The show is rather unusual compared to other Disney Channel Kid Coms. Unlike other shows on the channel, it is a single-camera sitcom with no Laugh Track, the first since Jonas in 2009. Furthermore, the set of the house is much messier than most other homes, and there is a substantial amount of Parental Bonuses. It's also one of the few of their sitcoms not to be produced by It's A Laugh Productions.

The show ended on July 23, 2018, after three full seasons.

  • Back for the Finale: Rachael comes back in the final episode to save the day when preparations for Harley's quinceañera go wrong.

  • Smelly Skunk: At the very end of the episode "Stuck in the Slushinator" when a skunks sprays the whole family which the camera took the picture.
  • Take That!: In "Stuck in the Diaz of Our Lives" the reference to the quintuplets show being cancelled over a scandal is a dig at 19 Kids and Counting being cancelled on TLC, though the latter case had less family-friendly reasons.
  • Tempting Fate: In "Stuck at Christmas" as everyone is in their bus to Abuela's:

    Something New

    The beloved sitcom Malcolm in the Middle gave fans 151 episodes over its 7 season run but these 15 ranked above the rest, according to IMDb.

    Much loved sitcom Malcolm in the Middle might have had one of the most dysfunctional families to ever appear on television. Told from Malcolm’s point of view for most of its 150 episodes, the series followed four (and later five) brothers as they fought for dominance in their suburban household. In reality, their mother was in control of everything.

    For seven seasons, Lois did her best to plan every aspect of her children’s lives, but she couldn’t plan out every best episode. According to the IMDb, these 10 episodes rank as the best of the series. Ranging from an 8.5 to a 9.3 out of 10 stars, all of them beat out the eight star average for the series as a whole.

    Updated on December 23rd, 2020 by Kristen Palamara: Malcolm in the Middle has stayed a popular sitcom even after being off the air for almost 15 years. People still love the show and there are talks of a possible revival happening showing that everyone still loves the show and would love to see the great cast return to these characters. The Wilkerson family has stuck with viewers for years, here are the top-rated episodes from the series!

    15 Pilot S1E01 - 8.4

    The pilot episode of the series introduces the whole Wilkerson family and focuses on Malcolm, the middle son, as he narrates the entire episode like the rest of the series.

    It's revealed in the first episode that Malcolm has a genius-level IQ so he's moved into a special class, the Krelboyne class, that is full of other genius kids like himself. Malcolm has a difficult time adjusting during the pilot.

    14 Lois's Birthday S2E03 - 8.4

    This episode sees Lois's disastrous birthday as she gives each of the kids $10 to give her a present and instead they all pool it together to buy something else for themselves.

    Her husband, Hal, also forgets her birthday, which of course makes things even worse. Lois escapes the family to let off some steam at the batting cages, but the family tries their best to make it up to her while Francis brings home a new girlfriend.

    13 Evacuation S2E24 - 8.4

    Hal attempts to take the family's old couch to the dump, but accidentally loses it on the trip and causes a train accident that affects the entire town. Hal tries to make it up to everyone to no avail at first while his kids get into trouble.

    Dewey tries to make everyone believe that he's an orphan while Reese starts a black market system and Malcolm is grounded. There's also a storyline where Francis goes on a completely unique double date.

    12 Red Dress S1E02 - 8.4

    Only the second episode, “Red Dress” happened to be the most-watched episodes of the first season when it aired. It’s not a perfect episode, but it’s a great snapshot of what the show had in store. Lois and Hal are supposed to celebrate their anniversary. While Hal waits at the restaurant, Lois finds her perfect red dress burned in the bathroom.

    So sure that one of the boys did it, she spends the entire night punishing them instead of going to dinner. For their part, Malcolm and Reese call their older brother Francis for help dealing with her. Of course, it was Hal who accidentally ruined the dress, though no one finds that out. The war between Lois and her sons, while Hal is oblivious, and Francis off on his own adventure is a template for the entire run of the show.

    11 New Neighbors S2E13 - 8.4

    For once in the series, the hostility and backstabbing isn’t directed at one another but instead, outside the family. When “New Neighbors” move in, almost all the members of Malcolm’s family have new enemies.

