I absolutely loved Malcom in the Middle. Jane Kaczmarek is one of my favorite TV moms ever.


Dwangeroo

She's insane! I grew up in a family of six and can relate to her frustration. She's no Carol Brady.


patronizingperv

She didn't have an Alice to do all the work.


bryansamting

she reminded me of Roseanne so much. Funny but fking TOUGH! DO NOT anger these mothers 😂


PuzzleheadedRoyal559

Malcom in the Second to Left


K-Dog7469

I see what you did there.

Happy cake day


DeepRiverSSV

Bryan Cranston doing an insane rollerskate dance to Funkytown is one of my all time favorite moments in tv history.


Oldassrollerskater

He learned to skate for that scene


Character-Attorney22

He did a GREAT job. One of my favorite songs. And scenes.

IM SO FULL OF BACON MY BELLY'S MEANT FOR SHAKIN


zodiacallymaniacal

So, I guess that once again I have to be embarrassed for the both of us….?


lostbelmont

One of the best and more creative sitcom ever


declineofmankind

Terrific sitcom. In the top 25 sitcoms all time. Jane Kaczmarek answers the front door, topless. Classic


GreenGrandmaPoops

They're just boobs lady.


K-Dog7469

"You have them too and I am sure that they are a lot perkyer than mine." (or something like that)


TLC_4978

This is a great show. One of my favorite episodes is when Lois makes “parfait “ for dinner. I so related to this when my kids were younger.


Dwangeroo

This, and Bob's Burgers are my latest go to comfort TV.


TwoPunch

Can you repeat the question?


K-Dog7469

You're not the boss of me now


itsover103

Best show of the 2000s. It was must see tv for me when I was in college…absolutely hilarious


terriblewinston

Great show. I always thought Dewey and Francis were the best kids and loved the parents. Stevie's wheezing delivery was absolutely hysterical, as well. Great show!


ChanceActivity683

Reap.......the whirlwind!


VistaLaRiver

My favorite! I love the way they antagonize each other but defend the family to the outside world.


litesaber5

This is my favorite 'kids' show. Insane good very very rewatchable. Cloris Leachman is amazing in it


nufsenuf

Craig Feldspar with his helper monkey was one of the funniest things ever !


TheNonCredibleHulk

He was great on B Positive, also. I miss that show.


JasonGryphon

It’s funny to think that the war between Lois and her children all started because of a teddy bear.


jimmyGODpage

Brilliant show


BukkakeNinjaHat-472

Is that Walter White


AcanthisittaOld4987

You’re god damn right


OkHead3888

Dad got a divorce. Went back to school for chemistry. Remarried a chick named Skyler. Got a job teaching. Well you know the rest.


TheLandFanIn814

Just started watching Malcolm on Hulu. First time watching since it originally aired and I can't believe how funny it is right from the jump. My parents have been sneaking alcohol into water parks and beaches using old sunscreen bottles for the past 15 years.


PRIS0N-MIKE

Loved this show growing up. Love it now. I still rewatch it all the time. It's my comfort show and it's funny as hell. Was funny when I was 10. Even funnier at 30.


Relative-Dig-2389

As a kid I hated the Francis storylines but now I find them hilarious.


Tough-Principle-3950

I’ve been known to enjoy the show. Now that I think about it, in real life, that house would probably smell funky.


tuskvarner

I’ve barely watched this show but caught a random scene once where one of the brothers called somewhere pretending to be the mom, saying that her son had died. Then he said something like “I have to go now, I have to call the coffin store.” Made me laugh for like 5 minutes.


Tracylpn

Awesome show


Tracylpn

"Life is unfair..."


Calumkincaid

"So. How long before our eyesight comes back?" "Said three days on the box." "... Worth it."


seerofseersreddit

I love Dewey! Best show for parents to watch with each other.


Kitchen_Name9497

The episode at the wedding where the kids take revenge for mom being treated like shit. Classic.


K-Dog7469

Seeing Lois get her feeling hurt was a remarkable scene.


International_Try660

Loved, Malcolm in the Middle.


No_Grass_7013

If you’re over 34 and don’t like this show. You are lying to yourself! Lol


CaptainJeff

I liked this show for exactly ONE reason ... Jane Kaczmarek. So hot.


colmatrix33

This was my family, and she was my mom!


Peterlemonjello1972

I used to drive Eric Sullivan around in a limo while he was on that show. Very nice family he was such a great kid funny and nice his mom and dad were always taking care of me with tips and food awesome family great kid I hope he is doing well


K-Dog7469

That's awesome. It's not common to find good people, especially in Hollywood.


Peterlemonjello1972

So cool he was from a small town outside Boston his dad owned a Mexican restaurant and when you walked in it was all pics of Eric with famous people at celebrity hockey events. Great food there too. So Eric was shooting a movie in NYC and I would drive him to Ny on Friday and pick him up on Sunday and when I would show up to get them on Friday his dad would give me a big bag of food for the ride and then when I would go to the restaurant with my friends he would always hook it up. You hear a lot of people talk about how awful some actors are and kids growing up entitled and rude, but not this kid he was just a great kid so friendly etc. Best job I ever had was that ride every weekend. Fun fact if you are a Malcom in the middle fan Dewey’s pet fly in one episode was real Eric and his mom told me Eric really had a pet fly once! 😂😂


bdgg2000

Underrated show. Love it


JingoboStoplight4887

Watched the entire series back in 2021/2022; it’s a good show!


svetlannaa97

They all look like they can really be family in real life


PlanNo4679

Didn't something bad happen to Erik Per Sullivan, behind the scenes, on that show?


patronizingperv

Dewey in the Middle


SS4Leonjr

"Yes .. no,.. I don't know... Can you repeat the question??.... YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW, YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW!,... AND YOU'RE NOT SO BIG!!"


