The few friends that Malcolm actually did have, were other Krelboynes and even they would sometimes be annoyed with his egotism. They also proved on many occasions that they had no problem abandoning him or selling him in order to advantage themselves. Though Malcolm himself was more than willing to do the same thing.
Stevie is Malcolm's best friend. Stevie first becomes friends with him in the " Pilot ". Lois forced Malcolm to hang out with him because Stevie had no other friends. Malcolm was hesitant to do this at first, but he couldn't deny it because Stevie was in a wheelchair. They were put in the same accelerated learning classes throughout middle school and most of high school. Stevie has a sarcastic side, has outsmarted Malcolm and Reese numerous times, and has even managed to get the better of Reese physically on occasion.
He has been shown to be a far stronger person than both his parents even Abe admitted he was a weak, small man. Stevie has suffered from Malcolm's egotism a lot and has been driven insane by his constant talking about himself, shown most prominently in episodes such as " Future Malcolm " and " Malcolm Dates a Family ". However, Stevie has managed to deal with Malcolm's self-centered behavior and just completely ignore it. In the episode " Stevie in the Hospital ", Stevie was in the hospital and Malcolm visited him, only to rudely lash out at him and act like a jerk for a few seconds and then leave, without letting Stevie get a word in edgewise.
Instead of getting offended by this, Stevie was happy that Malcolm came. As the series progressed, Stevie eventually proved to be Malcolm's only friend in the end. Lloyd is one of Malcolm and Stevie's Krelboyne classmates and friend for the first four seasons of the show. Lloyd is portrayed as nerdy, physically and emotionally frail, and overly-dramatic. As a Krelboyne gifted student , Lloyd is often bullied by his classmates including Reese , and often suffers the consequences of schemes in which he helps Malcolm.
Lloyd suffers from anger displacement tendencies and major self esteem issues, which is why he regularly sees the school's therapist, Mrs. He has been publicly humiliated several times, most famously during "Krelboyne Picnic", when he got his braces stuck to a super-powerful magnet he built.
It is lightly hinted that he is suicidal, as it is stated by his friend, Dabney, that the majority of his ideas end in suicide, and that he has more than once made a death pact. In "Cynthia's Back", Lloyd mentions that he has a third nipple.
Like Malcolm's other Krelboyne friends, Lloyd appears less frequently during the show's fourth season, eventually leaving Stevie as Malcolm's only friend by Season 5. Interestingly, Lloyd is an undergraduate house at Cal-tech, a university well known for its emphasis on the natural sciences and engineering. Dabney is one of Malcolm and Stevie's more emotionally-stricken and flamboyant Krelboyne classmates and friends for the first four seasons of the show.
Like other Krelboyne students, Dabney is regularly bullied and often suffers the consequences of schemes with which he helps Malcolm.
Dabney has an unhealthy relationship with his mother, Doreen, who orders her son around and attempts to dominate almost all aspects of his life. However, in "Hal's Friend", after Dabney receives a paintball gun as a birthday present from his grandfather, only for Doreen to take it away, Malcolm secretly takes him to a paintball battle course, and in the process he learns to stand up for himself and adopts a no-nonsense attitude towards his mother.
Like Malcolm's other Krelboyne friends, Dabney appears less frequently during the show's fourth season, eventually leaving Stevie as Malcolm's only friend by Season 5.
Interestingly, Dabney is another undergraduate house at Cal-tech, a university well known for its emphasis on the natural sciences and engineering. Eraserhead is one of Malcolm's other Krelboyne classmates. He is seen more frequently than the other Krelboyne students but is shown to have a talent for playing the piano, and often gets involved in class theater productions. It is known he has an older brother, Alphonse, who beats Reese up in the episode "Krelboyne Picnic" after he is caught tormenting Eraserhead.
Kevin is a nervous and easily excitable Krelboyne student and one of Malcolm's friends that first appears early in the third season. It is hinted that he's berated at home, as he once exclaimed, when he got a bad grade on a test, "My stepdad's right, I am useless! Like Malcolm's other Krelboyne friends, Kevin appears less frequently in Season 4, eventually disappearing midway through the season.
