The Cleavers they ain't. Mom is a screaming control freak, Dad is a goofy human hairball, oldest son Francis escaped the family at a young age, Reese is just criminal, Dewey is a space cadet and young Jamie is the scapegoat. The middle kid, Malcolm (who delivers the narrative for the capers of this whacked-out clan) is a brainiac who doesn't want to be burdened by his genius.

Ed R @JustcallmeER Apr 27, 2026 Another glorious and brilliant season! See more KATIE ELIANA B @KATIEELIANA Jan 6, 2025 Buena y mejor que la segunda temporada es más memorable See more Mar 24, 2021 I mean how cynical do you have to be to check if this season isn't a let down. It is perfect! Just like the prior ones. See more Sep 17, 2017 This season was a step up, and may be my favorite season of the series! I do feel like the first two were a bit more like what the show is/should be, maybe, but it's still good, and not too far off! I had a lot of highly rated episodes, because it raised the average episode rating! I also never got to have any not freshly rated episodes! Also a lot of consistently good streaks! Maybe I'll do my favorite episodes of the series in the last/final season review! This was supposed to be written yesterday, 9/16/17, but is being written today, 9/17/17.! See more Read all reviews
