Well... Malcolm in the middle is a veeery funny series. The show starred Frankie Muniz as Malcolm, the third-born of four, then five later in the series (six, in the last episode), sons of Lois (Jane Kaczmarek) and Hal (Bryan Cranston). The eldest, 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 genius and enduring an eccentric, although eerily normal, life. Later seasons gradually explored the other members of the family and their friends in more depth.
The series was different from many others in that Malcolm broke the fourth wall and talked directly to the viewer; it was shot using a single camera; and it used neither a laugh track nor a live studio audience, just sound effects. Emulating the style of hour-long dramas, this half-hour show was shot on film instead of video. Another unique aspect is that the cold open of every episode is unrelated to the main story. Exceptions were episodes which were the conclusions of "two-parters"; these episodes opened with a summary of part one and Bryan Cranston (Hal) saying "Previously on Malcolm in the Middle" in a humorous manner.
So anyway I really like you to take a look at all the actors and maybe listen to the song (which I like VERY much), when the episode is starting, you know...
So... First the actors:
Frankie Muniz as Malcolm
and old Malcolm 
Next, his bigger brother Reese, Justin Berfield
and old 
Then the oldest brother Christopher Masterson as Francis
(middle)
And the youngest brother Dewey,Erik Per Sulivan
Jane Kaczmarek as Lois the angry mother
And Hal, Bryan Cranston.
and Now the song :
and some more pictures:
LOL
