Hal fixing a lightbulb (Malcolm in the Middle S03E06)
I Cast FistExpensive and tastes awful. Fresh orange juice is infinitely better
lokalhorstAlso not neon orange
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?
The jug in the picture looks like a Minute Maid jug from the time, which would probably be a from concentrate concoction. I think you may be thinking of Sunny D which is a much brighter yellow color and is essentially an orange colored sugar drink. Fresh is sold here under brands like Simply.

I think Marianas oranges taste the best, but submarine harvesting makes them prohibitively expensive.

SigntistFun fact: the British Navy used to keep lime trees on board which is why British people are called limeys.
Yeah nab, 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
Schmoo
samus12345Not a real continent
LenaCitrus fruits have been grown as far north as the UK for 100s of years and climate change is making that even easier.
Athens is a greek myth made up to sell more athena plushies
why have you put me on the first map? I don’t like orange juice
rustydrdHmm, I don’t know. I’m gonna need a non-Mercator version to make up my mind about this.
Real projections: mercator, globe
Mental illnesses: all the others
Missing the Mediterranean climates in California, Spain, Italy, Greece etc. and Australia, but otherwise accurate
South Africa too
Anarch157aFalse. It exludes Brazil, which produces 60%9f the worlds orange juice, 90% 9f it in the state of São Paulo, which is crosse by the Tropic of Capricorn.
potoooooooo 🥔Oh, shit, got 'em.
False. Brazil Beats Battlejuice Spectacular
It’s missing Mediterranean countries, Spain is quite full of orange trees too
I’ve only seen bits and pieces of the show but I liked them. Is MitM still good in 2026?
I’d say so. If you don’t like the first few episodes, you probably won’t like the rest.
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. Don’t let it spoils a damn funny show.
M0oP0oEhh, her character always pissed me off even back in the day. She was I think meant to though.
I can’t speak for all, but I like her more as an adult. I can see her perspective better, and just how much she does and puts up with from her family (including her husband.) It absolutely all went over my head when I saw the show when I was a kid/teen (I was pretty much the same age as Malcolm throughout its original run), so it’s been enlightening to see the show again and understand the characters more deeply.
I assumed the same, but I saw an episode a few years ago when stuck in a hotel and I still hated her character. Does not help that a lot of the story lines have their basis on a character doing something unknowing that it will cause the issue the story then has to solve, and then having her more then other characters fill the part of making things bad or worse.
I never thought her character was “bad” or “evil” and the actress did a great job most of the time. I just found her character insufferable most of the time. Actually most of the characters have points where they are insufferable, and that might in retrospect be why the show holds up.
I get that. As an adult I can better understand the context surrounding Lois and why she is as she is. Her parents were absolutely the worst. Her mother, Ida, was a monster, in fact I think Lois could’ve felt right at home in a “Raised by Narcissists” community. She was always compared to her “Golden Child” sister, Susan, and her mother’s flighty attachments to her kids and grandkids is seen in some episodes. In one episode, Ida goes to visit Lois after having some petty fight with Susan and declared that she was no longer her favorite. In another, it’s revealed that Ida hates Francis because when he was put on the phone as a toddler, he called his grandmother “poopy.”
It’s honestly amazing that Lois was able to grow up with her self-confidence and desire for “doing the right thing” intact. Her parents sucked and she somehow came out of it all still trying her best. She never had a role model for what being a good parent looked like, and though I agree she’s gone overboard when it comes to handling her kids, at least she’s trying to break the cycle of neglect and abuse she came from. She’s far from the best mother, but with acknowledging all the circumstances around her, I can better understand where she’s coming from.
Oh she makes sense as written, not going to deny that, at the same time I don’t have to like her character.
I guess my take away is that its a big deal whenever she is not aggressively nasty. She is a pivotal character, but not one I could like.
Totally fair. Don’t mind me, I’m not trying to change anyone’s opinions, I just like analyzing my favorite shows sometimes.
djdarrenIt 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.

As ever, Hal is the best thing in it, but it’s a pretty high bar.
RememberTheApollo_It’s expensive because urbanization, climate change, and citrus greening disease. We’re getting rid of farmland with sprawl, climate change is worsening storms and cold snaps that damage crops, and citrus greening disease is slowly killing the survivors.

I haven’t been able to afford orange juice in like a year and a half.
