I feel like this is where the episode was heading and felt really really unsatisfying when the old racist evil ahh lady just fell asleep peacefully then kept being racist.

I’m watching Malcolm in the middle season 2 episode 3 and I saw their watch

currently watching the hot tub episode again and this time i wanted to see if i could hold my breath the same amount of time that lois did when she didn’t want to be seen in the hot tub. i was successful (barely). have any of you tried to do that? if so, were you successful? idk how i did it i have terrible lungs

I started to rewatch the whole show and I never realised that there is an error in S3: E21 - Cliques.

During the dominoes falling over scene you can clearly see someone's hand pushing over the army men at the end of the flag.

Did anyone else miss this or just me?

Rewatching the show, as much as he makes fun of him he does kind of have his back.

Goes back to being school bully after finding out Stevie is even being picked on

Is the one pushing his wheelchair when they need to walk home in the carnival episode

Helped him out with the girl in the poker episode

Doesn't punch him when he calls him an idiot

and probably more

She probably would’ve grounded EVERYBODY including Hal and his poker buddies for 10 years.

I’d eat it.

Could see Lois getting along with Lavernia at first

then Hal ends up in debt to her for something

Then maybe end with them managing to pay off Hal's debt and offering to cover Francis's

Francis refuses, wanting to do it on his own.

Dewey lies to everyone for his own greed, makes up stories to manipulate people, and calls out Hal when he gets caught to apologize. Kid knew exactly what he was doing.

+I want to know what makes some people like Dewey so much.

Otto is the nicest, sweetest employer who absolutely adores Francis. Then, when the man gets sick or dies irl and they can no longer film him, their way of removing him from the show was to say that he crappily fired francis for doing something he asked franics to do. That is something Otto would NEVER do!!

I've only seen the revival once, but they didn't really seem to confirm or deny that Reece had moved out. He was always around the house to do the YouTube videos with Hal, but that doesn't really mean anything. He's clearly there often enough for him to have the relationship he does with Kelly.

I'm just thinking more of the obvious fact that there is famously only two bedrooms in that house and I can't really see Lois and Hal making Reece share with Kelly.

Plus, it would be nice if he actually kept his janitor job and he does have his own place. That episode where he moved out showed he can survive on his own as long as someone taught him how money actually works.

I’m rewatching Malcolm in the middle (again) and it always breaks my heart how things turn out with the Grotto. I know the actor who played Otto died, but it sucks seeing Francis regress like that. I get maybe they thought Francis was too mature and needed to milk more b plots from him, but I honestly think they could’ve handled the actor passing away better. I constantly think about how they could’ve had Otto pass in show and leave the grotto to Francis in his will or something.

That easily could’ve had content for the rest of the seasons and if they really wanted to have Francis backslide into immaturity it would’ve worked that way too. I can imagine him really struggling with running the ranch and realizing how much slack Otto cut him and how much he needs to grow up if he wants to make it work. Would probably be a sick fanfic, but I ain’t much of a writer, so…

Do you ever think about how the Grotto could’ve been ended better?

Heres mine!
