Apparently she was really pregnant, and couldn't work, so they sent her off to the aunt's house until she has the baby.

Very good episode.

The paintbal scenes were hilarious. Stevie rolling across firing the gun and then Dabney pelting the kid while he's twitching on the ground was great.

The Hal stuff was funny too.

The only problem I have are the Francis scenes. They've never been as funny as they were when he was in Military school.

Didn't really get into this episode. I am generally not a big Otto fan, so I didn't really like that plot, and the Hal one was dissapointing as well. I did like Dewey and Reese however, and the Malcolm story was decent as well.

Funny, because I feel the exact opposite way.

I like the Francis/Dude Ranch storyline quite a bit.
Kenneth Mars is great.......

Of all the characters, it's ironic that I find Malcolm the least likeable.

Malcolm In The Middle 05/11/2003

This is part one of the two part season finale. Not a bad episode at all, but I find that Malcolm consistently delivers a couple of good laughs per show.

Spoiler:
I really detest Cloris Leachman though, and any appearance by her usually detracts from any show, as it did this one. I liked how they had planned to get rid of her though

Pretty damn funny episode...I thought it was great to have all the wedding bands playing Celebration.

I have to disagree about Cloris Leachman though...she is a hoot.

at Hal running with Reese is that case.

It's weird watching Franics and Lois getting along.

I was hoping Hal would let Malcolm go to England. The show would be so much better without him. To bad he's the title character.

AGHHHH TO BE CONTINUED! AGHHHH

I swear i didnt think that was going to happen. AGHHHH.

Malcom is the show dude. Hes the sane in the insanity, so to speak.

I dig how francis is like sticking up for people, like in last weeks where he was defending his bros with the druggie take over.

Man, I love this show.

Chloris Leachman is great as Lois' mother. Too bad George Kennedy died, he was good as her husband.

Next weeks episode looks great from the preview.

George Kennedy isn't dead. And even if he was, it wouldn't change the fact that Robert Loggia portrayed the character of Lois' father Victor.

My mistake times two. When she was placing a picture of Victor on the shelf of him, I could've swore it looked like George Kennedy. That's why I thought that. I bow down to your all might Malcom in the Middle trivia knowledge.

Francis is visiting to help out during the birth of the baby. It was explained at the beginning of the episode.

I am fully expecting the baby to be a boy, just because everyone is assuming that is will be a girl.

Similar to Chandler Bing (before he went to advertising), it's never been stated. Some sort of generic office job.

The scenes with the 'neighbors' had me near tears. That was one of the funniest things I've seen lately.

Dewey is a genius. It is now the second time where he was able to get a group of people to do things exactly like he wanted to be. Much much smarter than that whinning Malcolm.....
