malcolm in the middle be important for a very strange reason represent much less the drew carey show and it one of those example where the show last three season long than it have to and and become one of those strange abondoncoms in which anybody who work on the show be recognize for be on the show and but have to remind everybody that it wasn not cancel three year ago . it be just shift off to compete against survivor or something more culturally relevant . or get the fabled futurama deathslot before the important simpson or seth mcfarlane trifecta . do this mean it be a good show . honestly and it suffer greatly from the puberty curse . take a glimpse at the hyped erie finale it clear that the show probably would have be well serve if it just give up the ghost about three year ago . the situation be effective for small child and but when those child be sport horrible acne and cracking voice and and puberty mustache it come off a sad and desperate . in fact and when it come down to history and malcolm in the middle can be sum up in two way represent1 ) a a skit on family guy that showcases how annoy the mother be . 2 ) a more ammo against frankie muniz when his career turn into game show appearances or episode of cop a the perfect juxtaposition between itcom family life and child predator or drunken mess or druggie or meth addict who get catch urinate in a gutter and beat by cop . malcolm be an example of sitcom day go by . if this ran on nbc during the big cheer or seinfeld or friend decade and then it would have ran for nine year and support on big show . but those time be go and perhaps forever and and it hard to see how this show be go to make an impact when nobody remember it exist until the series finale be use a gum to keep people watch until family guy . unfortunately for this reviewer and that ploy do not work . malcolm in the middle be dead and but that not the bad news . the bad news be that people think it be already dead and and see how lame the situation become and perhaps it would have be good if it have .
