Pros: Very hilarious, great characters

Pros: Hilarious
Cons: Only a 1/2 hour long
Summary: This show is truly worthy of the term 'comedy'. First of all, it replaces that dreadful half hour of Futurama, for which I can't even think of a sufficient insult. But Malcolm does more than just fill the gap between the Simpsons and the X-Files. Viewers ... read more

Pros: live action Simpsons
Cons: death once it leaves Sunday night's line-up
Summary: Fox has a tendency to release shows that suck, so I took caution going into show. I didn't want this to be another reject like Costello was for the network, but I was set on giving it a try. It got some high praise from many places, including my home ... read more

Pros: N/A.
Cons: Pretty obvious from my review.
Summary: I’ll have to disagree with The New York Times, The LA Times, and Details Magazine on this one. As much as I’ve tried (and I really do *try* to give every show the benefit of the doubt,) I cannot sing the praises for this Godawful show.

Pros: Frankie Munoz
Cons: rest of cast
Summary: I first saw the young Frankie Munoz at a local Hartford Stage Company Production over the summer. The play "The Death of Papa" was a flop, but it was clear that the young boy had talent. The same is true for his new Fox TV Show. Fox adds to its ... read more

Pros: Makes you laugh or smile : )
Cons: It's only on one a week! : )
Summary: This show is truly a work of art. Finally a show that let's us relate to our everyday dysfunctional families, if not make them look better. The comedy in the show is great and I had to laugh out loud a couple of times. The characters were well thought ... read more

Pros: portrayal of the family
Cons: a few slow moments in the script
Summary: Like most other intelligent Americans, I watch the Simpsons. Also, like most Americans (intelligent and otherwise) I listen to what the television tells me to do. So when the every commercial break in the Simpsons contained an ad for Malcolm in the ... read more

Pros: great comedy, hilarious becuase you can relate to it
Cons: weak plots
Summary: This show is hilarious. While the plots may not be very witty, the acting and ideas behind them are hilarious. The show is usually based around a single incident in which the family goes crazy and does all sorts of hilarious things to solve it. This ... read more

Pros: Promising, Good Characters
Cons: Not funny yet
Summary: This show reminds me of the wonder years, if it was set today, and played as a typical Fox show. Maybe it's because the main character Malcolm talks alot like Kevin Arnold. This show would like to think it is a live action Simpsons, it's not, it somewhat ... read more

Pros: Humorous Adult Program
Cons: Adult Humor NOT for kids!
Summary: The jury is still out on Malcolm In the Middle. I tell you one thing, this is NOT a show for children. Unless you want your child watching a preteen talk like a sailor, watch as the dad stands buck naked in front of his kids in the kitchen while his wife ... read more

Judging by the success of America's favorite animated family, the execs at FOX were smart to make another comedy ... read more
