There are few sitcoms from the early 2000s as influential as "Malcolm in the Middle." (https://www.looper.com/988854/the-untold-truth-of-malcolm-in-the-middle/) Not only is the show a stylistic breath of fresh air, it captures the messy and chaotic lives of American teenagers in a way few network sitcoms ever had before. It strips away the pristine family tropes the genre had become known for, and introduces a more down-to-earth portrayal of the dynamics at work in many middle class families. What results is something utterly irresistible.
While "Malcolm in the Middle" aired its ending (https://www.looper.com/1005433/the-ending-of-malcolm-in-the-middle-explained/) back in 2006, the show's endearing characters, timeless humor, and great performances have given it major staying power among audiences. So it was no surprise that fans were elated to hear star Frankie Muniz spill the beans about a potential revival being spearheaded by Bryan Cranston (per Fox News (https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/malcolm-middle-star-frankie-muniz-reveals-why-briefly-left-hollywood)). While it isn't a sure thing, news of this potential reboot will no doubt encourage old and new fans alike to give the original show another watch. That means there's never been a more perfect time to look back on the series' best installments ... or its worst. From clip show disasters to thrilling revenge capers, these are the 7 best and 7 worst episodes of "Malcolm in the Middle."
