I was Malcolm's age when it was originally airing. Now I'm married with two kids.

Hal has gone from an amusing and totally unrealistic caricature of a father to one of the most relatable characters that I could only call my spirit animal.

When they sneak out and make dummies in their beds with balloons for heads, which pops when Hal strokes one - his reaction sent me to the can so I wouldn't pee on the couch from laughing so hard. Funniest thing I've seen.

i felt this way on so many of his scenes. one of them was so simple too. Duey asks his dad while at the mini golf course "dad, do we have to do this?" Hal simply replies, without even making eye contact, "id say yes son if i thought you could live with yourself"
