The show received widespread praise from critics and proved an extremely popular draw for the network.
It was placed No. The series is about a boy named Malcolm Frankie Muniz , who is revealed in the first episode to be a genius with an IQ of , places him in a class for gifted students also known as "Krelboynes" , originally taught by Caroline Miller Catherine Lloyd Burns.
He is the third-born child in a comically dysfunctional working-class family of four, and later, five boys, [3] [4] of Lois Jane Kaczmarek and Hal Bryan Cranston.
As of the first season, their delinquent oldest child, Francis Christopher Kennedy Masterson , has been sent away to military school, while younger brothers Reese Justin Berfield , Malcolm and Dewey Erik Per Sullivan remain at home with their parents.
With Francis away, Malcolm becomes the middle child of the family. The show's early seasons centered on Malcolm dealing with the rigors of being an intellectual and enduring the eccentricities of family life.
Later seasons expanded the show's scope by exploring the family's interactions with their extended family, friends and colleagues in more depth, including Lois' tyrannical mother Cloris Leachman ; Craig Feldspar David Anthony Higgins , Lois' hapless coworker at the Lucky Aide drugstore; Malcolm's best friend Stevie Kenarban Craig Lamar Traylor who is both in a wheelchair and highly asthmatic , and Stevie's dad Abe Gary Anthony Williams ; as well as a series of continuing subplots detailing Francis' misadventures at the military academy, from which he subsequently disenrolls to work in an Alaskan logging camp, before finally landing a job on a dude ranch run by an eccentric German couple.
Malcolm routinely broke the fourth wall by both narrating in voice-over and talking directly to the viewer on camera. The distinctive look and sound of the series relied heavily on elaborate post-production, including fast-cut editing, sound effects, musical inserts, the extensive use of locations, and the unusual camera styles, compositions and effects e.
Another distinctive aspect of the show is that the cold open of every episode is unrelated to the main story. Exceptions were episodes which were the conclusions of "two-parters"; each part two episode opened with a recap of its part one episode.
The family's surname is never mentioned directly in the series. Linwood Boomer's script for the pilot episode originally included the surname Wilkerson, but it was later removed because he did not want to put "any specific ethnic label on the characters".
The surname appeared in early drafts of promotional material and also on Francis' Marlin Academy uniform in the pilot. In the last episode of the series, Francis drops his ID badge from work, which lists his name as "Francis Nolastname".
Also in the last episode, the principal announces Malcolm as the speaker, clearly mouthing "Nolastname" as his voice is drowned out by microphone feedback.
A publicist for Fox said that "officially the family's last name should be considered a mystery". The show's opening title features short clips from cult films or television shows, edited together with clips from the pilot and early episodes of the show, set to the song "Boss of Me" by They Might Be Giants.
In "Stock Car Races," when Hal and the boys are entering a race track, the billboard behind the entrance displays the place as Irwindale Speedway , a real race track in Southern California.
The last episode in the first season "Water Park" was filmed at a water park called Wild Rivers now closed as of located in Irvine, California.
Though palm trees and desert scenery are seen in shots of the local region and town throughout the show, indicating a location in the Western United States, it is never revealed which state the show is set in except for Francis' whereabouts in early seasons, such as his military school in Alabama and his job in Alaska.
Hallmarks of the series' filming and structure, many of which heavily influenced later programs, included the following:.
During the final two seasons, Christopher Masterson reduced his on-screen time in favor of writing and directing some episodes.
Mood setting music is sprinkled throughout the series, in lieu of audience laughter, in a way that resembles feature film more than other TV sitcoms.
The Southern California pop-punk band Lit have many of their songs featured in several episodes. Lit songs that were never released as singles were also used.

Hal episodes, Reese episodes, Dewey episodes, Lois episodes, Malcolm has had five jobs in the series. His first was a babysitter for a wealthy family to earn money to purchase a robotics kit, but he quit after learning that the family's parents were spying on him.
In the fourth season, he worked as a tutor to a girl named Nikki, whom he eventually dated for a few episodes. Later, in the fifth season, Lois forced Malcolm to take a job with her at the Lucky Aide as a way to have him under her control.
