I have always been a massive fan of this series and im currently on a rewatch after a long time. I think its brilliant and it paved the way a lot of good things but never touched.

Any fans?

I remember enjoying it when it was on.

Both Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek were brilliant. And i absolutely adore their characters.

Great show

If I’m not mistaken, they never gave us the family’s last name.

Cranston is amazing. His range is unreal.

I remember watching Malcom and thinking ¨this guy will be Dr. Tim Whatley forever to me¨ and then turning Breaking Bad and thinking ¨this guy will be Hal forever to me¨

He is fucking incredible.

Good show. I'd be interested to see how I feel about it now as a parent.

So you admit it. You were an anti-crantite.

the fuck is that

I loved it when it was on. Malcolm is probably the least funny character.

I enjoyed it while it was on. The parents were perfectly cast; I remember the Hal role being something Phil Hartman would have been good at.
On an overnight flight back from Phoenix Frankie Muniz was on my plane last year. He's still instantly recognizable.
I don't know if he had a middle seat or not.

Im not sure about that. I love how weird he is. Love how much he suffers from being so smart. I guess the whole family is very funny.

This and Married with Children have the same problem for me, which is they're a little too close to home. But I still like both shows.

You’ll get it eventually

great show as others have mentioned


the one episode that stands out is when malcom's classmates think the family is poor and start a food drive

Hal mentions how he just enjoyed a can of prunes from the food drive and lois is like, there were no prunes

turnes out it was a can of expired peaches and hal ends up in the hospital

the three sons are in the room having a heart to heart talk

all of a sudden hal farts in his sleep

everyone looks on in disbelief

I fucking love how filthy and awful they kept their house. The porch is just awful. And loooove how Hal and Lois had a great house, great life before the kids.

My kids are watching it. It holds up pretty damned well.

even season 1 is way better than most of the stuff that precedes this one. I feel its the series The Simpsons didnt become.
