Apparently the dudes brain damage is so bad he's had some form of visual hallucinations and eye seizures since his teenage years. Probably why he kept getting concussion after concussion - he couldn't visually understand the world correctly.
Frick I wouldn't wish that on anyone. He's cognatively aware enough to know his brain is fricked but can't do a damn thing about it.
No that isn't true. He went on Steve-O's podcast and said that rumor came from Dancing With The Stars twisting his words after they did an interview with him and tried to push him to say the year they won the Emmy was his favorite year, when he said he didn't really remember any specific year because he was a kid and they filmed so much stuff. They cut it in with him talking about the health problems he's had and made it seem like his brain is fricked but he's completely fine.
You missed the joke that anon made. >Dewey was topped >topped means receiving anal sex >running joke/claim/meme that actor who played Dewey was raped by people in Hollywood >fricked cuz easily could be true
Malcom is a douchebag and I can't stand these weird shows where all the characters are just treating each other badly all the time
and it also has this antisocial let's laugh at poor people vibe americans seem to love so much
>laughing at disadvantaged people is wrong
You mean kinda like how you all talk constantly about how it’s a mass shooting, no insurance, dog eat dog country here while you look down your noses at everyone unfortunate enough to born here?
It wasn't laughing at poor people, it was relatable humour. I was poor and it's one of the only relatable sitcom families. Also, Malcolm IS a douche bag, that's his character. It's funny because he's a genius but still a dickhead clueless kid.
Malcolm in the Middle is absolute kino '00s aesthetics. I have so many fond memories of this show and it works on so many levels. Tbh I haven't found anything like it. Sitcoms are usually overplayed, bottom of the barrel gag sequences, while everythign in MitM feels planned and thought out. Loved the secondary characters, even the one-shot like chess dude.
Married with Children is more of a realistic "poor" family show
Malcom was not even poor, they had all kind of stuff and shit that only poor people could dream about. >NOOO I CAN ONLY DRINK ONE GLASS OF ORANGE JUICE I'M POOR!!
Hal being a pussy was the reason the family was the way it was
It was basically a single mother household, it had the same dynamics, because Hal was absent
Francis is the best character
>Show called Malcolm in the middle
>Malcolm isn't the middle child
Fake news
He literally is though?
There can't be a perfect middle among 4 children. I agree after Jamie is born then Malcolm becomes the middle child. But that's only after 4 seasons
You know there can be two middle children, right?
He is when Hal has his final baby
>You know there can be two middle children, right?
>Francis
>Reese
>Malcolm (in the middle of them)
>Dewey
>Jamie
This thread is full of fricking morons
Did you know the dad was that one guy on that one show with the blue stuff?
It's honestly a nostalgia overload for me, same with Hook the last time I tried to watch it.
Malcolm doesn't remember being on this show, it's like it never happened to him. It must be bizarre as hell to watch episodes of it for him.

it's okay Frankie, there's no need to deny what happened
>malcolm in the middle
>isn't in middle of frame
should've called it malcolm on the left
mandatory Reese was hot in later seasons post
he's a gay irl
Malcolm in the middle of an existential nightmare where he gets shot and feels the pain
Dewey sure as hell was.
i liked those scenes from his kid perspective
You missed the joke that anon made.
>Dewey was topped
>topped means receiving anal sex
>running joke/claim/meme that actor who played Dewey was raped by people in Hollywood
>fricked cuz easily could be true
There was no joke intended you just need to get your head out of the gutter you sick frick
why was the mother such a b***h
Women are crazy
Racist show
Where are the black people?
All of Hal's friends are black
Malcolm's best friend is black
Kinda ironic that Bryan Cranston's career would show more longevity than his cast mates. Wtf even happened to Frankie Muniz after the show ended?
became a musician and tried to get a career in nascar racing, the racing is why he has some of his concussions in the first place
For me it was Canadian girl in season 1
It's probably because I've already seen it many times, but I'm rewatching it again for the first time in a decade and I think it's pretty overrated.

>let's laugh at poor people vibe americans seem to love so much
The demographic for the show was middle class/poor people and they liked it

The show wasn't made for non-Americans. Your opinion is irrelevant.
It's a deconstruction of the wonder years nostalgia kitsch, most times it feels as if watching an Italian coming of age film
As a lower middle class American I felt "represented" as the kids say by MITM

it's a bummer they didn't pursue more episodes with seinfeld cameos, an ep with michael richards would've be good
> can this ever be topped?
Yes, no, maybe... I don't know
wouldn't be made today if at least one parent was black and the kids were mutts
based morons
Turned to shit after first few seasons
What's the one episode where malcolm gets "justed" when his female classmate walks in on him wearing his undies and trying to dry his pants?
The little minx was caleld Julie and was like one of the first, if not the fifrst episodes
it's the only show I was able to relate too? As someone who was raised in a middle low dysfunctionnal family with 4 children. And a manchildren dad.
all other american show were about richgay kids. Not verety relatable even if comfy.
Malcolm Was smart tho.

>NOOO I CAN ONLY DRINK ONE GLASS OF ORANGE JUICE I'M POOR!!
married with children too as my mom was a trashy lazzy alcoholic. But my dad wasn't as black pilled as Al bundy.
do american suburbs really have street carnival things like the episode where they come back early from holidays and their neighbours are celebrating
Could a spinoff focused on The Grotto work?
>watch the show as a kid
>love it, hate the parents
>watch the show today
>still love it, but hate the kids now
Kino
maturity is understanding Lois was right all along.
You became the boss of you now and you are somewhat big, life is fair
imagine cracking a fortune cookie and reading that
Lois was having an egotrip fighting literal children.
It wasn't for their benefit. She did it for herself.
And Hal was too much of a pussy to stop it.
Hal being a pussy was the reason the family was the way it was
It was basically a single mother household, it had the same dynamics, because Hal was absent
>It's a Hal episode
time flies
why does he look like that
Raising hope was really good and had consistently good quality except for the MyNameIsEarl crossover episode.
he sold too much bitcoin
The Francis side plots were the best part of the show and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
