Hi, r/malcolminthemiddle

By popular demand, the r/malcolminthemiddle moderation team has decided that we won't accept future submissions regarding Erik Per Sullivan and his absence from the reboot, and out of respect for his privacy we will not allow any photos taken by paparazzi to be posted.

Edit: This is not an April fools joke

HERKABE GRETCHEN JAMIE IS IN THE COAST GUARD KITTY KENARBAN Piama Leah Kelly Craig Dabney Malcolm Francis Hal and Lois There are some girls in between, any idea who they are?

General discussion Why was Reese never put in the Busey class?

Post image
Upvotes

In S5E18 (Dewey's Special Class) it was revealed that Reese influenced Dewey's IQ test results, which consequently put him in the Busey class. That begs the question: why was Reese never put in the special class for the 'emotionally disturbed'?

In S1E8 (Krelboyne Picnic) Lois said, "It'll be nice to meet the other parents. I'm sure they're (Krelboynes) better than the carnival freaks in Reese's class. What a horrible bunch of people." And in S2E19 Reese was almost put in a 'remedial class.' Were those early signals that Reese was a Busey-like students? How did they manage to let Reese follow mainstream education along with Malcolm?

I'm curious about your thoughts.

General discussion Are the boys really that bad?

Upvotes

Does anyone think they overreact how bad the boys are at times? I know it's tv and they exaggerate some things but be real. If they did half the things as bad as they claim, they would have been taken away by child services or in juvenile or all of them should have been sent to military school. They steal, vandalize, cause destruction of property, arson. They treat them like they're terrorists

Been a huge fan of Mitm since I was 9, so it was funny seeing him in my first watch of Gilmore girls. He has a somewhat similar prestigious vibe in this show as well.

General discussion Hal during the final season

59 Upvotes

I found the episode where he’s trying to help Dewey win over his classmate so hilarious because he would constantly do romantic things and Lois would be like “omg Hal you shouldn’t have”, he goes “it’s not for you”, he cared more than Dewey. I could not stop laughing and then he is trying to “lure her in the car and the neighbor calls the cops Lmao. Yes, it did look bad without context but the guy meant well 😅 I think it was even funnier when Lois was like “didn’t you learn this lesson with Francis”, safe to say he gets attached more than his sons do lol overall I loved the writing of this episode.

2) the second storyline I loved was when Lois and Malcolm are in bed sick and the neighbors find out Hal is free and available for them to party with. They hated his wife so much that while knowing he was married they tried to set him up with another woman lmao. He was so oblivious to it all and just thought it was friends being friends. He walked her home, kinda gave her flowers and acted like a great date, but he didn’t know that lol

Overall I’m glad the writers gave Hal interesting storylines as I finish my rematch in preparation for the reboot soon , CANT WAIT!

General discussion Celeb Cameos

866 Upvotes

Im going through a Malcolm rewatch with all the buzz for the new episodes coming out. I completely forgot Emma Stone has a short cameo. S7:E16 I remembered Hayden Panettiere (pre-Heroes) and even Yvette Nicole Brown because I love Communitty but the Emma Stone one was wild. Are there any other big names that made cameos on Malcolm before getting bigger? Obviously Cranston became the Emmy king with Breaking Bad but besides the main cast I mean.

So in Hal Quits, Dewey complains about a girl named Regina Tucker calling him Ewwy Dewey. Do you think it's the Gina that he ends up later having a crush on and Hal tries to give her candy?

General discussion The Lois and Dewey dynamic in S6

86 Upvotes

I’m gonna preface this by saying , I’ve seen this show a million times but I’m going through a rewatch currently .

Anyways the episode where Dewey was seeing another mom and it upset Lois was pretty funny but also kinda weird 😭 they played off the spoof like a husband who was cheating on his wife . It just makes you wonder who the heck in the writers room was like “let’s have Dewey cheat on Lois with another mom”

Their argument is such a play on with words , she goes “you’re not having anymore cake” and he goes “he wasn’t expecting any”, we all know what they really meant by that - I felt that part was a lil overboard but still funny

Interview Frankie’s new interview

87 Upvotes

I just watched all of Frankie’s new interview where he discusses what filming MITM was like, the reboot, his relationships with the cast post filming, and even dove into his racing life! I grew up watching the show, and to this day it is such a huge comfort of mine. Watching the interview just had my smiling ear to ear to see how happy, healthy, driven, and excited Frankie is! I feel like that’s hard to get in Hollywood stars nowadays. Anywho, the interview just healed a part of me I always knew I needed and I can’t wait to see how the reboot it! I want to just chat about what you took from it! I’m so happy! Here’s the link, it just came out within the week.

General discussion How does the show affect/shape your view on having kids?

25 Upvotes

Ok so hear me out- for some reason this show made me realize I do want to have kids (with the right person of course). I realize they are all behavior questionable, however, there is alot of resonance with my own childhood and I realize/remember how I would want my family/kids to feel. I know for some people it puts them off 😅
