Trivia:

None of Malcom's family have a last name. While in military school, Frances was referred to only as "Frances" and never by his last name. Reece joins the army and we learn the last name of his fake ID is "Jetson" but there is no indication that that is his real name.

Goofs:

Boom mic visible: In the Pilot episode, Malcolm and Stevie are in his room. When Stevie is talking you can see the boom mic poking out at the bottom left part of the screen

It So Full Of Mischief That You Will Like It.

This is without doubt the most entertaining family show on TV. Why? Because it not the same boring story that you normally see in family show – that at the end they will forgive and forget each family member for the wrong they have done.

Story: One family, Two Parents, Fours Boys from hell – What could go right? Yeah all you see here is the mischief, and more mischief. The real life situation which being transform into a total hilarious story. That what make Malcolm so special and it very unique story for each week make this make this series fool-proof from boredom, cause you'll never know what next.

There's hardly anything to complain about this series (maybe just one thing – Lois voice while screaming which is Very irritating). Otherwise this is a highly recommended family TV shows especially when you look for hard laugh and a heart worming story.

Recommendation: Watch It!!!! Unless You Hate People Screaming.

Rating: 8.5/ 10 (Grade: A)