    The kids and the moms can’t stand one another and continually make one another’s lives miserable. Hal, however, makes friends with the new dad. The two have to keep their friendship a secret from everyone in a twist on a clandestine affair. The story could have made for a great recurring theme in the series, but the new family left town by the end of the episode when one of their secrets came to light.

    10 Krelboyne Picnic S1E08 - 8.5

    Malcolm has to attend a picnic for his new class of geniuses and he doesn't want to embarrass himself when he has to put on an act with the other kids.

    Eldest brother Francis is home for the weekend and agrees to help Malcolm get out of it, that is until he meets a girl at the picnic and forgets the plan. Lois tries to fit in with the other genius kid's parents and has a difficult time while Hal breaks the no meat rule by serving some barbeque.

    9 Reese Joins The Army Part 2 S5E22 - 8.5

    Reese is one of the show's biggest troublemakers and shows this during this two-part episode where he runs away to join the army after his girlfriend cheats on him with his younger brother Malcolm. Chaos ensues as Reese gets himself and his team captured during their training exercises and the secondary plot continues.

    The first part saw Hal arrested for possible criminal activity at his job and the evidence keeps piling up against him as this episode shows Hal on trial.

    8 If Boys Were Girls S4E10 - 8.6

    It wouldn’t be a sitcom without a wish-fulfillment episode, would it? Here, it’s Lois who imagines a new world that the fans get to watch play out. After a stressful trip to the mall with her sons, Lois wonders what it would have been like to have daughters instead.

    What she imagines reveals that her daughters might not have been physically destructive, but they’d become even more emotionally manipulative than the boys she’s raising. It’s an interesting window into Lois’ imagination, especially considering she still hopes she’s going to have a daughter at the end of the episode.

    7 Rollerskates S1E13 - 8.6

    This season one episode reversed a bit of the usual dynamic. While Hal was often unaware of what activities the boys got up to, this time he was responsible for punishing Malcolm. Tired of running during hockey games, Malcolm decides to ask his father to teach him to skate. His temper gets the better of him during lessons, leading him to yell at Hal and use a curse word.

    Lois has no time to deal with it, despite Hal asking for help, because she injured her back and Reese has been slipping medicine into her drinks to keep her calm. Hal eventually comes up with a creative way to get Malcolm to understand his actions - making him recite insults and curse words directly to his father. The episode is a nice change from the norm and demonstrates that Hal isn’t so hapless, while Malcolm gets to best Reese at a sport.

    6 Traffic Jam S2E01 - 8.6

    While on the way home from a water park, the family ends up stuck in a massive traffic jam. Hal lets a car pass them, and that car ends up in an accident that brings all traffic to a standstill. As a result of the accident, Lois spends her time yelling at officials trying to do their jobs, Hal freaks out that it could have been their car, Malcolm develops a crush on a girl stuck in traffic as well, and Reese goes to war with an ice cream vendor.

    If all that wasn’t enough to entertain the audience, Dewey’s on his own adventure home. There is so much to keep the audience laughing that it isn’t surprising it ranks as one of the best episodes of the series.

    5 Family Reunion S4E03 - 8.7

    As miserable as Lois typically makes her boys, they’re still family. In “Family Reunion”, the audience gets to see what happens when the boys decide to be on the same side as Lois.

    The family attends a reunion of Hal’s side of the family. While there, Lois is treated horribly by Hal’s father and everyone else. They dislike her because she doesn’t have as much money as them - or at least, that’s their excuse to ridicule Lois and keep her from the family photo. Her sons unite to terrorize the adults assembled at the reunion in revenge.

    4 Water Park S1E16 - 8.7

    Season one ended with a family trip. Lois, Hal, Reese, and Malcolm went to a water park for a day of fun in the sun. Of course, because it’s Malcolm in the Middle , the day doesn’t go as planned. Hal and Lois just want to be young and carefree again, so they sneak some adult beverages into the park, intending to spend some time away from the kids.

