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.

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.

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.

Christmas - S3-E7

Question: What does "du kaya mischna" mean? Ida says it when falling asleep during the Christmas episode with Francis.

Answer: It is made up - although it is implied she is Croatian, she never mentions it herself.

Answer: Right, complete nonsense. Du, obvious pain prefix for two, Kaya is drugs in Jamaica and a fruit, coconut thing in Asia, and Mishna, spelled multiple ways, are certain types of studies in Hebrew.
