Sitcoms! Yes, they are not as popular as they once were back in the 90s and 2000s. Still, many of them are solid and impressive enough to lure people towards them, such as Seinfeld (1989-1998), Friends (1994-2004), The Simpsons (1989-present), The Office (2005-2013), Parks and Recreation (2009-2015), and many more. People love watching sitcoms as they entertain them with a unique blend of humour. This is why, we recommend you all to watch a highly underrated sitcom, Malcolm in the Middle, starring Bryan Cranston.
‘Malcolm in the Middle’ revolves around the misadventures of a lower-class lovable family, specifically focusing on the middle child, Malcolm, a child prodigy. Alongside him, we see his brothers, Dewey, Reece, and Francis, and his parents, Lois and Hal. The show primarily focuses on Malcolm’s life and his family’s misadventures. In addition, it sheds light on their inability to fit into society, with Malcolm regularly addressing the audience.
One of the most notable features of the show is its unique format, which often breaks the fourth wall and tries to connect with viewers through Malcolm. In addition, the show benefits from its clever sense of humour. Moreover, the characters’ eccentricities and their habit of often finding themselves in chaotic situations contributed significantly towards the series’ success.
The show also has a phenomenal cast, led by Frankie Muniz and featuring Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek as parents. Cranston’s portrayal of quirky, immature, and often clueless father, Hal, received acclaim from fans and critics.
‘Malcolm in the Middle’ has seven seasons, consisting of 151 episodes. You can stream the show on Disney+ Hotstar.