    Malcolm and Reese, however, ruin that by attempting to pull pranks on one another. The bright spot in the episode might be Bea Arthur’s guest-starring appearance. She plays the woman babysitting Dewey while he’s home with an ear infection. Golden Girls fans loved seeing her back on TV.

    3 Lois Strikes Back S7E16 - 8.8

    Though Lois usually spends her time trying to discipline her sons, in season seven, a surprising turn of events had her on the side of at least one of them.

    In “Lois Strikes Back,” Reese is the target of a prank by several girls at school. When Reese becomes depressed, Lois decides to get revenge for him. Only Malcolm figures out she’s the one making the girls’ lives miserable, and he attempts to stop her. It’s unsettling to see a mother of five picking on teenage girls, but perhaps fans like it so much because it’s one of Emma Stone’s earlier roles.

    2 Graduation S7E22 - 9.1

    The series finale keeps all of the tropes of Malcolm In The Middle in place. As Malcolm and Reese graduate from high school, they’re in for life changes, but the more things change, the more they stay the same. Both Reese and Francis find new paths in life, but they keep them from Lois so they can pursue their happiness without interference.

    It’s a lesson Malcolm probably should have learned by this episode. He would have received an offer for his dream job, but his mother turns it down on his behalf, leaving him to put himself through college because the family can’t afford to pay for it. As usual, Lois finds a way to make Malcolm’s life more difficult. Also, as usual, Malcolm finds a way to keep going in spite of her.

    1 Bowling S2E20 - 9.3

    The top episode of Malcolm in the Middle comes from early in the run. Near the end of the second season, the writers took a creative risk with an episode fans clearly loved.

    “Bowling” sees Malcolm and Reese go, you guessed it, bowling in a Sliding Doors style set up. The audience gets to see what would happen if Lois took them, but also what would happen if Hal took them. The episode highlights their different parenting styles incredibly well and demonstrates that no matter what, Malcolm and Reese never get exactly what they want.

    Updated on December 23rd, 2020 by Kristen Palamara: Malcolm in the Middle has stayed a popular sitcom even after being off the air for almost 15 years. People still love the show and there are talks of a possible revival happening showing that everyone still loves the show and would love to see the great cast return to these characters. The Wilkerson family has stuck with viewers for years, here are the top-rated episodes from the series!

    15 Pilot S1E01 - 8.4

    The pilot episode of the series introduces the whole Wilkerson family and focuses on Malcolm, the middle son, as he narrates the entire episode like the rest of the series.

    It's revealed in the first episode that Malcolm has a genius-level IQ so he's moved into a special class, the Krelboyne class, that is full of other genius kids like himself. Malcolm has a difficult time adjusting during the pilot.

    14 Lois's Birthday S2E03 - 8.4

    This episode sees Lois's disastrous birthday as she gives each of the kids $10 to give her a present and instead they all pool it together to buy something else for themselves.

    Her husband, Hal, also forgets her birthday, which of course makes things even worse. Lois escapes the family to let off some steam at the batting cages, but the family tries their best to make it up to her while Francis brings home a new girlfriend.

    13 Evacuation S2E24 - 8.4

    Hal attempts to take the family's old couch to the dump, but accidentally loses it on the trip and causes a train accident that affects the entire town. Hal tries to make it up to everyone to no avail at first while his kids get into trouble.

    Dewey tries to make everyone believe that he's an orphan while Reese starts a black market system and Malcolm is grounded. There's also a storyline where Francis goes on a completely unique double date.

    12 Red Dress S1E02 - 8.4

    Only the second episode, “Red Dress” happened to be the most-watched episodes of the first season when it aired. It’s not a perfect episode, but it’s a great snapshot of what the show had in store. Lois and Hal are supposed to celebrate their anniversary. While Hal waits at the restaurant, Lois finds her perfect red dress burned in the bathroom.

    So sure that one of the boys did it, she spends the entire night punishing them instead of going to dinner. For their part, Malcolm and Reese call their older brother Francis for help dealing with her. Of course, it was Hal who accidentally ruined the dress, though no one finds that out. The war between Lois and her sons, while Hal is oblivious, and Francis off on his own adventure is a template for the entire run of the show.

