Our take on Malcolm in the Middle
This fast, fourth-wall-breaking sitcom follows a gifted boy stuck in the middle of a loud, chaotic, dysfunctional family doing its best to survive everyday life. Manic, sharp and surprisingly heartfelt, it redefined the family comedy. If its anarchic energy and family chaos made you laugh, seek out single-camera family sitcoms that find warmth and wit in beautifully imperfect households.
