Not perfect, but way better than 'Tonite on Temptation Island' with
scenes from the that playing over 2/3 of the screen, and the 'Malcolm'
credits playing in a sidebar with no music almost as an afterthought.
I am surprised they don't just run commercials over the titles. Ha, I
better not say that, they might be reading and think that is a cool
idea.
It is a joke though, I don't know anyone who stays watching for the
end titles. To the network it is just another 30 seconds they can use
for self-promotion.

3.17... Best Dewey episode ever.
A real turning point in the character I thought. After all the years
beaten on by Reese and Malcolm, he finally snaps. The 'I want
EVERYTHING' speech is, well, everything I wanted to hear him say since
the first time they beat up on him.
He showed earlier in the season he has no mercy in taking advantage of
a situation, attacking Reese with a fork, then beating him over the
head with the sack full of toys after Malcolm ties him up. Here he
takes it to the next level, and the shot of a terrified Reese and
Malcolm cowering against the door with Dewey looming over them is so
cool.
Dewey plays the whole show as the perfect sociopath, he has so much
fun with the humiliation he pours on Reese and Malcolm.
I also thought it was neat when the haircut joke was revisited in
season 4.
Poker #2...
All that talk of Malcolm's birthday being at the start of the season
for season 4, I guess this is just another continuity error. This one
puts his birthday about at the end of the season; it was 'recently'
Malcolm's birthday and they imply he didn't get a birthday present
because Hal spent the money on this poker party instead.
I didn't think this was the greatest of episodes, except for the whole
Reese pimping for Stevie set up. And Reese forcing Dewey out into the
back yard with a toilet roll so that he could use the bathroom to spy
on Stevie making out, another of those 'perfect in their cruelty'
moments.
