Honestly, Season 8 is such a rough ending, and them bringing back one of the show’s original head writers. I say bring it on. If they manage to pull it off and give Dexter a satisfying send-off. That’s sound by me, and if they fail, who cares? The show’s legacy had already been somewhat tainted. I don’t have an issue with them bringing back that shows that had a disappointing ending.

It’s tough. Based on this season, Linney. But the overall show, i’d go with Garner. But since it’s just for the latest season, i’ll go with Linney. She blew me away in those last few episodes.

I’m currently halfway through season 2 on my re-watch after 10-14 years. I would have been like 10-12 when I last watched this show, it’s much harder to get access to in the UK. Dewey is such a scene stealer, in the episode with the attractive babysitter, he had me in stitches.

The only shame with Malcolm in the Middle is how so many great supporting characters come and go. But I guess the idea is that it’s life and people just pop i and out of your lives. In Francis’ storylines, I miss Stanley. He was great in Season 1. Also, the kids are so well cast in this show, they make casting child actors look easy. Even the classmates like the Krelboynes are great.

Interesting timing this thread being revived, just started bingeing Malcolm in the Middle again last night, almost finished Season 1. Haven’t seen it since I was like 10 and man do I miss this show. It’s just as great as I remember, it’s similar to the Simpsons in the sense that the whole family could watch it, didn’t matter if you were 8 or 38, everyone in my family loved it.

Kaczmarek and Cranston are even better in this than I remembered. How they never won an Emmy for their roles here, i’ll never understand. At least Cranston got his due with Breaking Bad.

I loved Season 3, I thought the balance between comedy and drama was much stronger and I really grew to love the characters, especially Joel, who has come a long way since Season 1.

The drama elements of the show never truly clicked with me in seasons 1 and 2 but this time round, I was gripped and I still find myself thinking about that season 3 finale.

So glad to see this is coming back. Hopefully it can make an awards bounce back given the fact that a lot of major emmy shows will likely be skipping a year. But also, I just really enjoy the show, have grown to love the characters and can’t wait to see them back on my tv screen.

I was really rooting for The Good Place or What We Do in the Shadows there but admittedly I still haven’t seen Schitt’s Creek. Man that looks like a mistake. I really didn’t think we’d see a sweep like this coming

That’s a shame it didn’t work for you. I thought it was great, especially re-using footage from previous ceremonies and Jimmy Kimmell having them give him a standing ovation

So, just finished Mythic Quest and the Quarantine episode is brillant. I researched and in the last couple of weeks some vehicles like Variety, IndieWire, WSJ, Hollywood Reporter, Uproxx, iMore and Vulture made articles/interviews about this single episode. Also, this episode was mentioned in a few slugfests. Do you think it might surprise in Directing/Writing or am I crazy?

God I hope so, I’ve been trying to avoid stanning this show too much since not many people are vocal about it on this site but man I really hope Mythic Quest picks up a nom or two. The show has a rocky first few episodes but when it finds its feet, it’s wonderful and this is definitely one of the standouts.

Ah ok. But then how did SAG shut it out the following year?

Because they’re fools. Nah, it is fascinating though. I do wonder what SAG would look like if they split lead and Supporting performances for tv like every other award show. Surely they would have nominated Goggins and Martindale that year.

I know this is the wrong place to put this but I was wondering how did Justified get nominated for 4 acting Emmys in 2011 despite getting shut out at SAG and failing to get a Series nomination?

I don’t know but i’m glad it did. Love the show and it deserved so many more nominations than that. Binged it during lockdown, it’s soooooo good.

Reminder that Guest2018 being annoying doesn’t take away the fact that the Good Place finale is one of the most acclaimed TV episode of the past season

Agreed, wonderful finale, it’s my personal pick for Outstanding Writing and Danson for Lead Actor, although I will caveat that with the fact I haven’t seen Schitt’s Creek yet. So it could easily change.
