Even though it’s been joked about for years that the series would end this way, it’s still great to see it filmed. [Alternate Ending](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kZivVxB3vU) ---

Great stuff! Probably lost on the generation that’s too young to have seen MITM sadly. ---

Thanks for sharing that! It made me happy to see that they did that, and I thought the execution was excellent. ---

It’s great to see them fall right back into the old chemistry. ---

I still think having Frankie Muniz enter on crutches would have completed it. ---

Malcolm in the Middle's Hal may have eaten too many fried Twinkies before bed, according to a new DVD extra. \[UPDATED\] Scroll to second video. Well, they filmed the Newhart ending that so many of us joked about over the years. How many BB fans are even old enough to get the reference? Not that it matters. It’s kind of painful without a laugh track. ---

> [@drastic\_quench](#): > > How many BB fans are even old enough to get the reference? But not too old or too young to have missed Malcolm in the Middle. There’s a pretty narrow butter zone there. Of course, even if you never saw The Bob Newhart Show, it’s still funny as long as you’re familiar with MITM. ---

> [@HexRei](#): > > Great stuff! Probably lost on the generation that’s too young to have seen MITM sadly. Anyone too young to have seen Malcolm in the Middle (which ran from 2000 to 2006) is too young to have been watching Breaking Bad (2008 to 2013), so I’m not sure why they’d be interested in it in the first place… ---

I’ve not seen a single episode of _Malcolm in the Middle_ but still enjoyed that. Thanks. ---

I was hoping that Breaking Bad would end with Walter White going away with the Vacuum Repair Guy then the final scene would be him at the kitchen table on Malcolm in the Middle. ---
