Question: I've been curious about the new Fox sitcom
The War at Home, with
Michael Rapaport. My hope is that it will be the type of irreverent family sitcom that
Malcolm in the Middle used to be. Have you seen it yet? Will it be like the early
Malcolm seasons, or merely another
Quintuplets?
Answer: Closer to the latter, although my faint memory of
Quintuplets was of negligible mediocrity while
The War at Home is actively, gratingly annoying. Classic
Malcolm may have been manic, but there were so many appealing characters and actors on that show.
War at Home lacks any charm whatsoever. It seems to me that it's aiming more for a
Married... with Children tone, anyway, . If you're looking for a new
Malcolm, check out UPN's
Everybody Hates Chris. That's the real deal.