While he hated the job and tried to quit many times, Lois would not let him. He finally quit at approximately the time he graduated high school.
In the final episode, he gets a job as a janitor at Harvard to help with his tuition. In the final episode , it is revealed that Hal and Lois do not plan for him to have an easy life.
Because Malcolm consistently exceeds his parents' expectations, by both his intellect, his character, and sense of ethics, by the time he graduates from high school, they have the highest of expectations for him: to become President of the United States.
As part of an elaborate plan for his future, Malcolm's parents force him to follow through on plans to attend college instead of letting him accept a six-figure salary job offer straight out of high school.
Lois says that at Harvard, Malcolm will have to work harder than his classmates and will accomplish more than they do, but they will continue to look down on him.
When Malcolm argues that he could have taken the job and "bought his way into office", Lois concludes that Malcolm "wouldn't have suffered enough" even though he has suffered his whole life.
Because of the struggles he is forced to endure, Malcolm will realize that there is more to life than flaunting how intelligent he is.
After college, the plan provides for him to channel his energies into a political career, and after starting off as a district attorney or running a foundation, he will be elected governor of a mid-size state and then President.
They envision that he would then become one of the greatest Presidents ever because he would represent, understand, and, more importantly, have empathy for the interests of poor people like his family, which, his parents say, no other President has however, this seems unlikely given Malcolm's selfishness.
Malcolm accepts his parents' plans for him after his mother asked him to look her in the eye and tell her he was not capable of becoming President, but he could not, knowing it was well within his ability.
It appears that his brothers and Grandmother are aware of these plans, as when Malcolm looks around at his family after being told this, they all nod at him, and Francis simply states, "Thought you knew.
For all the misery he has had so far, Malcolm understands that his hardships have only just begun and his life is about to get much worse before it ever gets better.
Although he recognizes that his parents' plans are outlandish and improbable, and complains that they are making decisions for him that are rightfully his to make, he signals that he has accepted their vision for him and will carry it in his valedictorian speech at his graduation ceremony.
The series ends in a rather mediocre way for him, as he does maintain contact with his family as evidenced from a phone conversation with Reese.
He is shown to be working as a janitor while attending Harvard. Malcolm does seem to have realized the good this will do for himself, accepts he can do it, and has comes to terms with his future.
Malcolm is a smart, diligent, hard-working, but very annoyed, arrogant, condescending, often whining, bitter, self centered, egotistical, ungrateful, mischievous, reckless, impulsive and anti-social kid, who seems to have a very crappy life.
He has an obnoxious family and a school full of people who hate him. He is seclusive and an anti-social introvert who has no friends aside from a few Krelbroynes who would only become his friends during the events within the episodes of the series and this lonesome behavior gives him the time to only think about himself and his own personal feelings on everything.
He has sort of "trained" himself to belief all of these very horrible, terrible things about the rest of the world and all the people around him and think nothing but the best of himself, making him a very self-absorbed and egotistical kid and he might actually be right to do so.
Malcolm is a repressed genius as he was revealed to have an IQ of in the first episode, which is considered to be "exceptionally gifted", and given all of the disrespect and disregard he has to put up with in his life, his genius is not being expressed to the world the way it should be.
Malcolm also has an absurd sense of entitlement. Malcolm views himself as a victim of extreme unfairness, believing he deserves a much better life and family.
While being a Krelboyne made him a social outcast at school in the earlier seasons and an embarrassment caused by Lois when he started high school assured his continued suffering, Malcolm is blind to how his own obnoxious ego and arrogance drives most people away.
He is intolerant to the incompetence he views in most around him, and is quick to call them idiots.
Rather then seeing his intelligence as a gift, Malcolm is often burdened by it. His ego and arrogance is so great that even his own brothers cannot stand him all the time and they exclude him from activities just to get a break from him once in a while.
Francis openly tells him he is the least liked among the Wilkerson brothers, which shocks Malcolm who thought he was the most liked.
Although not all of it is their fault, Malcolm puts much, if not all, of the blame on his family for everything wrong in his life.
