Malcolm in the Middle
is the story of a
middle-class family comprised of four squabbling brothers
and their parents, who are just trying to "hold on until the last one turns
eighteen." Created and executive
produced by Linwood Boomer (3rd Rock From The Sun), this inventive family
comedy is seen through the eyes of Malcolm, a normal kid who is perfectly
content skateboarding, roughhousing with his brothers and avoiding the school
bully. He has even managed to accept--okay, ignore--his parents' penchant for
running around the house in the nude. But Malcolm's world is suddenly turned
upside down when it's discovered he has a genius IQ. He is forced into the
"gifted" class, where he finds himself surrounded by a group of
exceptionally bright social misfits. Hal (Bryan Cranston) and
Lois (Jane Kaczmarek) don't have the best-kept lawn, the cleanest house or the
most refined children on the block. But despite being overwhelmed by the daily
chaos, at the end of the day Malcolm and his brothers know they are loved.
Malcolm's oldest--and favorite--brother is Francis (Christopher Kennedy
Masterson), who has been sent away to military camp as a disciplinary measure.
With Francis gone, Malcolm is left in the middle between the next oldest
sibling, Reese (Justin Berfield)--a kid whose fists "work exactly twice as
fast as his brain"--and Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan), the youngest, who is
"trapped somewhere
between toddler and hamster." With his endearing yet
cynical wit, Malcolm navigates his way through the sometimes treacherous, always
entertaining waters of childhood. But as he says, "The best thing about
childhood is--at some point it stops."
