Default Malcolm in the Middle

Anyone else love this programme, its fantastic, never heard it mentioned on here, if you have always flicked past it (usually Sky one, tea time or BBC2 Sunday lunch-ish) give it a go.

I love Malcolm in the Middle and so does my daughter. It's one of the programmes I stop on Sky one for, (the others being Futurama and the Simpsons.)

It's pretty funny; a good twist on the Simpson's disfunctional American family theme.


(cue someone mentioning "married with Children" as the daddy for this theme of show....but that was never funny - ever! )

Malcolm is rather entertaining. One of the great oddball TV shows

Yep love it. Shame all the episodes seem to be in no particular order.

Rees/reece is my fave character. We were pissing ourselves with laughter last night at the one where his dad sleep walks even though weve seen it before.

Oliver Beene is also worth a watch. Not the same relentless comedy but very good effort and a nice alternative.

Simon.

IMO, the American comedies we're geting now, (about 4 years out of date?) beat most recent British stuff. I get into bother with the wife for watching them endlessly

Mind you, she'll watch episode after episode of someone doing up someoner else's house, garden, etc

My fave comedies, in no particular order, are:

Married with Children,
Eight simple rules for dating my daughter,
Malcolm in the middle,
Just Shoot Me,
Spin City,
and a blast from the past "Taxi"

Can't agree about Malcolm's mum though: I think she's a cross-eyed dog!
And has anyone else noticed how the fist three have extremely useless fathers?

We've been after the DVD box sets of Malcolm, but we've been disappointed to learn that they might not be releasing any of the series after series one.

Something to do with copyright of the incidental music played in the various episodes.

****!

I agree that it is a great show but I don't get to see it too often. One that I did like was when the "Mom" had her kidney removed to donate to her sister -she didn't want it!

Did anyone watch the pile of tosh which is called "V" tonight? Gawd that that brought back a lot of memories!

Yup, another fan of Malcolm here

Watched it since Season One, but the bad news is that this season will be the last

Love malcolm, and love the fact they've kept the same characters since series one, not many long running shows can boast that
Does anyone remember reece's ultimate dare? he tied a hose pipe from the fire hydrant to himself, and tried to jump the car on his bike, using the hose pressure as jet propulsion When his dad gets home, he's pinned to a tree, with his pants round his ankles, and dad just walks past, shaking his head class!
chris.

ps, check out THE IT CROWD ch4 fridays, very good
