theme song was totally otm for this show. this show was funny though all i can remember right now is the episode where hal for some reason became addicted to running things over with a bulldozer (?)

I have fond memories of this show and wouldn't mind watchnig it again - is it out on DVD?
― dayo, Thursday, 13 January 2011 16:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Only the first series, apparently the music was too expensive for latter.

this show made me irrationally angry.

I wonder who the best sitcom or movie mom of all time is?
like I think lois in this is pretty awesome, but so was the mom from home alone, and jill from home improvement.
― dayo, Thursday, 13 January 2011 16:16 (thirteen years ago) link
"Has there ever been an uglier cast?"
night court cast
home improvement cast
dear john cast

so even though I think she was the most authentic mom of all time, there def was an aspect of watching her do her mom thing that was more uncomfortable-uncomfortable than uncomfortable-funny
― iatee, Thursday, 13 January 2011 22:37 (thirteen years ago) link
The episode in which Lois gets fined for a driving offense is like the platonic ideal sitcom episode.
― Rejoice that you weren't eaten (chap), Thursday, 13 January 2011 22:40 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, that one was amazing. I especially liked the terrified look in Hal's face when he finds out that she actually committed the offense, and how the kids finally found out that their mother is not infallible. Great episode
― frogbs, Thursday, 13 January 2011 22:51 (thirteen years ago) link
This show was rad. fuck the haters.
I totally second this by the way.

Dude was also in http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109287/
12-year-old Preston Waters is tired of his pain-in-the-butt brothers and stingy parents. One day, a rich but convicted money launderer by the name of Quigley nearly kills him in a parking lot and gives him (by mistake) a blank check. So Preston boots up his computer, makes out the check for one million dollars cash money, comes up with the pseudonym of "Macintosh" and starts to spendin'. But Quigley wants his money back -- it was supposed to be cashed by another man with a blank check and handed back to Quigley. Can Preston keep up the facade? Will Quigley and his goons get their money back? And will Preston learn how valuable money really is?
Part of the 1990s Post-"Home Alone" Kids' Movie Wish Fulfillmentcore genre.

fun fact: 60% of all kids movies between 1992-1995 were about precocious middle-class kids coming into a ton of money. It was proto-Social Network.

I feel like this guy might have a charlie sheen-like life ahead of him
Yep yep looks like it's already starting
The difference is that I can't see him scoring another sitcom now. In fact most of the later seasons of Malcolm kind of emphasized how generally unlikeable he was. I wouldn't be surprised if he winds up broke in a couple of years (in the most awesome way, of course)
― frogbs, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 14:19 (thirteen years ago) link
I can imagine him getting another show at some point. He wouldn't have to play a likeable character.
― Inevitable stupid dubstep mix (chap), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 14:37 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah but the question is can he really act? I doubt that Dewey would get another role and Reese already moved on to production work.

What's Francis up to these days?
― Inevitable stupid dubstep mix (chap), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 17:13 (thirteen years ago) link
I think Muniz got into some twitter beef with people a while back and eventually retorted that he made bank and doesn't have to do anything? I was kind of amused but don't remember who he was arguing with.
― w/no hesitation (mh), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 17:22 (thirteen years ago) link
xp no idea but I'm surprised he didn't get more work. He's easily the most photogenic of the bunch. I was floored to find out his older brother is Hyde from That 70's Show...but now I definitely see it
― frogbs, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 17:58 (thirteen years ago) link
Not only is Hyde his brother, Francis & Donna (Laura Prepon) were an item.

― w/no hesitation (mh), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 19:21 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah they are. I remember reading an interview w/Danny where he talked about how tight he was when he was a teen with the Giovanni & Marissa (Mrs. Beck) Ribisi. Shades of 70s Show, he said he fell out with his family and crashed with them for awhile when he was starting his acting career.

The plot thickens
"I don't want to make a big deal because I am a celebrity," Muniz tells the operator. "I don't want there to be a big deal. I don't want any charges -- I just want her to stop throwing stuff!"

Who the hell goes by "Frankie" anyways.
he should just change his name to Malcolm.

i knew a frankie in high schoolcholo, cool as fuck. went by frank later, didnt fit imo
― tremendoid, Tuesday, 22 February 2011 23:49 (thirteen years ago) link
I feel like frankie is a name that only works for people under 15 and frank is a name that only works for dudes over 35, and so he's stuck in 'in the middle'
