it?

Everything. Literally not one truly bad episode.
>You were seen flattening boxes outside the designated box flattening area.
>Why even have a box flattening area if you don't flatten the boxes there?
Life is a squaaaareee
Reunion special when?
That one TV-14 episode they did.
>>63429227
>The early seasons when Francis was in the military and Dewey was still young and cute.
It's like you're implying Francis going to Alaska and Dewey's ascendance to Autist Savant wasn't some of the series' highlights.
>>63430845
which?
>>63429177
the show is red-pilled on women
-Lois admits that she was fucked by four men at the same time
-Kitty acknowledged her nature and once she understood that she has no longer the means to sustain her hedonism and histrionism, she went back to her husband
-all men are complete betas
-the various gf of malcolm and reese are just waiting to be sluts
-other girls in the show are callous and just want to hurt other girls
-staceys want to make their QB bfs puke in kissing reese
-promotion of BBC in the episode with the Netherlands girls
>>63429560
classic
>>63430845
>>63431644
which is the one with the boobs?
yes no
>>63432743
It's "Poker #2"
The family had solid chemistry all-round, probably better than any other in a sitcom.
>>63432648
>Lois admits that she was fucked by four men at the same time
Say what now?
>>63433442
This, probably. They worked well together.
The best past of the show is thinking how much of a bitch Lois is when you're young, then growing up and thinking how awful the kids are instead.
>>63433523
>>Say what now?
during the episode at the zoo, she was dated by at least 4 men
currently watching the episode with the whore IRL and in the show
>>63434675
depends on your definition of "at the same time".
she was going behind all of their backs, not getting gang banged..

A BEST
>>63435484
I did not notice it was him
>>63432648
Lois also admits that she loves sex and that sex is what keeps any marriage going.
and like any woman, she does not like to be called a whore
>>63436608
>Fat Hal
The only gripe I have with the show is that the ranch owners fired Francis. They basically worshiped him. He could have bankrupted the entire ranch and they'd still love him.
On a completely different note, Lois had a niceass
>>63438544
>On a completely different note, Lois had a niceass
I bet that her boobs are even better

It is odd that all women on the show turned completely trash

>>63438544
>On a completely different note, Lois had a nice ass
No. Hal had more ass than her.
>>63438544
Didn't something happen to the guy who played Otto?
>>63442216
he's dead.
Francis got shafted in season 7, his episodes and appearances pretty much sucked apart from the AA meeting one.
>>63442216
Yeah, he has health issues and had to stop acting for a while, he died a couple of years later. That's also why the Francis/Otto parts were almost non-existent by the end of season 5.
The justification they gave in the show was pretty shit though.
>Stevie's mother used to be a nice homely woman, if not a little too concerned and over protective of her family before talking to Lois
Did Lois break her?
If the series didn't get cancelled what would series 8 be about?
>>63429177
They made Malcolm relatable, despite being a major genius
He's never shown as "the mature smart one" or even "the voice of reason" - he's a kid/teenager and acts like one
It also helps that unlike other shitty fucking shows with "smart" peoplee.g. big bang theoryMalcolm being smart and saying smart stuff is never the entire joke - how people react to what he says is the joke, whether it's Reese becoming frightened when he learns that the Earth is spinning and flying at hundreds of miles per hour around the sun, or Dewey twisting Malcolm's own "smart explanation" against him
There are no jokes that are simply "I'm playing Mario 64 on a bad emulator", the jokes ultimately boil down to the fact that despite being a genius, Malcolm is still human, and a teenager, and he is far from perfect (but that's ok because life is unfair)
>>63442564
I don't think they wanted to make a S8 anyway, Malcolm moved to Harvard so his parts would probably be boring. Malcolm doing shitty jobs, Malcolm being a beta male trying to date girls...basically a re-enactment of the previous seasons except that he's not with his parents to punish him.
Dewey/Jamie and Hal/Lois would be similar to what we had in early seasons with Malcolm, Reese and Dewey.
For Francis, I don't know. They improvised him a good job just for the finale, so he doesn't end as a loser.
Reese as a janny in high school had some fun potential though. They could have shown his tribulations with students, his ex-teachers, the stuff he could do to piss off people (since he has access to all the garbage in school). They could also focus on Craig since they moved together.

