I never realized how prominent Dewey was this season compared to the others. He always reminded me of a prototype for the youngest son on “The Middle.” Do you think you will analyze that sitcom here?
Hi, Miranda! Thanks for reading and commenting.
I haven’t decided yet about THE MIDDLE — we’ve got lots of shows to get through before then!
What are your thoughts on Malcolm’s Car? The main story with Malcolm isn’t the best, but the Hal and Craig subplots are enjoyable in my opinion.
Hi, Charlie! Thanks for reading and commenting.
I deliberately excluded it because I think it’s well below average. I enjoy Craig, but I find his stories to be subpar distractions that have little to do with the series’ situation (unless they’re more about the main cast than him, which this one isn’t), and while the Hal idea is appropriately jokey — like almost every Hal idea this season — there are funnier uses of him above. Also, it goes without saying, but the Malcolm A-story is incredibly generic and has nothing to do with his individual depiction. That’s a pretty big handicap.
Probably the weakest season even though there are still good episodes.
I’m really loving your blog by the way. “Seinfeld” is one of my favorites and I love your commentary!
