Malcolm in the Middle
Malcolm in the Middle is a situation comedy on the Fox Network. It first aired in 2000.
It stars Frankie Muniz as Malcolm, the third oldest of five boys in the Wilkerson family (hence the name "Malcolm in the Middle"). Originally there were only four children (although Malcolm's eldest brother attended a military school away from home, so he was still the middle child left at home). The fifth child, a new baby, was introduced in the show's fourth season, although it was not made clear what sex the child was until the beginning of the fifth season (a boy).
At the beginning of the series, Malcolm is discovered to have a very high IQ, and is put in an intellectually gifted class. The show centers around Malcolm and his dysfunctional family's life.
The show's theme song, "Boss of Me," was recorded by They Might Be Giants.
It airs in Canada on the Global Television Network. It is also shown in Britain on Sky One and then BBC2 a few months later, and in Australia, it is aired by Nine network. In Mexico it is aired in Spanish on Channel Five (XHGC) of Televisa. In Israel it is aired on Bip Channel, The Comedy Channel.
