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.

Those of you who have followed Malcolm... ought to know better than to doubt for a second the savage savvy of Lois in her solitary splendor. All in one, she is Mother Jones, Mother Courage, Mother Goose, Mother Superior - and Pol Pot. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ed R @JustcallmeER May 8, 2026 Continuous humor throughout the season thus far. See more Mar 24, 2021 Oh boy isn't this great! A series that goes on and on and nothing about it is bad:) See more Sep 30, 2017 Coming off the great Season 5, it's just not as good. But, this does at least have a few of my favorite episodes! I also miss Francis, and to be honest, Otto wasn't that bad! Why'd they get rid of Francis? He wasn't in nearly as many episodes! I always saw that he was credited as being in every episode, and now I was disappointed because he wasn't! I think a few season reviews ago, I think I mentioned saying my favorite episodes in the last season review. I'm going to do that in this upcoming Season 7 review! See more Read all reviews
