Here is a topic I dont see was talked about in depth before. What show(s) do you think come closest to replacing or copying Malcolm now that it is no longer filming.
I think the closest one is "Scrubs". It copies Malcolm's style I think more then any other show. Single camera, no laugh track, characters talking to the camera or you can hear thier thoughts, quick scene changes, fast pace, background music and fantasy sequences. The problem I have with this show is it just isnt that funny. It seems to go for silly juvenille humor way more then Malcolm did. Despite that Malcolm is about a family and kids and Scrubs is about adults at work, I consider Scrubs a much more childish show.
Then there is Everybody hates Chris. A low confidence kid narrates his troubles to the audience. Malcolm rip-off? Not funny.
