This is one hilarious series.I love it.I,ve videotaped almost every show and added it to my ever expanding vhs library.This family reminds me a lot of a family my parents and I used to know,during my childhood days.The kids in that family often cracked me up too.Which seems to show how wild and crazy households can be hilariously funny.Even in real life.

I'm glad I was the only kid in the household, and my son is an only child. We like it quiet.

i suppose quiet is good. but, yeah, it doesn't make for good tv. Arrested Development has a similarly funny family. It airs right after Malcolm in the Middle. have you seen it? there are clips here (http://www.buzztone.com/arresteddev/ )