Remember. No handicaps.
godtier show
also, fuck Craig Feldspar that motherfucking weeaboo
>You guys are talking to Malcolm about college, but not me?
>Uh, well, Reese...
>Hahaha, got you!
Reese was the best
>>63442703
>They made Malcolm relatable, despite being a major genius
That's what I like. I you show some episodes to someone who has no previous knowledge of the series, they would probably think he's a normal child. In some episodes he's even pretty stupid. That makes him a good character because he has a personality that isn't just "being smart and saying nerdy things" (unlikebig bang theory). He's very good at school but that's never the entire focus of the show, he's growing up, learning how life is.
It also helps that the show offers a good contrast between Malcolm, a smart character, and his family, who is basically of average intellect (and Reese who is a complete idiot). They are normal people, they watch TV, they have jobs, Hal enjoys playing poker and drinking martinis, Lois plays her role as a mother, etc., they have distinct personalities, strengths and weaknesses.
InTBBTanyone who isn'tSheldon and his friendsis just a fucking retard and that's it.
>>63442972
Well Stevie did have access to that crazy fucking mech suit in that one episode.
>>63442972
Stevie, easy
He kicked Reese's ass
>>63442468
I always thought that was weird how all of the sudden he was fired from the ranch. It makes sense. Why didn't they just get the keyboard guy to take over for Otto? Didn't he and Gretchen have a son too?
>>63436608
This was honestly a top five episode
>>63442975
He some how scored with the bosses wife. Probably the only Alpha thing he was permitted in life.
>>63439182
HHHHNNNNNGGGGG
I loved that bomb shelter Hal found made me wish I had one of my own.
>>63443203
She was a slut, everyone banged her in that episode. Maybe she wanted a fat greasy dick.
I really enjoyed this serie during my shitty childhood, thinking about how i can do all the shits they do in my head

>that "birth of Jaime" two parter
>>63443465
I like the episode where they all forget Lois' birthday, Hal's reactions were hilarious. Plus it had a solid ending, with all the family beating people to show that they really care about her. Also,
>Malcolm learns how to roller skate
>Bowling episode
>Traffic Jam (and Francis eating all the ducks)
Hal always has the best moments.

Just watched the episode where Malcolm has to go to hospital due to appendicitis because Comedy Central have been showing them here in the UK.
>WE GOT HIS MAGIC HAT
>>63442410
He did that himself, he was one of the writers so he started focusing on that iirc.
Francis: How did she die?
Dewey: Cats ate her face
Francis: Dewey, I think you're confused. I'm asking about Aunt Helen.
Dewey: Cats ate her face
Francis: Look, would you just put mom or dad on the phone?
Hal: Hello?
Francis: Dad. What happened to Aunt Helen?
Hal: Cats ate her face... Here, Dewey knows more about it than I do.
>>63444400
Just reading this made me chuckle, God that show was brilliant.
>>63438544
>ass

>>63434921
Fucking Captain America in his younger years. It all makes sense now!
>genderswap episode
Reminder.
Never understood why some people attempt to deny the drop in quality from the beginning on season 4 when the baby is introduced. The show lost a lot of its charm when Dewey grew older and became obnoxious. The same can be said for Reese and Francis, they ran out of ideas so had to develop unfunny, uncharacteristic storylines like Reese gets married etc. In show was probably one of the best sitcoms of all times from seasons 1-4, but by the time it ended it was a pale comparison of the early seasons
>>63445133
This. It was literally the warning signs the writers were struggling for new material.
>>63445133
>it was a pale comparison of the early seasons
You're right but it was still better than most sitcoms.
>>63434921
>you now remember he was the main character in Jeepers Creepers 2
>>63429177
The parallel reality bowling episode.
>>63444993
Everybody is set for life. That's pretty surprising that Muniz made more money than the rest of the characters combined (excluding Bryan who made a lot of cash with Breaking Bad). Sure, he was the main character, but still.
Or maybe he got a sweet paycheck for Sharknado.
>>63429177
>In the middle
>He's actually the 2nd youngest kid out of 4
So not in the middle
>>63445454
but then he was 3rd of 5 teebeeahche

Wait, did the show was called different before the 5th kid?
>>63429323
>>63429417
Traffic Jam was the magnum opus of both this series, and one of the best episodes in recent television history.
Debate me.
>>63429227
>The early seasons
It was only the last two seasons that sucked. Everything before that was quality entertainment.
>>63445523
Yes, it was called The Wilkersons, then the writers retconned it to MitM after season 4 and deleted all mention of the family surname
>>63445598
Then my post here >>63445454 is stupid, sorry I mentioned this as a plothole.

