Season 7 opens with the family joining the Burning Man Festival, where Reese and Lois find creative freedom, Malcolm finds love, Hal finds a big audience and Dewey find himself doing all the chores.
As its best, Malcolm In The Middle was ugly, unfair, and thoroughly lovable... It's a particularly American outlook, which helps explain the series finale's unexpected grandiosity.
Some episodes are clever and endearing -- showing how kids deal with the perceived injustices of growing up -- while others highlight how the family pulls together in hilarious ways.
