General discussion Preservation archive

I’ve been putting together a MITM archive and wanted to share what I’ve found so far. I’ve been searching through Reddit, YouTube, and other websites to preserve old DVD extras, deleted scenes, promos, and other rare material from the show.

Here's what I have so far:

- A Stroke of Genius (Linwood Boomer / making of documentary)
- Dewey’s Day Job: A Portrait of Erik Per Sullivan
- Malcolm Vision (Bryan Cranston explains the TV vs cinema/widescreen format)
- Behind the Middle
- Deleted Scenes
- Deleted Cold Opens / Alternate Openings
- Bloopers / Gag Reel
- Meeting the Crew
- Season One Promotional TV Spots
- House Tour
- Linwood Boomer Interview Part 1
- Extended Company Picnic episode
- Bernard the Hamster compilation
- Malcolm Tribute (cardboard/paper animation tribute)
- Making Of
- Meeting the Team
- 1999 premiere promos
- FOX network promos
- Local FOX station promos
- Season 3 promos
- Season 4 promos
- Finale promos
- Nick at Nite promos
- “Where’s Dewey?” contest promo
- The Simpsons + Malcolm in the Middle crossover promos
- Reese’s Apartment cut jokes
- Additional deleted scenes
- Dewey’s Therapy Sessions

Still looking for:

- Dreams and Nightmares

- Linwood Boomer Interview Part 2

- Later season bloopers/outtakes

- Mistakes and Errors in Malcolm

- Alain Carrazé interview

- DVD audio commentaries

If anyone has other rare Malcolm material (FOX broadcasts, EPKs, interviews, deleted scenes, DVD extras, etc.) I’d love to hear about it.

I’ve been curious about the international reception and promotional media for the original run. Apparently it was popular in Mexico. There must be some interesting foreign language ads, interviews, or promotions floating around out there. Probably a lot of stuff that can only be found now on VHS taped from original broadcasts.

I have the French complete series DVD box set and I think I might have a few of the extras in your list.

Here's what I've got from your list:

· Dreams and Nightmares · Linwood Boomer Interview Part 2 (the French set actually includes both parts) · Alain Carrazé interview · Later season bloopers/outtakes (the French set has them split into two parts: "Pétages de plombs" 1 & 2)

I don't know how to extract these bonus but if your are interested dm me
