I hated that ending because it seemed to be saying “You will never get to do what you want, and you must follow the life plan that I, your horribly abusive mother have set for you” and Malcolm just takes it.

Seriously, that whole show was an endless parade of emotional and physical child abuse. I dunno how people like it.

This post is in Wikipedia under the category, "Incorrect Assessments Of Malcolm In The Middle".

At one point there's a lesbian sex scene that they got past network censors by turning it into an abstract kaleidoscope.

It's the greatest scene in television history.

Here's my The Party story.

I am half Indian. So one day when I was about 6 or 7, we were round at my Aunt Kalyani's place for a dinner. This was after dinner so dessert was being served. She was serving home made Gulab Jamun. Which is quite literally the food of the gods. I will fight anyone who disagrees!

Anyways, there is a famous scene in the film where Peter Sellers is reading the brand name of the bird seed into a microphone in his in no way racist or offensive accent. "Birdy Num Num. Birdy Num Num." He adds to his, in no way racist performance by throwing some head wiggles as well.

Little kid me thought that was hilarious, and if the funny man on the screen could call bird food Birdy Num Num, then I could call Gulab Jamum "Ball Num Num". My entire family thought this was hilarious and cute and adorable, (which of course I was and still am). The problem arises is that now, more than 30 years later, anytime I see anyone from that side of the family, they ask me if I want some Ball Num Num.

Which of course I do, coz that poo poo is delicious.

Thank you for allowing me to share this indulgent and irrellevant story.

tbh "Ball Num Num" is a way more accurate name, really.

I broke my collarbone while using playground equipment two different times in elementary school. To be somewhat fair I was and am an enormous klutz. I also remember another kid falling off the monkey bars and breaking his wrist. It all sounds completely insane in retrospect.

The two best episodes of the X Files (and a couple other good ones) were written by the guy who wore the Flukeman costume. That's not really relevant to the thread, I just think it's funny.

The Beyond Belief story that I remember was the one where a girl swallowed a jellyfish egg at the beach, which grew insider her, making her appear to be pregnant. Was it a true story, or am I telling you a fish tale? I'll reveal the answer next post.

As far as most insane reality show, it’s a toss-up between Who Wants to be a Superhero?, which was at least fun to watch, and Mad Mad House, which... wasn’t.

I went to high school with Monkey Woman. It was both incredibly surreal and completely unsurprising to see her pop up on the show, particularly as that character. She was not only a Drama Kid but also a Choir Kid and was the living epitome of both tropes.

Really the past 20-25 years in Western cuisine have been spent digging us out of the hole created by the previous 50; echoes of the Depression followed by post-war recovery did a hell of a number on our parents and grandparents' tastes, I think.