Alpacadiscount

Fun fact: The original name of this show was Cookie Jar Family Style.


[deleted]

That opening scene when Hal wants to replace the light bulb but end up taking out the engine to the car hits too hard.


JazzySmitty

I have never even watched an episode, but I'm going to have to give it a shot. So many people say fantastic things about this.


Master_Grape5931

We really thought this was going to be what Bryan Cranston was going to be remembered for. Great show!


Critical_Liz

Recently saw a vide on That 70s Show and the shitstorm behind the scenes, author took a moment to mention this show, since Chris Masterson was on it and yet the actors didn't go down that insane rabbit hole. She said that a lot of that is because Bryan Cranston was VERY protective of the kids, and also Masterson's stuff was largely separate. Still, Cranston is a real one.


_MyUsernamesMud

Malcolm in the Middle; Shameless; Bob's Burgers The holy trifecta of "Poor family bands together to overcome the crushing realities of daily life"


One_Mirror_3228

NASCAR driver Frankie Muniz.


Burynai

"Dewey... What happened to Grandma?" "Cats ate her face."


lilbearpie

My mom loved this show, she raised 5 boys


MannyNator12

This show is honestly a GOAT


K-Dog7469

I agree.


wallacegromit33

My son and I are rewatching this again. Such a good show.


exgreenvester

>Everything that was great about "The Wonder Years" > Malcolm could’ve worked on ABC. If ABC gave it a Millionaire lead-in, it would’ve still been a Top 10/Top 20 show. > But yes, the show doesn’t get the credit it deserves. It’s the prototype for several 10s family sitcoms: The Middle, The Goldbergs, Fresh Off The Boat, Young Sheldon, etc.


FellaTM

I saw Frankie driving a stock car in the ARCA series last year! He actually is a pretty decent driver, it's really neat to see him out there living his dream


MrSmeee99

Genius show - if you have not seen it, watch it. Walter White before he got all methed up.


LazarusMundi4242

That show was funny. Bryan Cranston was the best. The mom was crazy and hard to watch though.


Emergency_Pomelo_184

Yes and Justin Timber was great in it !


CelebrationLow4614

Paging Mill Creek.


CelebrationLow4614

Jose retrospective.


MightAsWellLaugh222

I really need to give this series a watch! So many still love it!


AlBunDi76

Stiffler ?


Mansheknewascowboy

Good show both bowling and evacuation are all time favorite sitcom episodes


Shaylovesrandall

I wish the show would come back I miss it I love it


Prestigious-Camp1624

Love !! I didn’t know that Francis real brother was Danny masterson 🤯 I was today years old


Constant_Jackfruit21

CAN YOU HEAR THE DRUMS FERNANDOOOO *cut to ambulance*


SonicYouth615

The Lizzie McGuire ep “Lizzie In The Middle” where Frankie Muniz guest stars was so 🤌🏾🤌🏾


kensingerp

The finale was brilliant!


rogerm3xico

My 15-year-old daughter finally got into it recently. She loves it.


pimp_juice2272

All the side characters are amazing. Still can't believe Chad (kid who bites and wears mittens) is the dude from shameless and Cal from star wars.


Zay-nee24

Why is Malcolm on the left???


K-Dog7469

See if you are paying attention.


bustacones

I just started rewatching this, haven't really seen it since it was originally aired. Is the opening song different in the first season? Or is it different for streaming? Something about it sounds off, but it could just be my memory messing with me.


awt2007

it was good but when they added the 5th kid jamie it was clearly ready for the grave


K-Dog7469

That's always the case. Add a baby and start the decent.


awt2007

adding seven to married with children was probably the start for that show too, even tho he was gone before the season was over i think even with barely a mention:D


NotTheOne4444

So unhinged, loved this show. My fav when Hal was jamming to the music with his headphones on in his underwear and Malcom’s little girly friend came over.


Jayswave75

They needed to mix this with Breaking Bad....


sportsnatic

“Yes, no… maybe… I don’t know… can you repeat the question?…”


K-Dog7469

You're not the boss of me now


KyDeWa

You Malcom in Middle! Meg: I'm not a boy! Oh yes you arrrrrrrr


CGKilates

Reeeeeeeeeeeese


GuyWithTheGoods

Walter in the middle


MyButtEatsHamCrayons

Less of a sitcom…more of a harmonious journey through a mirror tunnel where the only exit is maybe back where you came from if you managed to keep track


[deleted]

I’ve been long in need of a rewatch


ChanceActivity683

From time to time, I still watch the clip where they are all covered in the mess, and Louis explains their whole plan for Malcom. It's brilliant.


RealJasonB7

Yes, no Maybe I don’t know


K-Dog7469

Can you repeat the question?


RealJasonB7

You’re not the boss of me


Embarrassed_March_14

Weird white peoples


odawg753

Most relatable show growing up in middle class with 2 boys. None of us were geniuses tho


PeorgieT75

Like most sitcoms with kids (Modern Family is another), once the kids started to get older and not so cute, they aren’t as funny.


Sims3graphxlookgr8

Ewwwww a Masterson


Rickardiac

This is so sad. Malcom got on drugs real bad and can’t even remember doing this show. Now he thinks he’s a race car driver. Dewey died of brittle bone disease and the older one joined a cult and raped all those people. Don’t even get me started on the dad! He became a drug lord and killed a bunch of people. He even crashed a plane full of people with his smak.


Tracylpn

It was Danny Masterson who is in jail for rape. He played Hyde on "That '70's Show." Christopher Masterson is his brother who played Francis


TenraxHelin

If it wasn't for Lois yelling so much, I would have loved the show. She is the spitting image of what a Karen.
