    I have a house full of teenagers and we all drop everything to watch Malcolm. It is a lot of fun to listen to my boys all laughing together. I look forward to the show and the family time everyday. Don't recommend this show for little kids or troubled kids.

    I give this show four stars just because the dad on the show (Bryan Cranston) was laugh out loud funny each and every episode. It's rare that you see such an original character on a sitcom. A dad who was unafraid to be overly-sensitive, overly-macho, moody, zany, and a million other things and he still had the audience identify with him every step of the way. Cranston's new show Breaking Bad is a complete switch, and goes to show how much talent this actor has.

    This is a great show. Am disappointed that so far only the first season has been released on DVD.

    One of the funniest family sitcoms ever. Great cast that works very well together, brilliant writing as well. I never watched this show when it was originally broadcast and have become a big fan of the show watching the reruns. One of the few shows on t.v. that will make me laugh out loud sometimes. Very creative show.

    Our family tunes in to Malcolm in the Middle every week. It is one of the few shows that all of us like to watch.I think the show is very unique. I think that Lois is great. I love the way she deals with her family. All the characters are funny. It would be hard for me to pick a favorite. UPDATE. I think I liked the first few years the best. by the last year the young stars were getting older. they had some good guest stars on as well. Especially Cloris Leachman as grandma Ida.I could see why It had to end last year. kids grow up.

    Very well written show. The adults in the show are very dynamic actors. The kids could be better. I like the fact that the parents are still hot for each other and the yard looks like crap. Things are funnier sometimes when you go against the grain.

    another good show from Fox. the acting is good and funny to watch. however, the show is going downhill just like the simpsons. the show looks like it might end after the current season. oh, well. it was funny while it lasted.

    When I first heard about this show, I thought it was for kids; so i never watched it. One night while in the hospital (few channels) I turned it on, (the older shows). This show is definitly the funniest show I've seen and realistic. Married w/children just wasn't too realistic, but malcolm and his brothers, sounds like a bunch of boys (my uncles) having a great time. Now I know why this show won so many awards. I LOVE the mom

    A stroke of genius. I'm one out of four childern so I know what Malcom's family jungle feels like. Not only is this show funny, but its something you can really relate to. Unfortunatly most of episodes now are not what they used to be.

    My wife and I just started watching this show. It is really funny. I knew a family that was just like this when I was growing up, except their were ten of them.

    This show is so funny. A silly dad, a controlling mother, 4 kids that are always getting in trouble (Malcolm is the super intelligent one). Everywhere they go they manage to bring trouble with them, sometimes on accident.

    Should've got cancelled the first season. The characters are so 2 dimensional and the plots are lame. Plus where are the jokes if this is a so called comedy show. I wish there was a laugh-track so I would know what's so funny?

    One of... if not the best comedy in Fox's history. This show is absolutely brilliant. The cast fit so well together and I love the way Malcolm looks at the camera every once in awhile and comments about how his family is so screwed up!

    The show is okay. It used to be my favorite show when it first came out, but now it is dumb and boring. I just watch the show when nothing else is on. Some of the episodes entertain me. I was thinking about giving it tow stars.

    When it first started, it was funny and original, but now it's yet another loony comedy about a dysfunctional family. And BTW, people are always saying how great the character of Lois is and how she kept the family together. Well I always thought she was a domineering bitch, and that the rest of the famly would get on better without her.

    The show looks like horiffically-deformed Leave it to Beaver on some very bad stimulant drug. Perhaps the first sitcom in ages to premiere without either a laugh track OR a live audience, this show is just really weird--and not in a good way. Although it is weird, MITM does not have the high-concept to give the family-sitcom a needed kick in the pants. Instead, it relies on the parents acting awful and the kids breaking all the rules. I ask again, where are the teenagers that actually act good on television? The acting is terrible, the writing is uninspired, and the content does get pretty bad at times.

    First, I would spank those brat kids, put them in their rooms, and dump the loser husband. This show is so bad it needs to be thrown out in the trash with the rest of the garbage. WHY does it win awards? Even Frankie Muniz is extremely overrated...a complete snooze...

    I think Malcolms mother epitimises the majority of mothers throughout the country. Francis is absolutly hot!!!!! I shows the life of a typical family. The majority of the American sitcoms always seem to have the same ending, an I love you. What a load of rubbish and thats what makes this show great...

    A hit and miss kind of show. Fortunately, more hits than misses. When it's on, it's absolutely hilarious. Very creative and very wicked. Anyone with kids can relate to Malcolm. 1000 Times funnier than anything on NBC Must suck (errrrr see) Thursday.

    It's okey but I got tired of watching this show. It's not the best. If you want to watch hot people or you think boys are cute, I recommend Paridise Hotel and if you want to watch something funny, watch the Simpsons and Wanda at Large.

    This show was really good for about the first two seasons. Then it started getting boring and repetitive, and it seemed like the writers were getting desperate. Also, the characters have changed too much, and not for the better...Malcolm has actually gotten stupider instead of smarter.

    Very unique show, and every character is good execpt Louis, who is the meanest bitch ever to Grace God's green earth. I like the way they have different personalities and how there is always a little story involving only on or two of the characters.

    Eh, Its ok. Whatever. I can see what they're shooting for, trying to do the whole Simpsons and Family Guy thing, but they end up putting too much of the Disney animal movie quality crap into it. Its a bit pathetic. And the whole outlandish wackiness just looks weak here--It just doesnt seem natural the way it is supposed to in good comedy. The jokes are shallow--I cannot see anyone beyong junior high enjoying this. I cant believe the cancelled Family Guy and let this crap run. I hate Fox. Even the simpsons are barely surviving. Mind you most of the reviewers here are that age, so to you this is not an insult.

    This show was hilarious at first but has really started slipping in quality. It's still better than most crap on TV today, but it needs to get back where it started. The dad really acts like too much of an idiot now and it's just too annoying.

    I really don't like this show, the comedy is far to simplistic and outlandish for a show with human actors.

    Totally! These boys are so hot! Please!! The show isnt good anymore. Dont get me wrong- I LOVED the show when it came out. But ever since Francis left military school the show has been downright terrible.
