I love the show too. My only complaint regards the parts with the brother in the military academy. I think they just detract from the flow of each show, and aren’t as funny as the rest of it.
I love the kid who plays Malcom–his face is so expressive! Very cathartic to watch him suffer each week…
When Mrs. Rastahomie and I went to Mardi Gras a couple of weeks ago, we got to the Endymion parade right after the Grand Marshall’s float had rolled by. The crowd was about 30 people thick and we couldn’t see anything, so we just decided to walk around on Bourbon Street instead.
The next morning we found out the Frankie Muñiz (Malcolm) was Grand Marshall, and we freaking missed it! :mad:
I started tuning in because of the astoundingly high They Might Be Giants content (they do virtually all of the music), but I got hooked on the total package. Sure, the music’s still great, but that gang of writers really knows how to make with the funny!
Tonight’s episode was one of the funniest ever. This show is starting to become consistantly better than the Simpsons (never thought I’d hear myself say that). In fact, I don’t think they’ve had a single bad episode yet.
The only thing that disappoints me a little bit is the almost total lack of TMBG songs in the second season. Oh well.
This show is awesome. I missed a few minutes of last nights episode but was told what happened. The scene with Francis banging on the window after the teacher’s remark about being a callous parent had me rolling on the floor. The restaurant episode was another great one.
If I had been told two years ago that there was going to be a live-action comedy on Fox better than the Simpsons, I wouldn’t have believed it.
Military school is an important part of the show because that’s where you send the kids when then don’t behave & need to learn disipline. Francis appears to learn some disipline there.