Kevin's presence in the series seemed to fill the void of Eraserhead. Jessica played by Hayden Panettiere, is a teenage girl who first made an appearance as a babysitter that Hal hired so that he could take on a second job while Lois was away tending to her pregnancy. Proving to be more of a threat than initially thought, she turned out to be as scheming, conniving and manipulative as any of the boys. In later episodes, she was a frequent visitor as a neighbor who would come over to escape a negligent father.
Working again for her own benefit she proceeded to create uncomfortable situations including convincing the family to see "Mamma Mia! In the final episodes she appears in 7. After he returns to her once he ends his previous engagement, she confesses that she had once again lied.
When Malcolm is upset that he has once again fallen for one of her tricks she kisses him, responding next with 'Yeah, nothing. Much like Cynthia, her character has frequent breaks in between episodes, but unlike her, she is given much more of a back story and she appears during the last season.
In one episode she dates a very large and muscular teenager named Mike, whom Dewey uses to his advantage, in order to get Reese beaten up. A former Krelboyne himself, he became a Krelboyne teacher who, despite sharing many of Malcolm's traits and personality, hates him profoundly and does whatever he can to outdo him.
In the third season, he tries his best to make Malcolm feel small, mostly because he is less of a genius. Because of that, Malcolm has a strong sense of right, which Herkabe strongly objects to because he thinks that because he is miserable, Malcolm has to be miserable.
The only time he was actually nice to Malcolm was in Season 4's Academic Octathalon, when Herkabe had learned that he sneaked into the room, stole the results and believed he gave North High an advantage.
In Season 7, he once got Malcolm to agree to fail all of his classes intentionally, in exchange leaving Reese alone; this was so that Herkabe could keep his crowning achievement: being the record-holder of the school's highest GPA and the award that came with it.
However, Herkabe makes a big mistake: in his gloating, he casually confesses to Malcolm that during his senior year, he cheated his way out of gym class and lied about it for years in order to protect his GPA award. Malcolm got his revenge on him by telling the school principal, Mr. Hodges Steve Vinovich about it.
Herkabe loses his GPA award which is then returned to original recipient, Edna Thornby, who managed to pass gym despite being blind and clubfooted and had to retake the course again. He's last seen being humiliated by an overly excited Reese tossing dodge-balls at him out of revenge for all the humiliation he endured. Josh played by Michael Welch, was a next-door neighbor of Malcolm's and supposedly wanted to be his friend empathizing with him about his hate for Lois.
It was soon revealed that he was a pathological and conniving liar who got him into serious trouble with everyone. One night he and Reese teamed up to destroy his lies, but caught Josh's mother, Tina, cheating on her husband who was the only family member that got along with Hal with her gardener in a Jacuzzi. This embarrassed her into making her children move away from Malcolm's family to avoid having them spill the beans on the affair. Josh was never seen again, possibly embarrassed by his mother's affair with the gardener.
Many episodes showed Malcolm's biggest adversaries were his own family. Mostly Reese, Dewey, and his mother Lois. Since most of his relatives from Hal's side of the family, excluding Walter, treat Lois like dirt Malcolm and his brothers think of them as jerks except their younger cousins who helped them get revenge on Claire and Amelia for hurting Lois's feelings by cutting her out of the family photo.
Julie was Malcolm's first love interest in the series. He was in love with her back in elementary school. The two of them were good friends and Julie really liked Malcolm back, only it was unknown if she liked him back romantically or just as a friend. In the episode Funeral , Julie was introduced to Malcolm's family, which completely horrified her and brought her to the point where she started freaking out and disliking Malcolm.
She was never seen again after this, putting an end to their friendship and any chances of them becoming a couple. Jessica was a one-time love interest in the episode Traffic Jam and Malcolm's second love interest after Julie. The two of them met each other in a large traffic jam. She was from a place that was too far away from where Malcolm lived for them to meet each other regularly, so they had to make the best of their one day together.
