It's really unbelievable what quality some old series could have when you consider that they were filmed on film.
So far we have S07 in HD 16:9 (Englisch+French) and S01-S03 in 380p 16:9 (german DVD RIPs, but no english language). S04-S06 seem to be available in 380p 16:9 in France, but nobody has ripped that yet and many can't order something from France.

i have dvd rips for all eps English 720x480 16:9
Please support the companies who have invested a lot of effort, time and money into releasing the DVDs, if you can!
All of them are true devotees of cult series and niche products, and their attempts aren't exactly helped when people immediately start ripping the DVDs and sharing them for free.
In the case of the French DVDs, they were even ripped before their official release dates, which I believe is a shame. We know from our British, French and German partners how hard it is to even sell enough DVDs or Blu-rays to break even, let alone make enough money to work on new releases.
The more stuff is ripped and shared online for free, the less the original producers and international distributors will be inclined to put out high-quality releases with worthwhile extras, like dubbed dialogue, subtitles for the hearing-impaired and in other languages, commentary tracks, interviews and making ofs.
The format is largely irrelevant here. I know physical media like DVDs appear to be on the way out, but a fully restored official HD download with a number of audio and subtitle options also requires quite a lot of effort.
Best,

So Malcolm in the Middle HD is coming to Comedy Central UK. Would it be possible for someone to record all the eps in HD, still longing for a Malcolm HD Collection!
Based on my research on Netflix HD http://www.malcolminthemiddle.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?6921-MitM-Netflix-update
They may actually be new HD 'masters' and not upscaled.
cool i hope somebody here can download them off netflix and upload them
Sadly I don't believe it's that easy to rip content from netflix at full quality. At least I can't find a simple option.

It's not easy, but the TVS group is starting this project. S01E01 is already up both in 720p and in 1080p. Rest of the episodes will be done later.
I won't give you a link, but the release name is Malcolm.Mittendrin.S01E01.Malcolm.der.Held.German.DD20.Dubbed.DL.1080p.NetflixHD.x264-TVS.
Thanks! It's great to see a group getting onto it, but its seems like TVS are a german group focusing on the dubbed version, so we still need somebody to pick up the english version.
I'm not sure on the audio quality of netflix? If the audio is not improved over DVD then I guess it would be possible to combine them - however that is a lot of effort.
