First Scrubs now this? Man, they're out of ideas.

I doubt they manage to recapture the magic of the original show. Also, Frankie himself is a hardcore Trump supporter which will make this hard to watch for me.

If that would be a metric, there would be some 5 shows left to watch. At least he is wiser than 80% of his collogues in this aspect:

"I’m just an actor. When I hear actors and celebrities talking about a cause or whatever it may be, they are just an actor," he said. "I don’t know why all of a sudden their opinion matters so much."

He is not wrong, their opinions are ignorant bs most of the time, regardless in which political ditch they are big_smile American politics is dumb and dumber, they all could do the world a favor and just stfu, learn from this Frankie.

Re: Malcolm in the Middle (2026)

i think a lot of actors who made millions blew all their money
now they get a last chance to milk the sheep
as they line up for nostalgic fleecing...
was it the simpsons or south park that foretold this????

its almost as bad as lining up to see 75 year rock stars in diapers on their 4th farewell tour.

Can't believe it - they resurrected an old show without messing it up, that's gotta be a first

Re: Malcolm in the Middle (2026)

Why does it say: episode 4 (of 16 ordered) on the main page?
I went through the rabbit hole, and it soesn't seem that there are coming more

Re: Malcolm in the Middle (2026)

Since it's only four episodes, I am gonna take it slow with this one.
First episode was close to perfect. Everything exceeded my expectations smile

I would scale this in general higher, with 1+4 being great and 2+3 "ok" smile
I enjoyed it overall very much. They packed in as much of the original supporting cast as possible.

Kinda weird though that all of Malcolms and Frankies old buddies are on their parents anniversary party?
Guess we shouldn't think too much about it smile

I think these four episodes hit better than the eight episodes we got from Scrubs so far - although Scrubs seems like it's going for a big season final.

I am finding the Scrubs reboot way better, does not feel forced. And they did not turn any of them to the other side.

Re: Malcolm in the Middle (2026)

First episode was on point, really felt like a good episode of the old show. The rest was, at its lowest, nice. Glad they made this.

Seemed a bit like they probably put out a general call who'd be willing to return, and it turned out to be almost everyone, and then they realized they couldn't actually write scenes that make sense for all of them so they just said fuck it and went with this? Yeah, not thinking about it too much is good...

I thought the first episode was weak but really enjoyed the following episodes and the ending made me burst out laughing.

ignore all other comments. This was hilariously awesome. If you loved the old MITM, you will love and laugh yourself silly at this. Only downside is that it's now over.
