A gifted young teen tries to survive with his dimwitted, dysfunctional family.

His older brother has been shipped to a military academy. His younger brother is a wound up oddball. With his parents constantly bickering, MALCOLM (Frankie Muniz) may be the only normal one in his family. Using direct camera address, wide angle distortion, and a machine gun delivery, this sitcom derived its popularity from pulling no punches when lampooning the dysfunctional family. This box set contains the complete Emmy-nominated first series. The comedy benefits from a strong supporting cast including Jane Kaczmarek as the matriarch.
