Is Jamie a boy or a girl? Because I've never seen an episode where it tells you. [Probably a boy, as Lois most certainly would have made a big deal of finally having a daughter.] Answered by Sereenie

Does anybody know that last name of the family. I have watched almost every episode and I don't think it has ever been mentioned. [There has been speculation that the last name of Malcolm and his family is "Wilkerson". The name appeared in the title of the pilot script, but Linwood Boomer who wrote the pilot script says the family name has never been disclosed because they didn't want the family to fall into any specific ethnic group.]

Who sings the theme tune? I know that it's called 'There Might be Giants' but that's all. Thanks. [Actually, the band is called They Might Be Giants; the song is called "Boss Of Me."] Answered by Xofer

Does anyone know where the anime image of a man grinning in the opening theme comes from, or whether it was just created for this montage? [That image is from the anime cartoon "Nazca".]
