Malcolm In The Middle’s second season is the series’ best for several of the reasons discussed last week. Not only did the precocious first year discover that the utilization of Jane Kaczmarek and Bryan Cranston was seminal to the show’s comic appeal — thereby allowing Two to benefit from already knowing that it must feature the parents well — the premise of Malcolm being ordinary at home yet extraordinary out in the world has also remained new enough to be routinely invoked in story, especially via the concept of the Krelboynes, the gifted class to which he belongs. In other words, this season boasts the classic intersection of novelty (of premise) and knowingness (of character) that typically makes for a peak era.
