Malcolm in the Middle

Correction: Yes, but only so Frankie, Jane, Bryan, Erik, etc. don't see his business.

Hal Coaches - S3-E16

Corrected entry: Reese is waiting outside of the school for Ed. When he arrives to pick him up Reese says "school gets out at 3, it's 2:15, I've been waiting for over an hour."

Correction: That's specifically the point. Reese wanted to leave school early and wanted Ed to pick him up at 1:00 (or probably after lunch), so he could goof off during school hours. Remember, Reese was blackmailing Ed and making him do things for him without anyone knowing. If all Reese wanted was a ride after school, he could have had his parents pick him up or taken the bus.

Shame - S1-E4

Corrected entry: In the scene in which Spangler shows the younger cadets the sex slides which Francis sabotaged, Francis is seen ducking away from the spot where he's been standing, however he has not moved when Spangler approaches him after he turns off the slides.

Correction: Francis didn't duck out of the room, he was the one who shut off the projector and Spangler said it was "technical difficulties" and Francis went back to his standing position when Spangler approached him.

Pilot - S1-E1

Corrected entry: At the end of the scene where Malcolm defeats Spath, Malcolm throws some chocolate pudding on him and it is dripping off. A few seconds later in the wide shot, Spath has no chocolate on him.

Correction: The pudding is actually still there. When Malcolm throws the pudding onto him, it only lands on one side of his head. In the wide shot, his head is turned the other way. Therefore, it seems like the pudding is gone, but it isn't. Also, for about one frame, his head turns so you can see the pudding nearby the top of his head. Finally, the pudding is on his shirt still.

Long Drive - S4-E11

Corrected entry: Hal states that Malcolm was supposed to pick Dewey up at school, but the earlier episode "Humilithon" established that Dewey now walks home unsupervised. (Malcolm doesn't yet have a driver's license, so this can't be a matter of convenience.)

Correction: Actually, in the end of "Humilithon," when Hal and Lois finish community service they tell Dewey that he doesn't have to come home alone anymore, and Hal takes the house key from him.

Zoo - S4-E1

Corrected entry: In the last argument scene where Malcolm and Dewey are in the tigers cage,if you look over Malcolm's right shoulder you can see a man with a camera filming them.

Correction: This is a news crew. It's supposed to be there.

Stock Car Races - S1-E10

Corrected entry: When the guys first get to the track, Hal says they have 4 hours of this. When Caroline gets to Malcolm's house she said Malcolm had been ditching school. But then, when the story goes back to the guys, they are still at the track. I wouldn't think that Caroline would leave the school to come and talk to Lois. And I also don't think Malcolm only has 4 hours of school.

Correction: No one said that malcolm has four hours of school. Let's say that malcolm has six hours, and it took hal an hour to drive there. They would spend four hours there, and spend an hour driving back. You have to take into account the driving time. Also, Caroline could've had a substitue teacher.

Baby (2) - S4-E21

Corrected entry: This mistake happens in the scene when Jamie is delivered. When Francis hands Lois Jamie, Jamie's eyes are open. Baby's eyes don't open until after a while.

Correction: Not always true. Both of my nieces came out with their eyes open looking around.

Hal's Birthday - S3-E15

Corrected entry: While Lois and Piama are at the table talking, Lois asks Piama about her bracelet. Going back to every shot the bracelet is in a different place on Piama's arm.

Correction: Yes it is moving, but her arm also moves a bit and it seems a bit loose, so it's not unlikely that it had slid or something.

Correction: The next does not imply there have been previous ones, that would be impossible anyway as they have already occurred. She says next to mean the upcoming birthday not a random birthday when she feels mean.

Pilot - S1-E1

Corrected entry: When Steve throws himself to the floor deliberately, people go to help him. When they grab him, even though he supposedly can't, he moves his left leg. It's really obvious.

Correction: He can move his legs, he is unable to walk because he only has one lung and it cannot support the exertion of that much activity.

Actually, it's said multiple times that Stevie can't feel his legs, thus meaning he's paralyzed and shouldn't be able to move his legs.

Opening theme song: Yes, no, maybe, I don't know, can you repeat the question? You're not the boss of me now, You're not the boss of me now, You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big. You're not the boss of me now, You're not the boss of me now, You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big. Life is unfair.
