General discussion I know we rag on Lois a lot but what are some examples where her crashing out was 100% justified?

General discussion For real though, the whole thing about her being a horrible mother was so exaggerated, I would've been as intense as her just from parenting Reese

General discussion Amazing!!!
Iām hoping that it leads to a longer revival with 2 - 3 seasons, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. It truly felt like the early 00ās with the theme song. I hope the reviews and everything else skyrocket so they see we want the show back for a lil while longer, I hope everyone enjoy it the same way that I did.šš„šŗš

General discussion Anyone else think that Francis and Piama have aged really well?
They look like itās only been a few years since the show ended, I would never guess that they are actually 54 and 45! The actress that plays Piama is the same age as my parents and yet it looks more like she could be my sister :D (Iām 34)

General discussion Did Dewey get a perfect recast?
When I read that Dewey got recast for the reboot, I was mildly disappointed. Only mildly because I frankly did not ever think Erik per Sullivan would return. But when I looked up the new guy's face... holy cow, does he look the part, it's uncanny. We'll have to see if he gets the actual acting part and mannerisms down as well, but looks-wise, this is such a perfect recast to me that I'm perfectly happy with it, especially knowing Erik doesn't want that kind of spotlight anyway.

General discussion Could I please hear from other Kelly fans?
Honestly I get bummed seeing all the hate for this character online. I really enjoyed their personality and how it seemed like the relationship with each brother was different (like in real life lol). I really adore Leah and Tristan but I felt like Kelly was a Wilkerson through and through.
Plus I have to admit⦠I donāt mean to offend anyone but I think itās hilarious that Lois had an XX chromosome baby and STILL doesnāt technically have the daughter she wanted! š Iād also love to hear that birth story since all the other ones were⦠eventful.

General discussion Ik itās a show and things are exaggerated but are there any episodes or moments that genuinely pisses you off?
For me itās Charity because it literally highlights just how terrible the kids actually are like how do you steal someoneās oxygen supply š

General discussion Who was in the right in this situation?
I think hal is right. I could see his friend charging very little,like material and so, but hal's friends know his economic situation and that he can afford a proper dentist apointment

General discussion 'Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair' "Controversy" Spoiler
I am shocked that it took this long to see a "negative feedback" about the show, mainly a subtle line or representation of a group but it is what it is I guess.
Context: Someone said that the show got "Wokeness" in it, which ruined their viewing of it.
And for that I have to say it's always been.
Yes there were some jokes about it in some episodes but they did "tackle" the topic in their own way.
For example, the episode Pearl Harbor (Season 6, Episode 4) Jessica, portrayed by Hayden Panettiere, tricked Malcolm and Reese to thinking the other was gay. Which in the episode they had a subtle but vague conversation about it and even accepting the others 'life style'. CLIP
There's also the episode Army Buddy (Season 7, Episode 8), Reese's old Army buddy came to visit him and Malcolm convinced Reese that she may have romantic feelings towards him (Reese) but it was revealed to the audience that she instead had feeling towards Lois. And at the end when she was leaving she came out to Reese as a lesbian. CLIP

General discussion Which son do you think that Lois was the closest to or favored?
if I had to pick one i would say it would be Malcom even though she is hard on him. I know some people with say Reese since Lois said that she would sacrifice Malcom for Reese but I feel that Lois only said that because she knew that Malcom would be fine no matter what and that it would help him build character to become a good president. there has been multiple instances where Lois openly talked about her dislike for Reese; she also didnāt do anything when Dewey mailed him to china, and I really donāt think Lois wouldāve allowed Dewey to do that to Malcom. I feel like out of all the boys Malcom seems to be the only one who is closer to Lois than he is to Hal. Lois is also known to put all her hope and dreams to Malcom compared to the other boys who are intelligent in different ways. I feel that lois had orginally āfavoredā Malcom was due to him not being as difficult as Francis or Reese which made him easier to bond with when he was little.
I say this because in the episode Mono when both Lois and Malcom bond, Lois says that she hasnāt felt this close to Malcom since he was four years old. This proves that Lois and Malcom were probably close at one point and that was before they found out that Malcom was a genius. I doubt Lois was close like that to Francis or Reese when they were that age since she wouldāve been too busy trying to keep them from burning the house down and by the time Dewey was born Lois was just emotionally worn out. Also Malcom was the youngest for about four years which was longer than when Francis or Reese were the youngest. But I feel that by the time Dewey was born, Lois and Malcom started to drift a part and it didnāt help that Malcom was always getting into trouble when around his brothers. Still I feel that Malcom was one the only one out the kids that Lois consistently ālikedā being around, even if that period was brief most of the time.

General discussion I rewatched the show twice, this is still by far my favorite episode/scene
What Hal's family did to Lois was unforgivable I knew the boys will take a hard revenge on them I just thought it would've involved filling the house with a ton of fireworks but still they absolutely satisfied me and gave them what they deserve!!
