The open of Hal trying to fix a lightbulb lives in my head. ADHD is real.

Yes. I rewatched it recently and it’s still spot on.

Except that one line in that one episode where Lois yells at the boys, “Are you Aborigines?!” Which is… gross. The way she says it is hard to make out - I had no idea what she was saying when I first watched it. But it’s especially odd because it doesn’t match with the rest of her character to use ethnic terms as insults. Thankfully, that’s the only questionable “joke” I can recall in the whole series. Best not let it spoil a damn funny show.

I'd say so. If you don't like the first few episodes, you probably won't like the rest.

It is still good, so much so that they just put out a reunion special mini series last month which is well worth your time if you enjoyed the original run.

Malcolm In The Middle: Life's Still Unfair

As ever, Hal is the best thing in it, but it's a pretty high bar.

Fun fact: the fruit was named before the color.

(After discovering carrots) "Oh fuck."

Or: "Purples." I think the orange color is pretty recent.

More people in the ocean than I expected. I guess they would like oranges more though.

Yeah nah, oranges are easily grown in Australia.

Going to plant an orange tree in my backyard this year.

Then I’ll have oranges, apples, lemons, peaches, cherries and figs

False. It exludes Brazil, which produces 60% of the worlds orange juice, 90% 9f it in the state of São Paulo, which is crosse by the Tropic of Capricorn.

I was just in Athens and many streets were filled with orange trees

Hmm, I don't know. I'm gonna need a non-Mercator version to make up my mind about this.

Missing the Mediterranean climates in California, Spain, Italy, Greece etc. and Australia, but otherwise accurate

why have you put me on the first map? I don't like orange juice

Citrus fruits have been grown as far north as the UK for 100s of years and climate change is making that even easier.

Brazil has a ton of orange production tho

It's missing Mediterranean countries, Spain is quite full of orange trees too

Yep, you basically can't grow oranges in Florida anymore, or most citrus really. Every tree I planted ended up getting the blight. Only my potted lime tree that I kept in a screened area did OK and produced fruit.

Whatever is in the picture doesn't even look like cheap OJ from concentrate. Isn't it just a corn syrup solution with orange colouring, like your version of Fanta?
