Malcolm in the Middle is an American sitcom created by Linwood Boomer for the Fox Network.
The show starred Frankie Múñiz as Malcolm, the third-born of four, five late in the series (and possibly six, in the last episode), sons of Lois (Jane Kaczmarek) and Hal (Bryan Cranston). The oldest, Francis (Christopher Masterson), was shipped off to military school, leaving three brothers: Reese (Justin Berfield), Malcolm (Frankie Muniz), Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan) and starting in season four Jamie (James and Lukas Rodriguez in the later seasons) living at home, Malcolm being the middle child still at home (hence the show's title). The show's early seasons centered on Malcolm and the rigors of being an adolescent and enduring an eccentric, although eerily normal, life. Later seasons gradually explored the other members of the family and their friends in more depth.

Many episodes revolve around Malcolm's attempts to reconcile his genius-level 165 IQ with his desire to lead what he would consider a normal social life. However, Malcolm remains a social outcast in school. In middle school, Malcolm uncomfortably socializes with his fellow Krelboynes, but when the group moves on to high school, they no longer have classes together and stop interacting. Malcolm and Reese, particularly toward the end of the series, have no discernible group of friends. At this point, the only people Malcolm interacts with socially on a regular basis are his family, his genius best friend Stevie Kenarban, and a handful of short-term girlfriends. In fact, in one episode where the family went to Burning-Man, Malcolm had sex with a woman a little younger than his mom, However after she couldn't see him anymore, none of the family knew he had sex.
