Guide-Malcolm In The Middle
Written
by Rick Ellis, February 7th, 2000 (updated September 20th, 2000)
Nine-year-old
Malcolm, the middle child, has a genius IQ, brothers who tear
each other apart and parents who struggle to keep it all together.
Welcome to
Malcolm In the Middle, an edgy new family comedy seen through
the eyes of a highly intelligent fourth-grader. To say the Wilkerson
family is unconventional is putting it mildly, but despite the
insanity, Malcolm is insightful, precocious and above all, normal.
In fact, young Malcolm is perfectly content playing with his brothers,
skateboarding or avoiding the school bully - in other words, being
an average kid.
His world
is suddenly turned upside down when he is forced into the "gifted"
class and finds himself surrounded by a group of exceptionally
talented outcasts.
Creator Linwood
Boomer (3rd Rock From the Sun) has masterfully created
a colorfully dysfunctional family with a hilariously observant
little boy at its core. With his endearing yet cynical wit, Malcolm
navigates his way through the sometimes treacherous, always entertaining
waters of the adult world.