    11 New Neighbors S2E13 - 8.4

    For once in the series, the hostility and backstabbing isn’t directed at one another but instead, outside the family. When “New Neighbors” move in, almost all the members of Malcolm’s family have new enemies.

    The kids and the moms can’t stand one another and continually make one another’s lives miserable. Hal, however, makes friends with the new dad. The two have to keep their friendship a secret from everyone in a twist on a clandestine affair. The story could have made for a great recurring theme in the series, but the new family left town by the end of the episode when one of their secrets came to light.

    10 Krelboyne Picnic S1E08 - 8.5

    Malcolm has to attend a picnic for his new class of geniuses and he doesn't want to embarrass himself when he has to put on an act with the other kids.

    Eldest brother Francis is home for the weekend and agrees to help Malcolm get out of it, that is until he meets a girl at the picnic and forgets the plan. Lois tries to fit in with the other genius kid's parents and has a difficult time while Hal breaks the no meat rule by serving some barbeque.

    9 Reese Joins The Army Part 2 S5E22 - 8.5

    Reese is one of the show's biggest troublemakers and shows this during this two-part episode where he runs away to join the army after his girlfriend cheats on him with his younger brother Malcolm. Chaos ensues as Reese gets himself and his team captured during their training exercises and the secondary plot continues.

    The first part saw Hal arrested for possible criminal activity at his job and the evidence keeps piling up against him as this episode shows Hal on trial.

    8 If Boys Were Girls S4E10 - 8.6

    It wouldn’t be a sitcom without a wish-fulfillment episode, would it? Here, it’s Lois who imagines a new world that the fans get to watch play out. After a stressful trip to the mall with her sons, Lois wonders what it would have been like to have daughters instead.

    What she imagines reveals that her daughters might not have been physically destructive, but they’d become even more emotionally manipulative than the boys she’s raising. It’s an interesting window into Lois’ imagination, especially considering she still hopes she’s going to have a daughter at the end of the episode.

    7 Rollerskates S1E13 - 8.6

    This season one episode reversed a bit of the usual dynamic. While Hal was often unaware of what activities the boys got up to, this time he was responsible for punishing Malcolm. Tired of running during hockey games, Malcolm decides to ask his father to teach him to skate. His temper gets the better of him during lessons, leading him to yell at Hal and use a curse word.

    Lois has no time to deal with it, despite Hal asking for help, because she injured her back and Reese has been slipping medicine into her drinks to keep her calm. Hal eventually comes up with a creative way to get Malcolm to understand his actions - making him recite insults and curse words directly to his father. The episode is a nice change from the norm and demonstrates that Hal isn’t so hapless, while Malcolm gets to best Reese at a sport.

    6 Traffic Jam S2E01 - 8.6

    While on the way home from a water park, the family ends up stuck in a massive traffic jam. Hal lets a car pass them, and that car ends up in an accident that brings all traffic to a standstill. As a result of the accident, Lois spends her time yelling at officials trying to do their jobs, Hal freaks out that it could have been their car, Malcolm develops a crush on a girl stuck in traffic as well, and Reese goes to war with an ice cream vendor.

    If all that wasn’t enough to entertain the audience, Dewey’s on his own adventure home. There is so much to keep the audience laughing that it isn’t surprising it ranks as one of the best episodes of the series.

    5 Family Reunion S4E03 - 8.7

    As miserable as Lois typically makes her boys, they’re still family. In “Family Reunion”, the audience gets to see what happens when the boys decide to be on the same side as Lois.

    The family attends a reunion of Hal’s side of the family. While there, Lois is treated horribly by Hal’s father and everyone else. They dislike her because she doesn’t have as much money as them - or at least, that’s their excuse to ridicule Lois and keep her from the family photo. Her sons unite to terrorize the adults assembled at the reunion in revenge.