What shows are similar to Malcolm in the Middle? I heard the Middle is a pretty good one, but it's terrible 99% of the time.

>>63445872
REDDIT!
>it's a Hal goes berserk and makes a bee cannon robot episode
>>63429177
>what went right?
Looking at this>>63429560, it was a number of things.
The acting of everyone in the series including little Dewey, when kids are usually the weakest cast member.
Secondly, the writing. Such as having a father who is willing to bribe his kids to take to a fall for some unspecified crime. Lots of other shows would have said what Hal did wrong, making it slightly less funny.
Third, little things like the fact they are clearly poor and the physical humor. I can't think of any comedy that would have an adult character pick up and drag off a child actor.
Fourth is something I just noticed. Look at the way the scene is shot. Late at night, dark brown color overall, the light sources, appearance of a tiny enclosed space. It gives it a sense of realism you don't get with other multi-cam comedies where things takes place in bedrooms the size of living-rooms and everything is white, clean, and pristine.
>>63445884
I have just watched this one!
>>63445933
I think Malcolm could have only made it on Fox. The other networks wouldn't accept such a bleak show.
>>63445872
That nerdy Jew girl that liked Malcolm was probably the hottest thing I've ever seen and then she was on LOST and was even hotter.
And I usually prefer them on the younger side.

It was printed on film, unlike many tv shows, the parents were both extremely good actors, Malcolm was likable, each episode had a decent plot.
>it's an Ida episode
>>63446147
Eh, there really isn't anything as good. You might like Grounded for Life but it only has a handful of good episodes. 3rd Rock From the Sun can be pretty funny, but obviously a totally different premise. I'd even recommend a couple episodes of My Name is Earl but most of it is absolute trash.
Malcolm is remembered so fondly because it really was in a league of it's own.

They never hit on her. She just got Abe and all his friends to show up and pretend to be the neighbours.
>>63443203
>YOU WERE CHEATING ON ME WITH CRAIG FELDSPAR?
That was fucking great. Especially when he notices her husband in the room.
>>63445454
In the first seasons he was the middle between Dewey and Reese, because they were the only other two that lived at home. In later seasons he was the middle if you include Jamie and Francis.
I worked this out as a kid. It's not that hard.
>>63429177
That everyone was likeable in their own way and the actors were right for their roles.

Almost as good as when he becomes leader of that body building group and gets a power complex. God damn this show was great.

i think the show had success because the main characters are so fucking cute, specially on the first season
>remember episode that stuff happens
literally every episode, there is no bad one.
also
>remember when Hal becomes overlord of body builders
>>63447183
That was an amazing ending. In a sitcom you'd expect some bullshit cop-out or a dumb emotional bit to wrap it up. But it worked so well with Hal's character that he saved the day by being a terrible employee, and the way it snapped Lois out of her psychotic episode was perfect for her character too.

Any episode with Hal was god tier. Him and Craig were the greatest team. Remember the fucking monkey helper?
>>63452337
I just can't bring myself to seeing Hal and Walter as the same guy. It's crazy.
Anyone know the name of the episode where Hal's taking care of the boys, and he ends up with a bunch of different 'personas' around the house telling him what to do (some of them are cowboys, or astronauts, etc.)
It culminates with him clasping his ears and yelling 'SHUT UP,' with the boys wondering why.
I've tried googling it a few times but could never figure out how to phrase it in order to get the answer.
>>63447370
The one with the boys never passing the ball to Dewey, but then using him to grab it and promising he'll get to play and then continuing to never pass it to him
it's just so perfectly accurate in how brothers work, it stuck with me even if it isn't the funniest or most original
this one >>63429560 is pretty top tier though
Mfw Stevie had Double Dragon 4 for NES
>>63452487
Why do people love this episode so much? I barely remember it, but I frequently see it brought up as one of the best in the series.

