I haven't seen one of the brothers since Scary Movie 2 and do the other 2 even still act?

 

[Sybrix]

Sounds like its only Malcolm, Hal and Lois.

When was the last time Muniz acted? Has he gotten back into the game recently?

I liked MitM at the time, not sure about this one.

When was the last time Muniz acted?

No idea but his name is mentioned. I just googled Justin Berfield and he's not even done anything behind the camera since 2012

there has to be a new sibling too, Lois was pregnant again in the final episode Jamie also would now be 18 years old or something, with the new baby from the last episode now being around 15~16 right?

they need to drastically change the concept for these new episodes, because the original format wouldn't even remotely work.

Muniz actually was in some movies and tv shows here and there throughout the years. but he also does Motorsport now, so his acting career was basically just a side thing for him.

I adored this show growing up. The dynamics, actors and scenarios were all just perfect.

With this I expect the worst, hope for the best.

Two jokes I will never forget from Malcolm in the Middle...

The dad and his kids buy some illegal firework, set it off at night, and they flip the scene to a daytime shot for like 3 full seconds to illustrate how bright and powerful it was.

Then Malcolm shares a popsicle with Reese and Reese gets suspicious ("Why did you give me the bigger one?") because he doesn't understand how things appear bigger based on perspective.

That show had some great bits.

 

[Skyfox]

Muniz ran out of racing car petrol money?

Never bought his bs excuse that he got brain damaged and lost his memories of doin the tv show

He never said that. It was something that the media got wrong or just made up. He talked about it on Steve-Os Podcast.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Will be shit and wank.

More creatively bankrupt cash grabs from Disney.

It's ok. Malcom can still be in the middle.

 

[Joramun]

Disney + Cranston = guaranteed woke pandering.

 

[Trilobit]

Wasn't Malcolm supposed to become the president or something? I remember one episode bringing that up.

 

[thefool]

Loved this show but there's really no need for more of it. It reminds me of Deadwood.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

This shows legacy is about to be tarnished.

 

[Ridicululzz]

Yeah, not sure this show really needed a revival or anything. I thought it ended pretty well.

Also, is it only going to be three returning actors?

 

[Fbh]

Loved this show growing up but there's a zero % chance they don't fuck it up

 

[Daneel Elijah]

If they got Cranston I think that there is some potential. If we get one or 2 great moments for memes it will be worth it.

The show is full of great and memorable gags. One of my favorites is:
