  • So Malcolms old enough to bang?

    Because I noticed he's sleeping with a woman in the first episode of the new series. This was quite a shock!

    Awesome show hide « show »

    Created and executive-produced by Emmy Award-winning writer Linwood Boomer, this inventive half-hour series is seen through the eyes of MALCOLM (Frankie Muniz), a regular high school kid trying to navigate his way through life despite the various obstacles thrown in his way – a complete misunderstanding of girls, the constant burden of masterminding plans to get himself and his brothers into or out of trouble, and a miserable job at the Lucky Aide… not to mention a severe case of teen angst. I think this is a really good show and I'm glad there starting to air it on Nick at Nite.

    Fantastic show! hide « show »

    This has to be one of my "all-time" favourite shows EVER!
    Malcolm is a genius (really? Didn't he once handle a gun that his friend brought to the house and try to chop it up, without even contacting the police? Didn't he once re-write a "pet-food" commercial as a heartfelt ballad? So he's a "genius" is he?)
    Anyway, Malcolm has 3 brothers (Dewey, Reese - and older brother who doesn't live at home - Francis. Oh, and in later seasons a fourth brother is born who they named Jamie).
    Malcolm also has a stupid father (much like Homer Simpson.. Only a little smarter (I guess)..) named Hal, and a "screaming / yelling" mother named Lois.
    This show is a look into the lives of Malcolm's family (also including Malcolm's friend Stevie, and Malcolm's hateful Grandmother Ida).
    Personal view:
    I think comedy is fantastic and I love the way the characters gradually change throughout the progression of the seasons (Francis getting married / Lois beginning to understand Malcolm's problem of being a "genius" a little better / Francis moving from job to job etc.)
    I just wish that they would straighten themselves out and release this to DVD though.

Reese is the 2nd born.Malcolm is in the middle and Dewey is the 4th born and finally Jamie is the Last Born.The series ran for several years and ended with a Episode called, "Graduation."The final episode is for sure something to remember.

    7.5 Good

    An odd show. hide « show »

    I think I have watched every episode of this show. I personally think it's a decent show and rather entertaining. I like the fact that it doesn't have the stupid audience reactions of cheering and clapping. That way, you can actually judge what you think is funny. I never had a favorite character on this show. I think they all had really good chemistry and the writing on the show was well done. I also think that the comedy was good, but it seemed that sometimes the show wanted you too laugh so it came off forced. But this is a time consumer. Thank you.

    One of the funniest most origional shows in telivision history! hide « show »

    One of the funniest and most energetically written sitcoms in American television history, Malcolm in the Middle was consistently great. One classic episode after another. This show reminds me of a comic strip that used to appear in the National Lampoon back in it's golden years of the early 70's, The Appletons. This was before political correctness
    swept across the land like a fatal disease and killed off a lot of the fun in the world. "BOOOOYYSS...ARE YOU ABORIGIONIES!?!?" Yes. They
    sure were. But they grew up and moved on...and may Malcolm in the Middle live on in syndication for years to come. Amen.