    4 Water Park S1E16 - 8.7

    Season one ended with a family trip. Lois, Hal, Reese, and Malcolm went to a water park for a day of fun in the sun. Of course, because it’s Malcolm in the Middle , the day doesn’t go as planned. Hal and Lois just want to be young and carefree again, so they sneak some adult beverages into the park, intending to spend some time away from the kids.

    Malcolm and Reese, however, ruin that by attempting to pull pranks on one another. The bright spot in the episode might be Bea Arthur’s guest-starring appearance. She plays the woman babysitting Dewey while he’s home with an ear infection. Golden Girls fans loved seeing her back on TV.

    3 Lois Strikes Back S7E16 - 8.8

    Though Lois usually spends her time trying to discipline her sons, in season seven, a surprising turn of events had her on the side of at least one of them.

    In “Lois Strikes Back,” Reese is the target of a prank by several girls at school. When Reese becomes depressed, Lois decides to get revenge for him. Only Malcolm figures out she’s the one making the girls’ lives miserable, and he attempts to stop her. It’s unsettling to see a mother of five picking on teenage girls, but perhaps fans like it so much because it’s one of Emma Stone’s earlier roles.

    2 Graduation S7E22 - 9.1

    The series finale keeps all of the tropes of Malcolm In The Middle in place. As Malcolm and Reese graduate from high school, they’re in for life changes, but the more things change, the more they stay the same. Both Reese and Francis find new paths in life, but they keep them from Lois so they can pursue their happiness without interference.

    It’s a lesson Malcolm probably should have learned by this episode. He would have received an offer for his dream job, but his mother turns it down on his behalf, leaving him to put himself through college because the family can’t afford to pay for it. As usual, Lois finds a way to make Malcolm’s life more difficult. Also, as usual, Malcolm finds a way to keep going in spite of her.

    1 Bowling S2E20 - 9.3

    The top episode of Malcolm in the Middle comes from early in the run. Near the end of the second season, the writers took a creative risk with an episode fans clearly loved.

    “Bowling” sees Malcolm and Reese go, you guessed it, bowling in a Sliding Doors style set up. The audience gets to see what would happen if Lois took them, but also what would happen if Hal took them. The episode highlights their different parenting styles incredibly well and demonstrates that no matter what, Malcolm and Reese never get exactly what they want.

    Совсем запутался с тобой

    Well, I don’t know why I came here tonight,
    I got the feeling that something ain’t right.
    I’m so scared in case I'll fall off my chair,
    And I’m wondering how I’ll get down the stairs.
    Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
    Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

    Yes, I’m stuck in the middle with you,
    And I’m wondering what it is I should do.
    It’s so hard to keep this smile from my face,
    Losing control, yeah, I’m all over the place.
    Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
    Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

    Well, you started off with nothing,
    And you’re proud that you’re a self-made man.
    And your family comes a-callin',
    Slap you on the back and say, “Please, please.”

    Trying to make some sense of it all,
    But I can see it makes no sense at all.
    Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
    Well, I don't think I can take anymore.
    Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
    Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

    Что ж, я не знаю, зачем пришел сегодня сюда,
    Я просто чувствую, что что-то идет не так.
    Я буду напуган, если упаду со стула,
    Интересно, как я буду спускаться по лестнице?
    Клоуны слева от меня, шуты — справа,
    А я посередине совсем запутался с тобой.

    Да, я совсем запутался с тобой,
    И понятия не имею, что мне делать.
    Трудновато убрать эту ухмылку с лица,
    Я теряю контроль, да, я повсюду.
    Клоуны слева от меня, шуты — справа,
    А я посередине совсем запутался с тобой.

    Что ж, ты начинаешь с нуля,
    Гордишься тем, что добился всего сам,
    И твоя семья приходит по первому зову,
    Хлопает тебя по спине и говорит «Пожалуйста. »

    Я пытаюсь найти в этом какой-то смысл,
    Но смысла, похоже, нет.
    Интересно, как оно — спать на полу?
    По-моему, мне этого больше не выдержать.
    Клоуны слева от меня, шуты — справа,
    А я посередине совсем запутался с тобой.

    Гордишься тем, что добился всего сам,
