Few things for the family

• Malcolm gets called out by EVERYONE of the main characters and major side characters at one point or another in the series for his crappy attitude… It’s a running joke by the end of it…
• This is one of those fox “see! the poor don’t have to be poor, they just need gumption and having less kids” shows… (Bones is another ex.)
  • Malcolm’s always whining and it causes him to lose out on many major opportunities (both relationship-wise and career-wise)
  • Hal says they have sex several times a day, even when they’re camping with another family. Thus he’s always tired and can’t concentrate
  • In one episode, Lois and Hal have to stop having sex for a week because of some medical issues, the grass gets attention and turns green, hal gets a promotion, and they stop being so trashy. All in one week. Once the issue is gone and they can have sex, everything goes back the way it was, grass looks like shit, house is a wreck.
  • In one episode they show how each time they have a kid, the parents lives get progressively worse.
