Malcolm in the Middle: Season 4

2002
Skewering the surface serenity of suburban family life, this Emmy-winning sitcom returns for another unapologetically irreverent season, following the ups and (more frequent) downs of put-upon teen prodigy Malcolm (Frankie Muniz). In Season 4, while Hal and Lois prepare for the arrival of the latest addition to the family, Reese (Justin Berfield) throws a blowout party, and Malcolm devises a plot to be sent away to military school.

In the Emmy-winning sitcom's sixth season, the family faces hard times when Hal (Bryan Cranston) loses his job. Later, Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan) tries his hand at writing opera, and Lois (Jane Kaczmarek) enters a beauty pageant.
