Malcolm in the Middle

Malcolm in the Middle

The Cleavers they ain't. Mom is a screaming control freak, Dad is a goofy human hairball, oldest son Francis escaped the family at a young age, Reese is just criminal, Dewey is a space cadet and young Jamie is the scapegoat. The middle kid, Malcolm (who delivers the narrative for the capers of this wacked-out clan) is a brainiac who doesn't want to be burdened by his genius.