He is constantly embarrassed by them and often tries to disassociate himself from them as much as possible. His personality causes him to occasionally put his own best interests ahead of others, despite the cost.
He has been shown to leave his best friend Stevie Kenarban more than once, and often ran out on his Krelboyne classmates in favor of a more popular crowd although, it is shown the Krelboynes have no true problem selling Malcolm out themselves.
He is shown in later seasons to be extremely self-centered and self-absorbed. When he was feeling left out by Dewey and Reese, Francis pointed out that his feelings weren't hurt, but rather, his ego was just bruised.
Because of the constant pressure they put on him and their own failings, Malcolm does not look up to Hal and Lois as role models or parental figures.
He has little respect for Hal because of his great incompetence as man and outright hates Lois because of her tyranny and ruining of any chance he has for happiness.
Despite being egotistical and self-absorbed in the later seasons, Malcolm has shown concern for his family. This was very evident in the episode Hal Grieves, while Reese and Dewey took advantage of their father buying presents.
Malcolm realized it was wrong and even being promised a new car, he tried to stop Hal from going through with the purchase by telling him that he'd still love him regardless.
It wasn't long until Lois finally steps in. Malcolm and Lois are very similar in that they are both extremely stubborn, and they often butt heads due to this shared trait.
Malcolm hates how Lois controls him and makes him do whatever she wants him to. However, it is shown especially in the episode "Mono" that they can get along and ether.
Malcolm doesn't hate Hal in the way that he hates his other family members, given that he never punishes him or does anything annoying.
In fact, Malcolm likes him better than Lois and would rather spend time with him instead of her. But Malcolm doesn't exactly have a whole lot of respect for Hal.
In the episode " Health Scare ", Malcolm thought that his parents were getting a divorce and hoped that Hal was going to get custody of the kids.
Despite that, Malcolm and Hal do get along good together on occasions. Malcolm hates Reese more than he hates his other brothers and gets into fights with him the most.
Although Malcolm hates him most of the time, he still cares about him and shows sympathy for him. For example: In the episode Cheerleader , Malcolm wanted to help Reese with the girl that he had a crush on, which would in no way benefit himself and showed concern when he became a cheerleader and in the episode Experiment , Malcolm realized that Reese was depressed because he thought he was stupid and felt sympathy for him and let up on the insults and abuse for a while.
In the episode Reese Joins the Army: Part 1 , Malcolm stole Reese's girlfriend from him, and everyone who heard about it shamed him for it, telling him it was a cruel and scummy thing to do.
Malcolm tried to justify it by listing all of the things he thought to be even worse, that Reese did to him in the past, but he came up short because his memories exaggerated the small amount of things he really did.
He also was shown to genuinely miss Reese when he was gone. Also when Reese tried to marry Raduca , Malcolm desperately tried to stop him, so that he wouldn't mess up his life.
Malcolm is very condescending toward Dewey and sees him as just a little kid who doesn't know anything. Sometimes, Malcolm will pretty much ignore Dewey's existence, much like the other members of the family do.
When he does pay attention to him, he is always bullying him. Although, Malcolm still cares for Dewey as a brother and has helped him on a few occasions.
Malcolm saw Francis as "his only good brother" and was unhappy with the fact that he got sent off to Marlin Academy. He would always talk about how much he missed him and called him on the phone and looked up to him for advice.
Jamie is the only brother that Malcolm doesn't fight with and disrespect because he was a baby for the majority of the series. In "Baby" parts 1 and 2 , Malcolm got the idea to join a parenting class so that they can help take care of Jamie.
In " Day Care ," Malcolm was the one who had to babysit Jamie while the rest of their family tried to get him a daycare with the local church.
In " Vegas ," Malcolm had Jamie in the carrier while Lois went around. Ida is Malcolm's cold-hearted, bitter, and evil Grandmother.
His relationship with her is a very sour one due to the fact that she treats him and the rest of the family like a waste of space.
She thinks that he is a weak person due to her own personal opinion of Lois and that he isn't the real genius of the family.
Unlike of Victor and Ida, his aunt, Claire and the other Wilkersons especially his grandfather Walter treat Malcolm much better.