Jessica got very deep into Malcolm's emotions and told him that he complained a lot and was always suffering from everything. She taught him how to enjoy himself and just forget about all the pain in his life. At the end of the episode, she tried giving him her phone number so they could stay in touch, but a dog grabbed the number from them and they never saw each other again. Cynthia Sanders - played by Tania Raymond, is a new and outgoing Krelboyne girl who joins Malcolm's class in the episode " Krelboyne Girl.
She knows Krav Maga, which she promptly uses to subdue Reese when his behavior becomes too annoying to her. She is later cited as also having very large breasts for her age.
In the episode " Cynthia's Back ", her prolonged absence is explained by stating that she was on a long trip to Europe. After sharing a brief romance with Reese in which he is only trying to take advantage of her to see her breasts , she returns in the Season 4 episode " Humilithon ," saving Malcolm from making a horrible mistake by saying they had sex; destroying her own reputation in the process. After this episode, she is never seen again, and there is no explanation as to what became of her.
Malcolm's love interest in the episode Bowling. Malcolm and Reese both fought over Beth and they both tried to win her over. Reese, however, was extremely disgusting and made Beth hate him, while Malcolm was nice to her and actually made a decent impression on her. He completely humiliated himself in front of her, but she was the only one who didn't laugh at him.
At least she didn't laugh at him in public. She did unwillingly laugh at him when they were alone, and then quickly apologized.
The two of them then became enamored of each other and started making out, until Lois pulled Malcolm away. Malcolm's first official girlfriend in the episode Malcolm's Girlfriend. Often credited with starting the trend of single camera, no-laugh-track comedies on TV back in , Malcolm in the Middle starred Frankie Muniz as a young genius to whom nothing comes easy as the middle child in a middle-class family. The character was originally written to be nine years old, so the thenyear-old Frankie Muniz thought he was too old , giving his mother a thumbs down as soon as he came out of the audition room.
The producers decided to make Malcolm around the age of 12 and give Muniz the part. When the young actor found out he got it, he jumped on the hotel bed. We're just saying he's attending middle school, not the actual grade level.
We don't want to be locked into something. Kids are so protean with what they say, anyway. Later on, Francis has an employee card that says "Nolastname," and during Malcolm's graduation speech in the finale a loud noise from the microphone covers up his last name.
However, if you paid close attention during the pilot episode, you would have seen the only hint to the family's last name. It was on Francis' name tag, which read "Wilkerson. In season four, episode 10, "If Boys Were Girls," Lois is sick of the unruly boys and imagines life if all her kids were girls instead.
The idea for this episode was actually created by year-old Alexandra Kaczenski, who was the costume designer's niece. She gave a full two-page story outline to Linwood Boomer, one of the show's creators, and he loved it. Kaczenski actually got a "story by" credit for the episode. Cranston did the majority of his character's own stunts. There were only two that he didn't do, a cartwheel and a handstand. He learned how to roller skate and basically did everything else himself.
In season one, episode 14, "The Bots and the Bees," he ends up wearing a bee suit that had thousands of live bees in it. This happened after the producers asked him if he'd be willing to wear a bee suit, to which he agreed.
Later, he admitted he only got stung once, in a very private area. Boomer, who had starred on Little House on the Prairie before creating Malcolm in the Middle , was inspired by his own life. Growing up, he was a middle child in a family of all boys, and he also had a really high IQ. The scene with Lois shaving Hal's hair at the breakfast table was inspired by his own parents doing just that.
Like Malcolm, Boomer was also sent to a gifted program against his own wishes. You could basically say the show is a "loose biography. According to a book about Frankie Muniz, the producers loved him so much that they changed the age of the character. When Muniz auditioned for the role of Malcolm, he didn't think he would get the part because he was 12 at the time, and Malcolm was supposed to be nine. He actually thought he blew the whole audition for this reason.
At first, after making this decision, the producers didn't even want to give Malcolm a specific age anymore.
