Started watching Malcolm in the Middle for the first time since I was 12, it’s insane how talented the child actors are

The fact the kids can hold so much entertaining dialogue by themselves is seriously impressive, even the supporting characters are great. Obviously Frankie Muniz had natural born NASCAR talent that helped him act, but it is honestly amazing now good they all are. I would really struggle to find another show with such predominant child actors that I could put up with for so long.

What a show! I tried it again for Brian Cranston, but I forgot how good the entire show was.

Edit: Sorry, it appears some tuned in Redditors caught me. I’m Bryan Cranston’s PA. This is Big Cranston at work to promote the reboot.