They believe he's the only one in his family with potential and they respect for his high intelligence.
His relatives encourage him to continue behaving the way he does in the hopes of getting him away from his low-class mother, Lois.
Malcolm used to be a fairly normal kid, with a few good friends, but because his mom forced him to be in the Krelboyne Class, he started to have trouble making friends and was getting bullied.
As the series continued, it was shown the main reason for his lack of friends was not because he was a Krelboyne, but because of his own egotistical nature, smug arrogance, and condescending views on others.
His genius may have made people view him as weird and alienated him from other kids, but Malcolm took a lot of pride in this and saw himself as better than others because of it.
The few friends that Malcolm actually did have, were other Krelboynes and even they would sometimes be annoyed with his egotism. They also proved on many occasions that they had no problem abandoning him or selling him in order to advantage themselves.
Though Malcolm, himself was more than willing to do the same thing. Stevie is Malcolm's best friend. Stevie first becomes friends with him in the " Pilot ".
Lois forced Malcolm to hang out with him because Stevie had no other friends. Malcolm was hesitant to do this at first, but he couldn't deny it because Stevie was in a wheelchair.
They were put in the same accelerated learning classes throughout middle school and most of high school.
Stevie has a sarcastic side, has outsmarted Malcolm and Reese numerous times, and has even managed to get the better of Reese physically on occasion.
He has been shown to be a far stronger person than both his parents even Abe admitted he was a weak, small man. Stevie has suffered from Malcolm's egotism a lot and has been driven insane by his constant talking about himself, shown most prominently in episodes such as " Future Malcolm " and " Malcolm Dates a Family ".
However, Stevie has managed to deal with Malcolm's self-centered behavior and just completely ignore it.

Neue Heimat für populäre US-Comedyserie Diese beachtet ihn kaum. Neighbor Jessica convinces Malcolm that Reese is gay and Reese that Malcolm is gay; Dewey writes an essay on Hal as his hero; and Hal competes with another neighbor for the best holiday yard display. See all reviews.
But, like Reese, he felt disappointed when they visited Francis on the ranch that he worked at and saw that he was no longer their delinquent idol, and had become a responsible adult, even acting stunned when he said that sometimes Lois is right to punish them.
Though he felt great guilt after having cheated with Reese's girlfriend prompting Reese to join the army , Malcolm compiled a list of things Reese did to him that he insisted were much worse.
While he enjoys pulverizing Dewey and making him miserable, he occasionally attempts to help him, although it usually goes wrong such as when it becomes apparent that Dewey may also have a genius-level intellect, Malcolm attempts to keep him from being transferred into the Krelboyne class, thus sparing Dewey the misery he endured, but instead manages to get him sent to a class for emotionally disturbed children after sabotaging his answers for his IQ test.
On another occasion at the zoo when Dewey fell into the tiger cage, despite Malcolm being in a deep depression for most of the episode and apparently several weeks beforehand, Malcolm showed genuine concern and jumped over several rails and into the cage to get to his brother, only to trap himself in the cage as well.
While in the tiger cage, believing he was about to die, he confessed that he actually did love his family.
Throughout the series, Malcolm's intellect has proven to be more of a burden then a blessing, as he is the person the family usually turns to when faced with a crisis.
This was shown when Hal refused to let Malcolm go to an out of country school Malcolm tried to use it to escape his family. Hal said he was the family's last hope.
His genius is also the reason Lois tries to completely control his life, as she believes Malcolm is the only one of her children with a chance of amounting to anything.
Many episodes show Malcolm struggling to get out Lois's control, but all his efforts prove to be in vain.
As expected from his ego and arrogance, Malcolm is often blind to his own moral failings and has a constant need to blame everything on the people in his life for him being the person he is.
For all of Malcolm's hardships, he is, at heart, an arrogant, whining ingrate. While Malcolm is, for most part, extremely unpopular with girls, he has had a number of girlfriends throughout the show.
However, they all end in an extremely unhappy fashion either because of Lois who plans to choose who he marries for him or Malcolm's own actions.
