Was Louis a bad parent?
>>
>>214402561
bad person who happens to be a parent

I don't know how you all watched this show way back when. That Mom was so overbearing that friends and I couldn't watch it.
>>
>>214402613
There were a lot fewer homosexuals back then

>>214402561
Her name is Lois
>>
>>214402636
Was Lois a bad parent?
>>
>>214402613
I think if your mom was similar to Lois, you hated the character
>>
The only child that was a perpetual fuckup was Francis. The rest of them all had talents, and Dewey and Malcolm were genius level IQs
>>
"Lois" is one of those names that trip up ESLs every fucking time.

yeah, but she tried, and that alone would put in the top 1% of parents nowadays.

Watching this as an adult with kids is really interesting. Francis was a decent actor with very mediocre stories that I rarely enjoyed, but the character backstory is really good. They gloss over Francis getting sent to military school and make it a joke, but in the first episode they explain he burned down their garage, constantly got arrested by police and was constantly skipping or getting in trouble at school. Each time he also had an excuse for the behavior and blamed everyone else. Now add to that they’re a middle class family both working and dealing with 4 boys who are absolute terrors and there was really nothing they could do besides just let him fuck off and figure things out on his own, which eventually happened anyway. Then to make it even worse, his brothers adored him and hated the parents because they were too young to realize he was actually the fuckup and their best shot was to learn from every one of his mistakes. It was probably beyond frustrating to see him getting cornholed and BTFO his whole life and then him gloating and teaching his brothers how to “succeed” like he had been and watching them fuck their own lives up in smaller ways. Then even even worse, when he gets emancipated and fucks off, he comes back home just to beg for money and blame his parents, perpetually, forever.

And from someone with actual bad parents, no, Louis was not a bad parent. She always supported Hal and vice versa, she punished the kids hard, but when someone fucked with them, she came down even harder which the kids appreciated, she would sometimes try to be better about her temper, but then Hal and the kids would royally fuck up the house or the neighborhood or her job specifically and she go into a screaming rampage. Completely justified. I think when we watched it, we just wanted a MILF to edge to for 30 mins and we’re upset we didn’t get it.

I always interpreted the ending as Lois trying to humble Malcolm by making him work for education

There's two visual gags that always stuck with me about this show, besides the Hal fixing shit one that is always posted. The episode where Stevie is riding that downhill sled thing and he catches air, and it cuts to a shot of someone raking a giant pile of leaves in their yard, and Stevie smashes into the tree in the background of the shot. Also, the one where the boys have fireworks and they light off this mega one and when it goes off it cuts to a day time shot of the same location, and then back to a night time shot. Just brilliant stuff. Really fantastic show for the most part.

if anything, the main point of the show is how education is important and was a cautinary tail on why milenials are going to grow up retarded and fucked by the system even before social media

I found it basically impossible to find 4x3 rips of the show. Only ever got season 1 and it was in Russian.
>>
>>214402561
I feel like Lois would be the type to beat her kids all the time but they probably couldn't show that on TV too much without people complaining
>>
>>214404024
the uncomfortable truth is that kids need to be disciplined with a belt
>>
>>214404017
It use to be easy because thats all that existed, but since 720p and 1080p came out all the old DVD torrents died. The issue with 720p and 1080p copies off streaming sites is that some episodes or either missing or edited. Very annoying.

You have no idea what being a parent is like. No one is prepared. Batman couldn’t prep enough to be a good one. Sure it’s a bad idea to just have 11 kids with no house and future and no settled arrangement with a partner and no money, but the skill cap is infinite. You prep for so long and read books and take tips and write notes and save money and then you have a baby and ask the Dr. or Nurse what to do for something you’ve seen on TV a thousand times (crying, irrational behavior, poor health, odd color stool) and they look at you like you asked what their cure for your terminal cancer is. Every single parent is alone on an island with other people only there to tell them not to kill themselves or their kids, but no one can help. In fact the strongest bonding moments with your kids are when you’re alone on the ground crumpled in a ball crying emotionally and physically exhausted and they fall asleep after scream crying for 3 days straight and you just watch them sleep in awe feeling better than beating an impossible Dark Souls boss. You then realize laying on the ground in a ball comforts them for no damn reason and now you’re “a good parent”. Then a friend has a child scream crying for 3 days straight and they ask you for advice and you go “Uhhhhh…” and you know telling them to get in a fetal position is probably not going to work for their situation...but it’s all you have. That’s parenting.
>>
>>214405521
My big advice anon is stop blaming your parents. At some point you can evolve past them and if you focus on overcoming the obstacles they put in your way instead of blaming them for your failures, you can get past being a bum. You may not become Elon Musk, but being mediocre is better than being a bum and being a bum is better than being dead and being dead is better than being a tranny.
>>
>>214405822
Thanks for those words but it's too late for me. My only way out is die lonely at 60 or out of sickness that I wont have money to cure

this show thought me that the core to every successful and good romantic relationship is sex and having high attraction to your partner. if your not fucking like rabbits till you die it wasn’t ment to be, nothing else matters

They did an awful job with Francis, he was the most destructive boy by far, dropped out of high school and they had to send him to military school. Reese was a less bad version of Francis, and did eventually finish highschool without being sent away. Malcom is mostly just a smug annoying shithead, and Dewey is just a bit autistic. They improved with every child, and everyone turned out ok in the end

Malcolm in the Middle mogs any other family sitcom I've ever seen. The cast has so many great characters with great child actors, it's just shot so well for a sitcom. Single camera, shot in an actual house, with so many little details and visual gag. I think it's aged remarkably well.
>>
>>214406466
Of course I do
I went to highschool in 1999
Every single fucking girl was cute, pretty, smoking hot or fuckable at least.
