I do not know the reason why "Malcolm in the Middle" ended. Low ratings? Because they decided to call it quits? Why was this show taken off the air? Could someone who knows the story please give me an answer? This is very sad. Especially since there do not seem to be plans to release the other seasons on DVD. |

Concerning Dewey's age: |

I remember an episode where Dewey started his first day of school, in which he also learns how to play the piano (in 15 minutes a day). I'm pretty sure they mentioned it was his first day of first grade, except I am almost positive that this occurs at least in season 3 or after. It appears to contradict the fact that Dewey started his first day of first grade in the first season. I don't remember the details very well, but what are your opinions on Dewey's age? |

--Short answer: The show was supposed to be about kids, and they aren't kids anymore. |

--Long answer: The show ended because it was about ''Malcolm'' being in the ''middle'' of his family. They kept finding ways to keep Francis a part of the show and, in the last two seasons, reasons to keep Reese around, but once Malcolm graduated high school it simply wouldn't make sense to continue. The dynamic of the show was heavily based on the relationships of adolescent siblings. If they are all working or in college the basis of the show no longer exists. Remember Boy Meets World...somehow Mr. Feeny manages to to stay with the group from elementary school all the way past college...it gets a little stale after a while. I was a big fan of Malcolm but I agree that this was the perfect time to end it. How can we be told Malcolm is a genius for 7 years and then not see him go off to a prestigous college after graduation? It had to end. |

I would have liked the show to continue. It would have been interesting to see the evolution of the sixth child, although Malcolm would have moved to studie. Maybe it ended a little weird, because Lois found that she was pregnant and at least another season should have been made.--[[Special:Contributions/85.23.21.246|85.23.21.246]] ([[User talk:85.23.21.246|talk]]) 20:23, 21 January 2015 (UTC) |

Why did this show end?
I do not know the reason why "Malcolm in the Middle" ended. Low ratings? Because they decided to call it quits? Why was this show taken off the air? Could someone who knows the story please give me an answer? This is very sad. Especially since there do not seem to be plans to release the other seasons on DVD. C&R 19:35, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
