Hmm... I saw the pilot... and i liked it! It's about this boy, Malcolm Wilkerson (Frankie Muniz, Big Fat Liar) learns he is gifted with intelligence, but has 2 crazy siblings, his older brother Reese, (Justin Berfield, Wanted) and his little brother, Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan, Joe Dirt), plus his older, sort of crazy brother, Francis (Christopher Masterson, Scary Movie 2). His mother, Lois (Jane Kaczmarek, unknown films) who is cynical and his totally bizarre dad, Hal (Bryan Cranston). Can he survive???? Watch this sitcom! Really funny, even though there is no laugh track (strange...). So on Central Time at 6:30 or 7:30, watch it, laugh out loud and if you like it, watch it 4evur!!! XD!
