Malcolm in the Middle - Reese's Apartment clip3

[@skillet9141]

One of the very few times I’ve seen Francis and Reese having a one on one. It’s nice seeing the 2 oldest brothers having a little chat.

[@sourdirewolf]

Skillet91 my heart 😭✨💖✨

[@butt5ful]

Reese always calls Francis when he has problems. Like when he stole the driver’s ed car and was being chased by the cops. And when he tested all those drugs.

375 a month apartment impossible to find if found posted up. that's 375 a month furniture appliances paid 375 a month no down deposit first month rent free, what alternate universe is this# I want to in

[@tommycastro9424]

its not impossible if the place he worked gives him reduce fee..although thats the only case

[@Kaboomboo]

Well he signed a two year lease which is unusually long so the rent was likely dramatically reduced and this appears to be a singles complex so it's likely in a less favorable part of town. And it's the early 2000s.

[@flatplant]

This is small town america before the financial crash.. lol

[@punkhop23]

he lives in a timeline where the baby boomers didnt butt fuck the economy

[@6TomCruz6]

Besides being a tv series this was set in the early 2000's where allot of things were cheap and gas was like less than $2 and I'm pretty sure they live in the inner United US I think far from the beach at least (from Dewey thinking the baby was talking to him) beside able to somehow finance a family of 4-6 I'm pretty sure they're can be a apartment for that much in that

[@sukamugen]

375 a month??? Jesus, there’s condos here in downtown Los Angeles for 3000 a month and you get to live across a homeless guy with a tent

[@DarkNova50]

You know it's a work of fiction when Reese can afford something larger than a closet with a week's salary.

[@erinv1232]

Well he makes a $12 bucks an hour and takes extra shifts.

[@oldrigenovy]

@@erinv1232 yeah? OK so he works let's say 10 hours a day, that's $120 a day if he works 5 days a week then... Oh well, you're right. Here In Mexico you'll be lucky to earn $120 a week

[@Kaboomboo]

Well his rent is only $375, so yeah if he makes $12.50 an hour and he probably works just under 30 hours a week, he could make up rent for an additional shift at work. 2 years is a long lease and he probably lives in a shady part of town since the complex seems to cater to single guys. Plus the apartment is pretty small. The stairs lead to just the bedroom most likely and as you see in the episode, the room is barely wide enough to accommodate a queen size bed. So yeah, it makes a little bit of sense.

[@tkatrich3]

I think in the US rent is per month which is a great deal.

[@69Macaquinho69]

@@oldrigenovy It’s relative, rent in mexico is a fraction of what the rent is in the US

[@Clawsome-Clips]

I think my wallet just wept in the background when he heard Reese's rent.

This is really weird considering they live in California. Isn't that state infamous for high taxes and rents?

[@marissamartinez843]

Canton Ohio. Doubt you'll wanna stay though lol

[@kerrygligorovic9758]

Reese is a lot happy living in the apartment by himself even his brother Malcolm and Dewey are happy for him except for their older brother Francis who tried to convince their parents to let Reese back in the house even he tried to claim that Reese is being miserable at the apartment which is not true at all.

[@ladyfire44]

I think the reason behind this was because of Hal and Lois's track records in kicking their children out. Francis pointed that out while confronting them. With his record being 28 to Reese's 10 and Malcolm's 6, it makes 44 kick outs with three different children and the only constant problem was Hal and Lois themselves. Francis did warn Dewey earlier that they may start doing this to him and Jamie one day.

[@somerandomeguyonyoutube]

only $375 a month fully furnished and utilities included?? in Los Angeles for $375 you can live in your car

[@adrianl.6306]

Bold of you to assume I even have a car to sleep in

[@anthonyleon7590]

0:42-1:07 Nice neighbor group you got there, Reese Teddy: Divorced Lou: Separated George: Wife's doing his best friend (Ex-best friend) By the way, I must say that I'm impressed he's able to live independently; apparently, he's more resourceful than I thought.

[@JoseGonzalez-hp9uy]

It's always funny when Malcolm tutors someone

[@ladyfire44]

His latest tutoring job happens to be Reese's bully who made his first appearance on season 4's Forbidden Girlfriend. His name is Ira Prescott and is the older brother to a young kid named Billy(who looked similar to Dewey).

[@spencer9093]

"I should have done this 6 months ago" 😂

[@sourdirewolf]

I will always love this family 😭✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨

[@treyoftriphorya]

This is when the backtrack to Francis character development started. I didn’t like that the writers worked so hard for him to have grown up for them to throw it away to make him just like Hal.

[@erinv1232]

Andy Duarte what do you mean “just like Hal”? How?

[@treyoftriphorya]

Darth Stalker ends up in a cubicle just like Hal and marries a woman who’s mom don’t accept or respect just like how Hal’s family doesn’t accept nor respect Lois. Also has a high pitched girlish scream when running in fear like Hal.

[@mohamadmahmoud6926]

Andy Duarte but it’s kind of fitting he ends up like Hal though. Also I like his wife

[@treyoftriphorya]

Mohamad Mahmoud but his development was realizing that his decision of going to Alaska was stupid and managing at the ranch was giving him funding and then being stupid enough to mail the taxes and bank payments into a non mail box bankrupting Otto. It made him look as stupid as Reese. Francis was just lazy not slow like Reese was, which was Hals fault when they reveal how each of them was affected during each of Lois Pregnancies. Francis matured then they backpedaled and made him live in the hood of which ever city he lived in at the moment trying to con his parents into co signing a 200 condo w fake alcoholism before he even turned 21.

[@ladyfire44]

Season 6 was the worst though because the producers had Francis lose his job and end up having to care for Ida, whom he hates with a passion.

[@nolagospeltracts8264]

Good to see that MITM is keeping up the sitcom traction of neighbors bursting into your apartment unannounced.

[@juliusbertsch1219]

Nice place Resse 😂😂.

[@kevinhoward9593]

idk what's worse. Reese stealing Hal's Credit card or whatever the hell he did at the beginning that started the process. There is no way in hell that place is $375 a month. He's insane. 2:14 "Describe yourself in one word" I think "braindead" comes to mind.

[@mohammedyakub3760]

why not? rent was cheaper back then and also in the UK you can get a 2 bedroom house with garden for £600 ($750)

[@jongon0848]

I'm pretty sure Reese has been getting sent credit cards and he's using those, they never mention him stealing Hal's they just get pissed he starts using credit cards and maxing them all out

[@namedidii]

It's like 2002 in the middle of nowhere american Southwest. it makes sense

[@lilnike2]

This was the 2000s so it makes sense why rent is like that

[@randomduck8679]

What he did at the beginning of the episode

[@adrianl.6306]

$375 A MONTH GET THE FUCK OUT WHERE IS THAT MAGICAL CITY

[@vitalityfox]

In a magical time period known as the early 2000s. Before the stock market crash, before the great recession and the foreclosures.