Malcolm has had five jobs in the series. His first was a babysitter for a wealthy family to earn money to purchase a robotics kit, but he quit after learning that the family's parents were spying on him.
In the fourth season, he worked as a tutor to a girl named Nikki, whom he eventually dated for a few episodes. Later, in the fifth season, Lois forced Malcolm to take a job with her at the Lucky Aide as a way to have him under her control.
While he hated the job and tried to quit many times, Lois would not let him. He finally quit at approximately the time he graduated high school.
In the final episode, he gets a job as a janitor at Harvard to help with his tuition. In the final episode , it is revealed that Hal and Lois do not plan for him to have an easy life.
Because Malcolm consistently exceeds his parents' expectations, by both his intellect, his character, and sense of ethics, by the time he graduates from high school, they have the highest of expectations for him: to become President of the United States.
As part of an elaborate plan for his future, Malcolm's parents force him to follow through on plans to attend college instead of letting him accept a six-figure salary job offer straight out of high school.
Lois says that at Harvard, Malcolm will have to work harder than his classmates and will accomplish more than they do, but they will continue to look down on him.
When Malcolm argues that he could have taken the job and "bought his way into office", Lois concludes that Malcolm "wouldn't have suffered enough" even though he has suffered his whole life.
Because of the struggles he is forced to endure, Malcolm will realize that there is more to life than flaunting how intelligent he is.
After college, the plan provides for him to channel his energies into a political career, and after starting off as a district attorney or running a foundation, he will be elected governor of a mid-size state and then President.
They envision that he would then become one of the greatest Presidents ever because he would represent, understand, and, more importantly, have empathy for the interests of poor people like his family, which, his parents say, no other President has however, this seems unlikely given Malcolm's selfishness.

Jamie is the only brother that Malcolm doesn't fight with and disrespect because he was a baby for the majority of the series. In "Baby" parts 1 and 2 , Malcolm got the idea to join a parenting class so that they can help take care of Jamie.
In " Day Care ," Malcolm was the one who had to babysit Jamie while the rest of their family tried to get him a daycare with the local church.
In " Vegas ," Malcolm had Jamie in the carrier while Lois went around. Ida is Malcolm's cold-hearted, bitter, and evil Grandmother. His relationship with her is a very sour one due to the fact that she treats him and the rest of the family like a waste of space.
She thinks that he is a weak person due to her own personal opinion of Lois and that he isn't the real genius of the family.
Unlike of Victor and Ida, his aunt, Claire and the other Wilkersons especially his grandfather Walter treat Malcolm much better. They believe he's the only one in his family with potential and they respect for his high intelligence.
His relatives encourage him to continue behaving the way he does in the hopes of getting him away from his low-class mother, Lois.
Malcolm used to be a fairly normal kid, with a few good friends, but because his mom forced him to be in the Krelboyne Class, he started to have trouble making friends and was getting bullied.
As the series continued, it was shown the main reason for his lack of friends was not because he was a Krelboyne, but because of his own egotistical nature, smug arrogance, and condescending views on others.
His genius may have made people view him as weird and alienated him from other kids, but Malcolm took a lot of pride in this and saw himself as better than others because of it.
The few friends that Malcolm actually did have, were other Krelboynes and even they would sometimes be annoyed with his egotism. They also proved on many occasions that they had no problem abandoning him or selling him in order to advantage themselves.
Though Malcolm, himself was more than willing to do the same thing. Stevie is Malcolm's best friend. Stevie first becomes friends with him in the " Pilot ".
Lois forced Malcolm to hang out with him because Stevie had no other friends. Malcolm was hesitant to do this at first, but he couldn't deny it because Stevie was in a wheelchair.
They were put in the same accelerated learning classes throughout middle school and most of high school. Stevie has a sarcastic side, has outsmarted Malcolm and Reese numerous times, and has even managed to get the better of Reese physically on occasion.
He has been shown to be a far stronger person than both his parents even Abe admitted he was a weak, small man. Stevie has suffered from Malcolm's egotism a lot and has been driven insane by his constant talking about himself, shown most prominently in episodes such as " Future Malcolm " and " Malcolm Dates a Family ".
