Funny episode. Whenever Hal gets is own story it's a good thing.
I didn't care for the Malcolm part that much, a few of his lines were funny.
The Craig part was kind of creepy.

i havent seen this in so long i was curious what was going on in the show.
i saw that they are having another baby (which i hope is a girl, just think of the fun the writers could have). i love the show but am never home when it comes on.

I've only seen a couple of episodes. I watch Alias at that time and for the first half of the season taped Angel. Now that Angel is on Wednesday I'll probably start recording it. I saw it last week and it was pretty funny. I just watch it for Hal, he cracks me up.

I am still watching it. It will not be that hard to get back into it. They really do not have big running plotlines that will confuse you if you miss it. I like seeing Regan Dale Neis(Molly Sims from Maybe Its Me) as Malcolm's girlfriend.

Also with the new baby on the way, I really hope that they get a new house. Squeezing the three, sometimes four, boys in the one room was sometimes funny but adding a fifth child is just neglect.

show has definitly improved as of late - there is a bit of a grey area when francis starts finding work and a wife - wasn't really the funniest period. After that though, it's been all uphill - good stuff.

I watch it every week. It's great. The plot lines this season have been fantastic. I loved the fact that they brought back Cloris Leachman, who plays Lois' mother. I love her as the bitchy, mean grandmother.
The baby thing will add a different dimension. I first hated the angle they were taking Francis in with the dude ranch. But, I love the German owner guy. The episode where the whole family went there was too classic.

I love the show. Unfortunately, there is a client at the pet hospital where I work who talks just like Stevie. The only difference is Stevie is intelligent. This lady is just agonizingly slow, and appears to have trouble comprehending what people say if they speak faster than she does - which is pretty much everyone.
I.
Can't.
Stand.
Her.
I hope Lois has twins.
And I hope they bring back Dewey's Hamster.

I caught last week's episode, which was the first in quite some time and it was hilarious. Hal is getting quite a bit of screen time, which was great (the scene in the minivan almost made me split my side).
Should be interesting going forward with the new baby on the way
The closing scene was great with everyone leaving the house - Lois should provide many laughs with this pregnancy!

It is consistently funny, which is more than I can say for 95% of the other comedies on the air. I read a few months ago that the episode where Lois imagines she had all girls was inspired by an idea from one of the nieces of a writer, or a producer, or something. Anyway, I think that the niece was around 10 to 12 years old. The writers thought that it was a great idea, so they ran with it. Should be a good one...
My guess is that Lois ends up with a girl this time...

That was hilarious.
Fat Hal
Hal has to be one of the most underrated comedy characters on TV right now. Cranston is great as him. When he stole the bag the second time I was dying.
Lois's dream was great. In particular at the end when they all turn on her.
Malcolm knocking out Reese and then Dewey reenacting it with the toys was funny too.
