Malcolm in The Middle is an offbeat, laugh track-lacking sitcom, following the middle kid of a dimwitted, dysfunctional family, Malcolm, a gifted young teen who tries to survive within the family.
Seems to have found that optimum combination of elements... perceptive casting, outstanding acting and innovative direction brought to scripts that blend verbal jousting and slapstick
If you like your family humor tart, sophisticated and just a bit bent, though, get ready to howl at this series about a brilliant little kid buckling under the crushing stigma of being designated a genius.
It is Kaczmarek as mom who makes Malcolm special. Loving yet unyielding in her determination to do what is right for her kids and teach them the values of honesty and not going along with the crowd, Kaczmarek's Lois knows -- and does -- best.
Malcolm in the Middle isn't nearly as funny or wickedly wise as The Simpsons. But, despite its many moments of overkill, it does have a big heart and some smarts.
The show takes the most trite sitcom subdivision - the family comedy - and brands it in a new way, with an instantly recognizable visual style that matches the show's scripts in scrappy energy.
