Thumbs down Malcolm In The Middle and That 70s Show Cancelled

Malcolm & 70s show in last seasons
Quote:
"Malcolm in the Middle" and "That '70s Show" are definitely in their final season, network president Peter Liguori told the Television Critics Association Tuesday. "Arrested Development" probably is, too.
Quote:
"That '70s Show" had already planned this current one as its final season. Now "Malcolm" also has an end date: May 14. That will be the 150th "Malcolm" overall.

Liguori said he's not sure if "The Bernie Mac Show," which airs its 100th episode Feb. 3, will be back.
I loved Malcolm, watched it for 5 years, Bernie Mac and That 70s show were pretty good as well.

That 70's show stopped being funny after the second season. And when Grace and Kutcher left, that show wasnt worth anything.

Malcom stopped being funny after the first season.

Malcolm still has some funny plots, but I do agree that the current episodes are nowhere near as good as the earlier ones

I never really liked any of those shows. I personally think the only thing Malcom has going for it is the theme song. Unless they changed it...I don't know. I don't watch tv.

*wails* I read this at work earlier!!

To be honest, I quit watching Malcolm a few years ago.

But I ADORE that 70s show... and they FINALLY got rid of Kelso. Though I seriously didn't see it going past this year. I will miss it incredibly much.

Hell the fact that Kelso is gone makes the show 20 Times better.

Yeah, I hate Ashton Kutcher with a passion.

He almost ran me over once.

Man, what is it with our forum members and celebrities trying to run them over? First, Ben Affleck, now this?!

I can't say I'll mourn Malcolm in the Middle, That 70s Show or Bernie Mac. I always thought they were consistantly watchable (which is more than I can say about most other sitcoms) but I'd hardly ever seek them out.

Celebrities hate geeks. It's true, It's true.

What do you mean, Relevant? How was Malcom Revelant? I'm just curious as I never really watched Malcom that consistently, maybe a episode or two a year, if that.

I will miss that 70's Show though. Topher Grace needs to come back for the season finale. Seriously.

Raph was right! post #47

But back to topic:: Man it's ABOUT time. I loved That 70's show but it's just stupid and confusing now. Malcom...his fate is the fate of al childhood actors

Arrested Delevopment was annoying....

Someone once told me that I'm a card-carrying member of the intelligentsia and should venerate the lucid comical constructs of David Cross.

And I replied, "huh?"

Noooooooooo! 70'S show and Malcolm are 2 of the best shows I watch on fox.. This realy disappoints me. I already knew Arrested Development was getting cancelled. My dream of it getting canceled has come! Whoo!

It's dispointing that after al these years, shows are going off teh air! Well we can always relive them on dvd!

Malcom was an attempt to just try and see if live action comedies could adapt a style that would be both comedic and fast enough to garner the quick of the eye and the appreciation of the two to five second gag run of visual humour, combined with the kind of writing The Simpsons were renwoned for.

In short, cartoony, quick, and funny. It worked marveously, then they got a little stale, and shows like Scrubs, which owed a lot to Malcoms' example, just overtook it.

Hmmm, I guess I'm the only one so far who's dissappointed that Malcolm has been cancelled. I've never seen an episode that I didn't enjoy, so it's too bad there won't be any new ones. At least there's always reruns.