However, Stevie has managed to deal with Malcolm's self-centered behavior and just completely ignore it.
In the episode " Stevie in the Hospital ", Stevie was in the hospital and Malcolm visited him, only to rudely lash out at him and act like a jerk for a few seconds and then leave, without letting Stevie get a word in edgewise.
Instead of getting offended by this, Stevie was happy that Malcolm came. As the series progressed, Stevie eventually proved to be Malcolm's only friend in the end.
Lloyd is one of Malcolm and Stevie's Krelboyne classmates and friend for the first four seasons of the show. Lloyd is portrayed as nerdy, physically and emotionally frail, and overly-dramatic.
As a Krelboyne gifted student , Lloyd is often bullied by his classmates including Reese , and often suffers the consequences of schemes in which he helps Malcolm.
Lloyd suffers from anger displacement tendencies and major self esteem issues, which is why he regularly sees the school's therapist, Mrs.
He has been publicly humiliated several times, most famously during "Krelboyne Picnic", when he got his braces stuck to a super-powerful magnet he built.
It is lightly hinted that he is suicidal, as it is stated by his friend, Dabney, that the majority of his ideas end in suicide, and that he has more than once made a death pact.
In "Cynthia's Back", Lloyd mentions that he has a third nipple. Like Malcolm's other Krelboyne friends, Lloyd appears less frequently during the show's fourth season, eventually leaving Stevie as Malcolm's only friend by Season 5.
Interestingly, Lloyd is an undergraduate house at Cal-tech, a university well known for its emphasis on the natural sciences and engineering.
Dabney is one of Malcolm and Stevie's more emotionally-stricken and flamboyant Krelboyne classmates and friends for the first four seasons of the show.
Like other Krelboyne students, Dabney is regularly bullied and often suffers the consequences of schemes with which he helps Malcolm.
Dabney has an unhealthy relationship with his mother, Doreen, who orders her son around and attempts to dominate almost all aspects of his life.
However, in "Hal's Friend", after Dabney receives a paintball gun as a birthday present from his grandfather, only for Doreen to take it away, Malcolm secretly takes him to a paintball battle course, and in the process he learns to stand up for himself and adopts a no-nonsense attitude towards his mother.
Like Malcolm's other Krelboyne friends, Dabney appears less frequently during the show's fourth season, eventually leaving Stevie as Malcolm's only friend by Season 5.
Interestingly, Dabney is another undergraduate house at Cal-tech, a university well known for its emphasis on the natural sciences and engineering.
Eraserhead is one of Malcolm's other Krelboyne classmates. He is seen less frequently than the other Krelboyne students but is shown to have a talent for playing the piano, and often gets involved in class theater productions.
It is known he has an older brother, Alphonse, who beats Reese up in the episode "Krelboyne Picnic" after he is caught tormenting Eraserhead.
Kevin is a nervous and easily excitable Krelboyne student and one of Malcolm's friends that first appears early in the third season.
It is hinted that he's berated at home, as he once exclaimed, when he got a bad grade on a test, "My stepdad's right, I am useless!
Like Malcolm's other Krelboyne friends, Kevin appears less frequently in Season 4, eventually disappearing midway through the season.
Kevin's presence in the series seemed to fill the void of Eraserhead. Jessica played by Hayden Panettiere, is a teenage girl who first made an appearance as a babysitter that Hal hired so that he could take on a second job while Lois was away tending to her pregnancy.
Proving to be more of a threat than initially thought, she turned out to be as scheming, conniving and manipulative as any of the boys.
In later episodes, she was a frequent visitor as a neighbor who would come over to escape a negligent father. Working again for her own benefit she proceeded to create uncomfortable situations including convincing the family to see "Mamma Mia!
In the final episodes she appears in 7. After he returns to her once he ends his previous engagement, she confesses that she had once again lied. When Malcolm is upset that he has once again fallen for one of her tricks she kisses him, responding next with 'Yeah, nothing.
Much like Cynthia, her character has frequent breaks in between episodes, but unlike her, she is given much more of a back story and she appears during the last season.
