Odd and quirky…just how I like it.
I remember watching the series premier of ‘Malcom in the Middle’, years ago while I was studying for a history test. When it came on it only took the opening sequence to hook me…for life. There was something about that strange family that drew me in, I felt that deep down inside I was just like each and everyone of them.
Exuberant, spur of the moment and full of insane ideas like Hal.
Passionate, young and confident like Dewey.
Nurturing, controlling and a screamer like Lois.
Destructive, kind and creative like Reese.
Cool, honest and somewhat mature like Francis.
And a dorky genius like Malcom.
Somehow I found myself relating to each and everyone of them, in each epsode. As the years have passed I grew closer and closer to this family and found great amusement in watching thier zaney escapades. No other show has routinely made me laugh so hard and so loudly on a consistant basis.
I watch this show with eager enthusiasm even know when its all re-runs. I luckly have all epsodes taped for my own personal enjoyment and watch them when I need a good hearty laugh.
I’ve yet to meet another person who has such a love for this show and all of its characters. Theres really something great in thier imperfections and I found great pleasure in this show having run for 7 great seasons. I knew it couldnt last forever because boys do grow up but I know there will never be another show like ‘Malcom in the Middle’.
