v based, never seen a family sitcom that actually depicts a fairly more realistic family instead of the picture perfect everything is always perfectly maintained nice household of every other similar show

    Confusingly the show The Middle also exposes a similar issue, their house is large but delapidated, both parents work long hours and over time but they are always short on money, I think it actually works better than Malcolm as they are nicer people (while still being believible) so it makes the fact they work so much but have little to show for it more stark.
