8. Malcolm In the Middle

Mon Oct 28, 2013, 12:21 PM

Oct 2013

Just goes to prove that Bryan Cranston is an acting genius. Often after watching Breaking Bad, I'd go back and watch an episode of MITM, just to get back to my happy place. My favorite is the one where Hal teaches Malcolm how to roller skate. I also loved the Dewey character, and the episode where Bea Arthur babysits him is hilarious!
