Movie Mondays!

One of the best sitcoms in the last twenty years, Malcolm in the Middle was family entertainment and unquestionably funny. The show was one of the few successes of the genre in recent memory and went out of its way to skewer cliched portrayals of family life on television. Lois and Hal (the parents) are a very much in love couple who struggle to raise a herd of rebellious boys barely maintaining their sanity all the while. Frankie Muniz made a splash as the gifted Malcolm who serves as narrator and observer (breaking the fourth wall) for much of the first season. It’s a shame the rest of the series is unlikely to make it to DVD because of music clearance issues but this first season is proof of the series greatness as it hits the ground laugh out loud running and doesn’t give the viewer a chance to catch their breath. Family entertainment the whole family can enjoy and riotously funny!

I’m repurposing content by taking my NetFlix reviews and posting them here on the blog. If I could figure out a way to do it, I’d post some kind of link for people to connect and make me their friend on the service. Unfortunately, it isn’t altogether clear how one would do that - so if you know a way, pass it along. In the meantime, I’ve got steady content for at least a year.
