@Raaawb3 жыл бұрын
@@Foxcade This video was suggested to me after having watched two others about "Justin Roiland's story circle." Seems apt, especially since I regard Malcolm to be one of the true genius sitcoms. As with Rick & Morty, I can recall several pure situations that I remember from Malcolm that still make me laugh aloud just thinking about. So I think of that story circle, which takes a complacent character forward from "need" to going to search, finding, then returning to their base, "having changed." The sitcom's challenge is to create a good story (with jokes) that then essentially re-sets the characters back to home base by the end, to have other adventures next week. When they have to tell somewhere around 150 stories over time -- well, I guess it makes daunting the idea of having the characters achieve substantial "change" to then carry forward. But, in real life, "we" also must learn the same lesson many times over before we finally change our own pattern behaviors. You almost hit my one most favorite moment in the series, in the episode where Hal is frustrated as he paints. After a solid week or so of painting he finally looks upon his work -- which WE don't get to see -- struck by realizing he's achieved what he was yearning to. He rushes the family in and we see them also appreciatively looking at what he painted with wonder in their eyes... just for a moment, as the massive layers of paint he laid slowly peels off the canvas... right on top of him. It was as perfect a type of ending as the Twilight Zone's "Time Enough at Last." Thanks for deciding to plant your flag on this show -- sure, maybe it's received ample appreciation in its time -- but it seems it could yet grow to a bigger, more proper amount of acclaim as its "legendary" status grows!

"A whine fest" is how I would describe Malcolm in the Middle though. It makes the world seem like everyone is evil and selfish and spiteful and out to get you. The mom is a horrible person and acts like that's everyone else's fault. I grew up in a lower-middle class family, and my grandma that raised me always worked hard to be kind and giving to everyone in her life. That's what I've tried to maintain as well. She grew up literally dirt poor, and instead of taking the message that life is unfair and wallowing in misery, she and my grandpa clawed their way up into the middle class through smart spending and hard work. And everyone loved them. I used to work with people who complained that service jobs were unfair and bullshit and didn't pay enough, but I did the SAME job as them in the Walmart Electronics department at the SAME store, and I thought it was fine, and most people were nice. It's a matter of perspective. And I think Malcolm in the Middle's perspective is perpetuating cynicism and nihilism and making the world worse off.

With regards to being "nice" people though, I agree they're somewhat portrayed as charicatures and the show definitely wouldn't be interesting or funny if they weren't so ridiculous.

For me, everyone knew Malcolm in the middle but it kinda became disliked just because it was so well known - but that show deserved every single view because it was leagues better than everything else on TV. I can't believe I ended up being one of those "I used to watch Malcolm but naw I've grown out of that" people, I've been rewatching it and I'm blown away by how edgy it can be and yet it's still such a progressive show that just blows my mind.

The main "reveal" in MITM when Lois starts explaining why she is the way she is towards Malcolm is what made the show extremely important to me. It wasn't super political but it was very much POLITICAL. It's a good message and honestly it's ambitious of her to be a caring parent. Reminds me of my mom and the sacrifices she's made for us.

I feel like this show is criminally underrated and forgotten about. If you think about how many sitcoms have been influenced by this show (Always Sunny, Modern Family, Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm for example). And how Malcolm practically started a trend of sitcoms filmed with single cameras and without a laugh track. As well as the down to earth, non-idealistic and realistic approach, I think it is probably the most influential sitcom of the 21st century, both technically and creatively.

this show messed me up so much as a child lol. I still have so much fondness for it, but eventually when I started understanding more of what was going on than I did when I was like, five, it became a much more complex experience. It went from just being a show that I saw as only comedic, to one that became extremely relatable and somewhat sad. Getting that more realistic look into life that show like, idk dora lol didn't give. Like, lois WAS my mom. And something about seeing this show that didn't have a certain happy ending was upsetting, but it watching the last episode really was more cathartic than anything in the way it allowed you to process that there wasn't some easy fix to all their problems.

love this show. My favorite character was Dewey (I'm the youngest myself). My favorite moments were when Lois apologized to Reese so genuinely and realized her faults and the final episode. Life IS unfair. She tells Malcolm to his face he will always keep fighting, because he has to, while basically spelling out her predictions for the kids including that she expects Dewey to leave the family and be successful on his own. My favorite aspect of the show was that the family cared about each other. As a kid who was neglected, abused, and had to get a job at 13 it was a ray of hope honestly. The message I got was that just cause people/families weren't the most functional doesn't mean they're bad and it is OK to keep trying to be better but also OK to be happy with what you have. Felt like a fat sign saying "everything is gonna be ok".

I think as 90s shows fizzled out and the internet was becoming a big thing, tv shows released at the beginning of the 2000s slipped under the radar (same kind of thing happened with Scrubs). It was also overshadowed by the 'big shows' of the mid-to-late 200s: The Office, Breaking Bad, etc. But it's a hidden gem, and thanks to reruns it's finally getting the kudos it deserves.

I know most people knew it from its Canal 5 run. But I fondly remember the day Fox latinoamerica first aired it back in late 2000 (it helped to forget the shock of Freaks & Geeks being canceled) its a huge part of most mexican adults nowadays because it was able for everybody and it was so relatable.

I didn't know about the viewer decline because this show was *HUGE* here in Mexico. There are still reruns of the show today, me and my family still watch it sometimes, and I don't know any person that hasn't watched at least a couple of episodes. It was very relatable for the typical mexican families.

I think the reason for that is that Dewey knew how to hide his talents and his interests to avoid unwanted attention. In stark contrast to Malcolm who while very intelligent knew not when to keep his opinions to himself.

This show was way ahead of its time. There's only a few sitcoms beforehand that really focused on poor disfunctional familes, getting by, and self inflicted anxiety in such a funny but relatable manner (and without a laugh track). It should have been a lot more popular than it was, the series finale was so under promoted compared to its contemporaries that I didn't even know it happened (and I was watching the show semi regularly) until after it aired and I saw it as a rerun.

I re-watched the show a couple years ago and while it is a bit quirky with how the brothers overreacted at certain situations, it was surprisingly endearing and the whole cast was great. Another show that I really enjoyed that kinda dealt with the working man trying to support his family was Grounded For Life though I will admit that the show kinda lost it's luster in its last season.
