Does anyone watch this US comedy? I think it's a minor cult classic - for the life of me, I can't understand why it's never caught on over here. Hardly anyone I talk to has heard of it. I'm now on a mission to spread the news.
It's approaching it's sell-by date now I think - the kids in the series are now young adults - only Dewy still has the aw-bless-im factor, but there are some brilliant episodes in earlier series. Reminds me so much of my childhood with four brothers.
I like Malcolm in the Middle its a secret gem that BBC2 has.

Didn't watch Malcolm when it started. I jumped on board around season 3 when I caught a few episodes on Sky. Now I have backtracked and seen them all. A great show!

It has caught on. My kids love it and never miss an episode.
I think it's one of those programmes that mums and dads can watch and get as much out of it as kids.
Perhaps it's the time it's scheduled? Wherever I work no-one has heard of it. It's in the awkward slot between kids' tv and the adults' stuff.

I must admit I've not appreciated as much as I think I should.
Every episode I've seen has had me cracking up.
The last one I saw was one where malcolms class got transferred to the local high school and each of the kids became the ringleader of a different subculture. I'm dying to see it again, it had me in stitches.

Let's Face It,The BBC Have A Good Record Of Importing Top US Comedy Shows And Airing Them In Completely The Wrong Time Slots.
Seinfeld,A Massive Smash Hit State-Side Gets Bunged On At The Graveyard Slot Of 11:20pm After Newsnight.Why Even Bother.:loopy:
But Then Again,The Great British Public DO Wanted To Watch Endless Repeats Of Dad's Army,Porridge,The Good Life,Some Mother's Do 'Av Em......zzzzzzzzzzzz.
As For Malcolm-Great Stuff,Watched It From The Start.

Love it! Kind of disappointing that only series 1 is available on DVD, and then only in Region 1. Wish they'd hurry up and release the rest.
It's fooking great, I love seeing the early episodes when the boys look so young, aww.
