Summary
Malcolm in the Middle was a sitcom released back in 2000 for Fox television and starred Frankie Muniz as the titular character. In the show, Malcolm is a young prodigy with a dysfunctional family; his mom is always at wit's end, his father is eccentric, and his brothers range from military dropouts to quiet bystanders. Malcolm tries to find his place somewhere between his family and society, where his gifts sometimes put him in more trouble than he'd hoped.
