Really looking forward to this show!


Looks like it will be possibly be similar to Malcolm in the Middle, but that's okay. Used to love that show, too. Can't wait to see Nicolas acting, I've seen in commercials, but have not seen him act yet. I think this will be a good one, and will definitely be watching the premiere.

I'm looking forward to it too,I've seen Kayla Maisonet on Dog with a Blog;she's playing a different character here and the show looks promising.

Definitely liked the series premiere better than the sneak preview episode. Both were funny, but the birthday one was the funniest of the two. I think this show will catch on.

I think the pilot was a little better than last Friday's but I agree SITM will catch on.

agreed! i still enjoyed both episodes though.

To the OP, other than the title, this show is nothing like Malcolm in the Middle. MIM was about a dysfunctional family whose middle child is revealed to be a genius in the pilot episode. The mother was overbearing and controlling while the father was child-like and simple. The older brother (Francis) was sent away to military school for being out of control. The second oldest brother (Reese) was a jerk.

This show seems a bit more grounded. The mother is nothing like Lois. She seems a little harried, but that's because the total number of kids. The father is much more grounded.
