- Many people argue that Friends, The Office, or Seinfeld are the best but nothing beats Malcolm in the Middle. It's relatability, perfectly executed jokes, and clever episode plots are just some of the reasons it's so great. It constantly finds ways to reinvent itself with episodes like Backwards Forwards, Clip Show, and Blackout.

I think that as people look back, more and more people are finding Malcolm in the Middle to be one of the best family sitcoms, well ever. As the seasons go on all of these characters are developed and unique, the writing is exceptional and the whole cast just does a phenomenal job.

There is not a single bad actor in Malcolm, not a single one. And that’s a huge feat when you consider that most of the main cast were kids, like, mega young ones when it first started. Dewey is basically a fucking baby in the first episode, and he’s amazing. Obviously, all three main kids get better as the show goes on (as does the whole show), bu...
It’s not just the famous five that knock it out the park – everyone in this show is good. Stevie, Abe, the Krelboynes, Francis (sometimes the Francis episodes are the best ones), Otto, Spangler, Ida and of course, the best supporting character that has ever appeared on screen: Craig Feldspar – they’re all impeccable. They all have their own, fully ...
Every single person in the show is flawless. I’m talking everyone. Even when a person is needed for the tiniest skit – they may only be in the entire show for a maximum of six seconds – the casting directors somehow manage to pick the perfect person for the job. Everyone is great. Extras notoriously have the capability to ruin things, but in Malcol...
OK, I guess the episode where Reese builds a balloon chair and floats into the sky isn’t exactly hard-hitting realism, but I’m talking about the grounded (literally) parts of the show. It’s unusual (or at least it was for the time) to depict a family who so clearly have major money problems, let alone two parents who have zero clue what they’re doi...
Because of the varied issues it tackles, it can be enjoyed by kids and adults. I loved it as a kid because I related to the kids, I enjoy it as an adult (haha, adult) because I can relate to Francis and I’m sure when I’m a parent (haha, parent), I will enjoy it because I will relate to Hal and Lois. Everything is shit in Malcolm, and you know what ...
Malcolm in the Middle is not your standard situation comedy – there was no lazy writing here, the situations changed. This was not The Big Bang Theory. Contained within Malcolm’s seven seasons and 151 episodes were some truly clever chapters. In the ep where the kids go bowling, the viewer is presented with two alternate realities – one where Hal t...
I have cried many times at Malcolm in the Middle. Because I was laughing – like when Reese puts a fake body in his bed to make Hal think he’s sleeping, but Hal accidentally pops the balloon that’s substituting his head and thinks he’s killed Reese. Because I was happy – like when the boys give Lois a Valentine’s present which is a box of chocolates...
Of course, I would give anything for more Malcolm in the Middle, but they went out on a high – it was great until the very end. American sitcoms often have the tendency to run themselves into the ground if they continue to be popular (*cough* Big Bang Theory *cough*), but thankfully Malcolmstopped before it went stale. As such, it still retains a f...
