Pros

  • ▪︎ Malcom in the Middle (Comedy, a quirky family where the main character is a genius and doesn't fit in) - medium
  • That said, Scrubs and Malcolm in the Middle were a constant in my teenage years so it’s exciting that we’ll be able to check back in with our favourite characters decades later.
  • The shows I really enjoyed were: Sons of Anarchy (favorite show tbh) , Ozark, Supernatural, Breaking Bad, Malcolm in the middle, Tulsa King, Yellowstone, The good place.
  • After rewatching Malcolm in the Middle as a late 30s father of 3 boys I am much more sympathetic of Lois and Hal.
  • This guy would sing songs silly on Malcolm in the Middle and trademark them in order to get an additional check out of the show.

Cons

  • I absolutely hated his ending. The ranch was the perfect place for him. To have them casually ruin that relationship and also infer he bankrupted Otto / the ranch and end up some desk jockey after fighting the power his entire life was s...
  • Francis on Malcolm in the Middle is victim of some of the worst character assassination in television... Then, it feels like the writers ran out of ideas for what to do with him, and they flush it all down the toilet. His wife leaves him...
  • We started quarantine with Malcolm in the Middle, and, by the time the masks were off, we were watching Breaking Bad.
  • This headline made me think, "Damn, I haven't tuned in on Sunday since King of the Hill and Malcolm in the Middle ended."

I absolutely hated his ending. The ranch was the perfect place for him. To have them casually ruin that relationship and also infer he bankrupted Otto / the ranch and end up some desk jockey after fighting the power his entire life was such crap.

Francis on Malcolm in the Middle is victim of some of the worst character assassination in television... Then, it feels like the writers ran out of ideas for what to do with him, and they flush it all down the toilet. His wife leaves him, he loses the job, and ends up a loser in a flop house where he doesn't pay rent. And it all happens off screen! It's completely out of left field and, frankly, just sucks.
