    On one hand, Malcolm has every right to never talk with his family again. But that’s always been in character that he’s the cause of his own problems, so we’ll see how it goes for him.

    Hulu (or Disney, I suppose) are really chasing that nostalgia money right now, huh?

      Honestly I’m struggling to find a time in my life when Disney wasn’t pushing nostalgia. I grew up with the “Disney vault”.

        Disney literally started feature length animation 100 years ago to capture and represent fairy tales in a modern context. That’s kinda baked in.

          I was reading about The Sword in the Stone and before it was produced, Roy Disney told Walt to stop making new animated movies because they could just re-release the old ones instead.

            Prior to home video it was done a lot. It's why Gone with the Wind's box office record was untouchable for so long, it was put into theaters several times over several decades.

      I think (hope) this one is different than most nostalgia-bait. It sounds like Bryan Cranston spent years trying to make this happen. Linwood Boomer, the show's creator, agreed to do it on the condition that a few specific writers from the original show would also return. The entire original cast is also returning (save for Erik Per Sullivan), and it's a limited run of four episodes.
      I'm biased because I love Malcolm in the Middle, but I'm really excited for this one and I'm normally very NOT excited about reboots.