Fuck you, Hal was my favorite character and I actually refused to watch Breaking Bad at first since I didn't think someone so hilarious could do a drama.
I remember seeing some chick I went to High School with in the episode where they go to the lake house with the wheelchair kid's family. She was also in a movie...I think it was Max Keeble's Big Move?

t-b-q-h-f-a-m The Middle could not be further from Malcolm in the Middle both in quality and content... no one would ever make a comparison between the two if they hadn't named that shit tier show what they did.
The Middle dad = shit tier and hasn't said one funny televised thing since he was The Janitor
Hal = God Tier
The Middle mom = Annoying unfunny lazy bitch who also has not done or said one funny thing over the course of the show.
Lois = God Tier
Little Kid from The Middle = Was cute for like 5 episodes before he started morphing into the certified nightmare fuel he is today.
Dewey = Autistic God Tier

Reese: You did not. You just lied.

>Ok, you know what? So here’s the thing, lady. We’re better than you. Every one of us, in every way. I’m smarter than you. More educated, and I contribute more to Society. I have a family that loves me. I live in a big house, drive a nice car, and make more money in a year than you’ve probably made your whole
lifetime.
>Big deal, so you’re a drug dealer!

Did Dewey make enough from the show and residuals to just live a comfy NEET life or something? You never see or hear from him, he wasn't even at the reunion.

Who is this sentence dementess
>>63452758
Fair enough, I think that part hadn't occurred to me before, I just remember trying to phrase 'Hal's split personas', 'Hal voices in head' etc. several different ways.
>>63452708
Thanks senpai

Every one gets their own little adventure centered around their personalities and neurosis and they all affect each other at the end

>Seeing him in L.A. Noire
The very first episode I watched and probably my favorite is Company Picnic.

>>63453849
This. It's a great summary of every character.
>Malcolm beta male unable to bang a girl
>Lois going full berserk (even if it's for some legit reasons)
>Reese desperately trying to get icecreams, using stupid methods at first but coming up with a clever plan later
>Dewey casually travelling across the world, people giving him a ride, he just doesn't give a fuck
>Hal having some kind of mental breakdown
>Francis doing stupid shit at his military school because the students are bored (mirrors one famous scene from the movie Cool Hand Luke, and when you see both the movie and MITM, you realize Luke and Francis are pretty similar)
>>63454098
Fuck I meant Krelboyne Picnic. I got them mixed up
>There are people in this thread that are not listing Family Reunion among their favourite episodes
>>63429177
Americans: Was krelboyne a commonly used term at school?
>tfw poor little Zadoc left his country to get away from this kind of abuse
>>63454823
I've never heard outside this show
>literally every time Hal gets obsessive about something completely ridiculous
I can't get enough of that.
>>63453849
>Lois goes full berserk with the call centre guy on the phone
>I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER
>*high pitched voice* Hello, this is the manager
>WHAT, NO IT'S NOT
>YOU CAN'T DO THAT
>Ma'am, I'll be replaced with a robot in a few years, I don't give a damn
Funniest shit.
>>63429323
Guess I got what I deserved
>Ahh, passive resistance. The last resort for weenies and sissies.
>Sir, what about Gandhi?

