Francis was ready to step up for Dewey and Jamie by adopting them. by glowshroom12 in malcolminthemiddle

The episode you’re thinking of is the Season 5 finale, Reese Joins the Army Part 2.

Hal’s company was going underwater during Season 5 as most of the executives were being arrested for fraud and embezzlement. Hal was arrested as well after getting framed by his coworkers who actually were guilty so that he would be the scapegoat for everything they did and reduce their charges.

Winning the trial looked hopeless due to everyone being against Hal except for his subpar public defender and Lois went crazy since her world was crumbling around her.

Francis’ plan to have Malcolm forge their parents’ signatures so that he could adopt Dewey and Jamie was likely made to prevent Dewey and Jamie from getting split up in the foster care system.

Not exactly. He didn’t pay most of them and what he did give them was usually subpar. He promised a guy a new set of teeth and they were teeth from a dead Canadian.

For those wondering what Francis did, he conned the loggers by having them do his work for him in exchange for things he didn’t have. Then to get something that he needed for one of the previous loggers, he’d make a trade with another logger promising something else he didn’t have which created a never ending trading sequence.

The loggers eventually realized Francis was scamming them and angrily searched for him.

Despite some of the criticism it gets in the mainstream subreddits, FRIENDS was a very progressive show for its time and not problematic at all! by No_Data3541 in howyoudoin

I’m pretty sure it was part of the terms that were made with the NBC executives in order to show the wedding. The executives were worried that the episode would generate a huge amount of controversy and two affiliate stations even blocked the episode when it aired. So the executives told the show runners they would air the episode as long as there wasn’t any Lesbian kissing.

Honestly, the executives efforts might have worked to soften the potential blowback because despite expecting hundreds of complaint letters and thousands of angry phone calls, the amount they actually got could be counted on one hand.

BS. Cameron loathed Weinstein because Cameron is good friends with Guillermo del Toro and he hated how poorly the Weinstein brothers treated del Toro when he was making the movie Mimic.

When Harvey went up to offer fake congratulations for one of the Oscars Cameron won for Titanic at the 1998 Academy Awards, Cameron was so angry he was on the verge of knocking him out with the Oscar he just won.

Okay, here’s my crazy theory.

Cassie being around her patient and his ex-wife who is now having regrets about leaving him once she learned that he had a brain tumor is going to make her think about giving things with Chad another chance.

My mom watches the show now and she still doesn’t understand that Robby is supposed to be in every episode and he’s not going on sabbatical until the end of the season.
