Hal.
The teacher’s name is “Caroline.” Your ears are slurring.
I was wondering if perhaps he died, because after the season premiere (or maybe before) they had “In Memory of [some name].” IMDB doesn’t have that guy’s name (the military buddy, can’t think of his character name) in there anymore, it seems. Anyone know?
Does anybody remember the old Leslie Nielson movie - I think it was “Forbidden Planet” - I don’t remember the title - but the name of the super advanced incredibly intelligent (and long dead) people was the “Krell.” Maybe this is the source of the name originally?
The guy Francis roomed with in the first season was Stanley, I believe. I’ll hunt around for the actor’s name.
Off to MPSIMS.
That’s an Alec Baldwinian career move: quit a small part on Malcolm to be a bit player on Freaky Links for three weeks. Jeeze, did Fox give that show more air time in all of the commercials it ran for it than actual show it broadcast?
OK, that is such an obscure, Dennis Millerian reference that I don’t think a dim bulb like Reese would ever pick up on it. Hell, I don’t think students at a public junior high school would ever get it, either. I need to find the names of the writers of that show and compose a strongly-worded letter…

I liked the one where it was the first day they weren’t grounded, and Lois was sick, so the boys played hooky from school. Only Francis got kicked out of military school so the boys tried to keep their mother from finding out, only Dewey hid the letter in Lois’s pillow. So the boys loaded all of their parents’ favorite stuff onto the roof in a little cart on wheels with an open can of red paint. And then launched it off the roof.
And Hal puked in the Ferarri he was test driving. Hee!
Last summer, they were touting this show more than Jesus Christ himself.
“a breakthrough comedy,” raved one random critic paid to hype every television show in existence
“I laughed, I cried, I shit myself” exclaimed Strom Thurmond
I kept thinking to myself, this show hasn’t even hit the airwaves yet, you lying sommanabeaches! Audiences across the country are NOT raving for this show. I skipped the first episode in protest. Simpsons over? I’ve got half an hour to kill before x-files, I guess (hey, I’ve more than learned my lesson on those hammock shows NBC has on Thursday nights).
Finally, reluctantly, with absolutely nothing else to do, I sat down and watched one of the episodes last January. Holy crap! It was just about the funniest thing I’d ever seen on TV!
Yes, Virginia, some things can live up to their hype.
[sub]just now realizing there were four questions I didn’t even remotely come close to answering. [/sub]
Does anybody else fear that Francis is going to go the way of Chuck from Happy Days? They either need to give him a spin off show or give his character better stories. Although eating 100 peeps is a funny concept, it is a 2 minute bit they stretched out through the whole show.
AND the “peeps” bit was done by the Comic Book store guy in last week’s “Simpsons.” I’m wondering now if someone at Fox just bought stock in the Peeops company.
Well, to be fair, it was a different joke, that just used bizarre amounts of Peeps as a prop.
‘Ooooh, I wish real chicks went down so easy…’
It’s close enough for me. Right before he delivers that line, you hear him counting as he eats “98 … 99 … 100.”
The guy who died had appeared in one episode as a military buddy (according to an AP story I read). I don know that it was a white guy who had been in the movie Kids and that his death was a suicide by hanging.
Hasn’t Stanley been in one ep briefly this year? I recall one scene where Francis is asking Stanley questions while on the phone, and then Stanley says, “I have to get back to the pool game, it’s my turn.” It was a brief appearance, but one nonetheless.
Maybe he’ll come back now that Freakly Links has gone bye-bye.
Maybe they meant “Krell Boys” as in the Krell from “Forbidden Planet.” I guess so far they haven’t had any visiting “Monsters from the Id,” though.
I know that this is an old thread, but I just happened to stumble onto a really great Malcolm in the Middle site:
Oh, and the family’s last name is Wilkerson 
Damnit, I was just about to post that their last name was Wilkerson! Not that I am a fan (I’ve only caught a few episodes), but I looked it up on imdb.com.
Did anyone else think that new girl in his class kicked ass? The way she took care of Resse was too funny!
And that is pretty cool that Francis is Hydes rl brother.
When my husband first watched the show he couldn’t figure out why their house was such a mess. Well, honey, we have five kids and doesn’t our house look like that most of the time? They are trying to make them seem more real than Roseann, which started out okay, but got real lame with the one-liners and half the cast being gay.
Great, she supported the life style, but almost everyone ended up gay. Not a bad thing, just laying it on a bit heavy.
And I think they explained somewhere that Malcom is in the middle of the three at home.
Has anyone caught who sings the theme song? At first I thought it was Weird Al, but now I’m not so sure.
Nope. It’s some new, unknown band, but I don’t remember their name. They showed a music video of it after the season premeire, though.
