funny, but needs parental guidance
We, as a family, watched the show a few years back and it wasn't quite so objectionable then. As the kids in the show have aged--and time has gone on, it has gotten more controversial. The subject matter is not, in my opinion, for kids under about age 12...Unless you want them exposed to drug references, sexual discussion and references, etc. The language isn't necessary either, to make the show funny.

As an adult, I can appreciate the wit and humor, but I don't want my kids exposed. I was surprised Nick has included this show in it's lineup. There isn't one character that I would be okay letting my kids learn anything from.

Funny
This show is so funny, last night it was just like, her sons turned to nice daughters. "And I know that making sex is wrong." "You got pregnant!" "And she was only dating him because I LIKED HIM!" Ha Ha and there is a lot of naked people and an occasoinal D**n ass crap etc. 10+

It's tempting to watch this show because it is funny, but it promotes really bad behavior that could be copied by kids who don't know any better.

It's hard to believe that Malcolm In The Middle first premiered on Fox ten years ago in 2000. Since then, it seems like many shows on TV have been influenced in some form by Malcolm. It's a great show for tweens and up, but it's an edgy family sitcom with some of the quirkiest characters ever created. Some episodes have inappropriate sexual content and language, but it can be overlooked through the show's sharp writing and great acting. I have to agree with other reviewers that the early seasons were the best. Malcolm was always a cartoony family sitcom with goofy situations, but later seasons of the show practically turn it into a satire with an overload of awkward humor and over-the-top wackiness that imitates The Office and Family Guy. This change in tone made its audience abandon the show and helped lead to its cancellation in 2006. Since the complete series has not been released on DVD, you can only watch Malcolm on Nick@Nite in primetime Sunday-Thursday starting at 8/7c (Monday at 8:30/7:30c) and FX in daytime.

Advice for grades 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Long time, I watched it in Kids Quest, it's in Red Rock. These boys are watching it. It's ona my fave shows on Nick@Nite! I can't believe they recommend it to 13+...something that's okay for 13-year-olds...Ten year olds are even allowed to watch it :-). I didn't know what the title is when I watched it on the FOX 5 channel since 3, 4 or maybe 5 years old. 7-year-olds(even older) can watch it, too. Not as bad as Strawberry Shortcake. These boys are in a show, too. Not Just Girls. All Ages Can Watch It. but Here's An Advice for Kids Ages 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. I would give a Zero Star which means that I don't think any kid under 11 should be watching MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE in school because of these 1000 concerns and 0 Highlights, But if you watch it at home That's good and it gives us 7 concerns and 2 highlights. 1-2 stars, You're copying the bad behavior. 3 stars, If you don't copy the Bad Behavior. 4 stars, You're doing very good at copying the Good Behavior. 5 stars, If you didn't watch any baby show even in 6th Grade. If It's One of my Favorite Shows, I'll give it a 6 star in it, Okay? good for 7+ even 10 year olds, but i found the show again at 9 years old. You can watch it in somewhere else if 7 stars.

Laugh yourself stupid!
You can watch this show no matter what mood you're in and walk away laughing!!! It basically follows the members of an American disfunctional family. Dewey, the youngest, is so kool - I want one!!!
Although the old episodes were fantastic, the new season is just as good.

Not for young kids.
I don't recommened this for younger kids, because it promotes yelling and disrespect for parents. But my 14 year old daughter and I watch it sometimes. I guess you just have to pick the right episodes, because some are really funny.

Hilarious!
This show is funny and entertaining! It is one of my favorites. Although it may not be appropriate for viewers under 12 because of language and social behavior, I think that everyone else will enjoy Malcolm and his family as much as I do.

Hilarious at first....and then it stopped being funny
You HAVE to watch the earlier episodes. THOSE are th funny ones. The later episodes are mostly just plain stupid or crude. However, you have to love the characters. They're all so unique and have their own hilarious quirks.
