Why college.

8.5

The episode was okay with Hal being a college tramp and Dewey being a nosey little rat. Of course, the show also had a few things I didn't like at all. First, I liked the writing in this one. The college bit was very entertaining and seeing Hal completely lose himself was funny to watch. Watching Dewey try to help Francis was also very funny. But if I were Dewey I wouldn't waste my time on a whining brat like him. Francis wants to fail, I don't see any other way about it. Overall, a good episode. But leave out Francis. Thank you.moreless

I liked it a lot!

9.0

By VGFreak8, Apr 19, 2008

Reese is living in the garage with his new wife. She is cheating on him, but he's too dumb to realize it. Malcolm is annoyed by college recruiters. They call him all the time. Hal likes them because they give free stuff away because they want Malcolm so bad. Lois tries to help Reese. Dewey visits Francis. His life is pathetic, so Dewey helps him get a job. Hal starts planning dates with the college representatives and stuff. Malcolm decides to go to Harvard.

This was a pretty good episode! I felt sorry for Reese that his wife was cheating on him. It was hilarious with Hal and the college recruiters. It was like a relationship with all of them and he was cheating when he called another college. I loved seeing Francis again! I recognized Rheagan Wallace, who guest starred in 7th Heaven a few times. This episode gets a 9.0 out of 10!moreless

Interesting but not as funny as I thought.

8.0

By sluggmunki_tx, Jan 30, 2006

After I watched this episode, I kind of felt this feeling that they should of ended the series a while back. There really wasn't that many funny lines but it was interesting since we found out that Francis does get a job and Malcolm will head to Harvard. The Reese part was shocking when we found out that his wife was cheating on him which ended the marriage. Maybe Reese will have some luck someday.moreless

- Hal: Another college recruiter? When I was applying, believe me, there were no recruiters. If I hadn't found that ad inside that matchbook, I may never have pursued higher education!
  EDIT SHARE
- Reese: For your information, marriage isn't just about sex. It's about commitment. You know, we can't have sex until after the waiting period.
  Malcolm: The waiting period?
  Reese: Poor, naive Malcolm! All women, when they get married, require a waiting period from six months to a year.