The complete disdain in his voice just makes it

>The bees were real (no CGI) and they didn't use a body double, Bryan Cranston had 30 000 bees on him for this scene.
Cranston was the ideal guy for this role.
>>63444993
If my childhood memory is correct, then I'm like 99% sure he voiced the Zebra from Racing Stripes. So he probably got a sweet chunk of cash from that.
>>63455636
It's not really that scary if you know the nature of bees. As long as Cranston didn't make any quick or sudden movements and there was someone there to get the bees off calmly he's perfectly fine.
>>63454823
I was in the gifted class like malcolm and it was called GATE
When you grow up, your parents are irrational yet somehow all-knowing and wise. For the better part of my youth, I considered them "just knowing what's best".
This show really introduced me to the concept that my parents are just as unknowing as I was at times. Hal and Lois had the "authoritarian parent", but were probably reasonable considering how bad the kids were. Yet it showed their weaknesses, their inability to handle certain situations.
>>63455766
Yeah I was in something called GAT. Pretty sure it stood for 'gifted & talented'. Fuck lot of good it did, I'm here shitposting on 4chan
>>63455718
He still managed to get stung 2 times despite moving slowly. But yeah he was pretty cool about that while people on set were scared.
>>63451042
I never knew I wanted this.
>>63454558
>dumb animu poster
>That episode where in order to beat his crazy teacher at his own game Malcom actually fully applies himself
>He ends up with an above 100% grade average somehow
>>63455826
The kids had great parents. Yes sure, the children were awful and they seem to lack a proper education, but what were Lois and Hal supposed to do about that?
Regardless of this, they did their best to offer them the best future they could have, despite coming from a poor family. Reese finally got a job (a shame he didn't end as a cook or something, but he seems happy as a janny), Francis had a good job too and Malcolm got to Harvard.
The world needs more moms (or dads) like Lois.
>>63455602
Kek you retard
It's life is a square
Go back to reddit
>Frankie and his wife shop at goodwill
>>63455246
Or when Dewey does the same thing. Like when he built an entire city out if Lego, and ruled over it like a brutal dictator
>>63456354
That episode also had Francis' emancipation
>Hal chasing him down the street always gets me
>>63456538
>killed the dumb people for food
Dewey and Hal were always the most hilarious to me, but the great thing about the show was that everyone had their golden moments, and frequently
Who was smarter: Malcolm or Dewey?
>>63452487
i jerked to those buds so many times
>>63445773
>>63446400
>My favorite scene is the bowling episode, which is Season 3 or 4, and I'm so mad at my mom because she's embarrassing me in front to my friends and this girl I like because she's laughing at me because I keep getting gutter balls, even with the bumpers up I'm getting gutter balls.
>"HERE"S YOUR DAMN STRIKE" and I throw the ball from a foot away and I still miss every single pin. And I love that scene.
>So when we filmed it, they expected I would hit some pins, so they told me to act like I didn't hit anything after the throw. So we filmed it, and I say the line and I throw the ball and I literally didn't hit a single pin. You can kind of see me smirk a little bit, ya know what I mean, cuz I was so excited that i actually missed the pins - and they used it because they would never get another take where I missed them all and then I stormed off.

Dewey.
Wait, people actually like this shit show?
It doesn't even have a laugh track, how are you supposed to know what's funny?
>>63456538
>Live. Live. Live. Die.
>>63456683
Malcolm had a photographic memory and genius analytical skills, type you would see go into beta sciences (STEM and shit) and excell
Dewey was a creative genius as well as having top tier people skills (expert manipulator)
They're both a typical side of the whole 'left brain vs right brain' analogy, no matter how dumb and false that theory is
Malcolm would traditionally be seen as smarter, but you can't honestly compare the two
>>63452557
No matter what tho its still the third best francis. No lie.
>>63456794
>You can kind of see me smirk a little bit
no you cant
only the first season is good
everything after focus too much on story and isn't nearly as funny
>>63456683
Malcolm is excellent at 'right brain' stuff whilst Dewey is excellent at 'left brain' stuff. However, Dewey is shown to also be relativley good at 'right brain' stuff whilst Malcolm is shown to be awful at 'left brain' stuff.
So Dewey.
>>63457125
You've got your two brains mixed up
Left is analytical
Right is creative
>>63457033
>focus too much on story
Are you retarded?
>>63455246
>The DDR episode where Lois is so used to Hal being an impresionable idiot that she already knows his interest timetable like if it were a disease
I love it when a character is so settled into his manerisms that the other characters get slowly used to it.
>>63455833
Ours stood for Gifted and Talented Education. Mostly we just went on fieldtrips.
Pretty sure Krelboynes stood for a school dedicated where malcolm went

Ive been fapping to Lois for the past 11 years, ive downloaded so many fakes and came so many times to the same photo's, from shots of her cleavage to that scene in Wilfred
Its just Teenage Lois was a different kind of hot that was definite gf material. regular Lois to me was a fap toy.
>>63456416
>The kids had great parents. Yes sure, the children were awful and they seem to lack a proper education, but what were Lois and Hal supposed to do about that?
