I don't see any problem with letting someone that is 10+ watch the show. Why are all you people in my age range acting like its extremely bad for kids? If this is violent to you, try watching Dexter instead. Your jaw will drop.
Just Don't Talk to Anyone...If you want to go to common sense media...you don't have to, we all know better.
on CSM, If you search "Malcolm in the Middle","Family Matters","George Lopez","Roseanne","Home Improvement","Everybody Hates Crhis"... you'll be alright. If you search "!@#$%^&*()_+", maybe not. The Most Inappropriate Thing on CommonSense Media gets this a No 12th grade or Under Zone... just don't look for inappropriate words.
Malcolm in the middle is a grate show but sometimes it gets a little crazy and viloent.But other than that it rocks for tweens and teenagers.But not for kids under nine.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TIMES 10
I love this show. Started watching when it came on Nick At Night. It is like our family (seriously, My youngest brother is like Dewey, my other bother though is like Reese, I'm Malcom, my mom Lois, and my dad Hal). My brother 8 and 10 love this show along with my parents. It is halarious. The funnist episodes aare Halloween, If girls were boys, and flashback.
This show is as funny as hell. I really love the humor in this show. But I wouldn't recommend it to a little child, because they use potty-mouth language.
A great, catchy theme song is the first part to a great family sitcom, and Malcolm in the Middle hit it off, believe me. Some implied nudity here and there, and some salty language, but there are actually good messages and role models, alongside one product-placing reference to Mortal Kombat (remember, guys? No one beats Sub-Zero?) but not much to worry about in this great TV show. Good for preteens and up, in my view.
This is a great, humorous show that, depending on your age and maturity can become a great family show. Many people would say that some of it connects to real life and shows like "dexters laboratory" and "looney toons" don't at all. Violence? Nah. More cartoons than real life shows contain violence. Such as Tom and Jerry, which point is violence and nothing else. This show is not for everybody though. The scenes prove to be for older children and adults. I don't recommend Malcolm in the Middle to everybody though.
A decently funny show but it comes across as a kid-friendly show which it isn't 100%. There are many references and implications to sex.
The kids aren't very good role models but they're definatley funny. Also, there is some "swearing" such as h*ll and d*mn.
