Malcolm in the middle vs The middle

I will speak on two series, these are Malcolm in the middle and the middle

The approach is the same, a pretty dysfunctional American family with a number of members among whom there is normal behavior patterns, but here lack self-centeredness and stupidity of Malcolm. I will talk about the plot and characters from both series

Talk about the plot of each one

Plot the middle

The plot of the series puts Heck, a middle class family in the suburbs of Orson, a fictional town in the state of Indiana, right in the middle of the United States Frankie is a middle-aged woman trying to raise and move forward his family dealing with everyday problems, with a great sense of humor. Must deal with household chores, attending to the problems of neurotic teenage daughter Sue, desperately calling for attention and love of his son, Axel and popular athlete, and solving the eccentricities of his youngest son Brick who spends all day reading books (or anything else that contains letters), and also has serious distraction. His right hand to perform the tasks is her husband, Mike, an employee in a quarry, which is characterized by outdated and big sports fan.

 Plot Malcolm in the middle

The series consists of the struggle for survival of a teenager gifted named Malcolm in the middle of a lower middle class family of the United States. The issue of episodes varies greatly, from simple tests in school, ferocious battles between two family members to episodes in Malcolm who is caught between childhood and adolescence, which confuses him even more. Every situation you how to survive and provided valuable lessons learned the hard way.

Well, let's talk about the characters

Frankie, the glue that binds the Heck is a  middle-aged super mom who strives every day to keep his middle-class family happy and healthy as possible, because as she says: "As a parent, you are so happy the least happy of your children. "For her family is most important in life and nothing would not be willing to do for them.

Lois is the hot-headed and stubborn mother of Francis, Reese, Malcolm, Dewey, and Jamie, and wife of Hal. She struggles throughout the series to keep her badly behaved boys in check while maintaining a job at the supermarket, she is seen by her sons as a somewhat tyrannical figure, a crazed control freak, and indeed she is, but her behavior was caused by Francis's bad behavior as a toddler.

Mike is a loving father, an understanding husband and collaborator, however, is an old fashioned guy, who loves to say things in front, bluntly and with very little tact. Although sometimes their methods seem unorthodox, Mike has the best of intentions and is always thinking about the welfare of his family.

Hal is the somewhat childish but caring father of Francis, Reese, Malcolm, Dewey, and Jamie and husband to Lois. He is a lighter touch with the boys than Lois, but can still hand out discipline when necessary. Hal seems constantly on the edge of some kind of breakdown; when things get to be too much, he often goes into a howling, wailing state of panic and frustration.

Brick is the youngest son of the couple. It is unusual for a child his age. Spends much of his time reading everything I can read and whispering to himself. It is characterized by extremely intelligent, very distracted

Malcolm is a genius, and because of this, is placed in a class for gifted students (or Krelboynes as they are known at the school). His intelligence, as well as feelings of not fitting, and his ego are the primary causes of most problems he faces.  Malcolm is the middle child of the family, third-born of five. His best friend is Stevie, a wheelchair-bound fellow Krelboyne with a severe breathing problem.

Axl is the older brother Heck; it's a good looking guy, a good reputation at school and as every brother does not get tired of playing practical jokes on his brothers. It is in that stage of life that need to be cool to be sarcastic and mistreat younger siblings. Axl also has a serious problem with the clothes, because the only garment which is comfortable with a pair of boxer shorts.

Francis is the oldest brother. Due to his extremely bad behavior, he is sent to a military school Francis remains at the school until the beginning of the third season, when he has himself legally emancipated and travels to Alaska to work at a logging camp. Here he meets and marries with Piama

Reese is the most impulsive member of the family and has remarkably little common sense. He is the older brother of Malcolm, Dewey, and Jamie and younger brother to Francis. , he is shown to be a bully, getting much enjoyment from the misfortune of others and handing out beatings to students at school and to his younger brothers at home. Despite being remarkably unwilling to think, he enjoys cooking and baking—which he is shown to be very talented at on many occasions—and a natural born soldier.

Sue is the second of the children Heck, the only daughter of Frankie and Mike. Sue is in pre-adolescent stage, that is, you do not really fit in anywhere. In the case of Sue's not for lack of effort, as if something has this girl is a high-high-level commitment. In each activity proposed Sue prints a tremendous dose of hard work, dedication and lots of heart, but ... still cannot understand how he manages to fail at everything she tries

Dewey is the younger brother of Malcolm, Reese, and Francis. His role is usually that of the victim to his brothers. Dewey is very intelligent, even being able to fool and manipulate Malcolm. However, his real talent lies in music.

Bob is one of the best friends Frankie and works with her at the dealership. It is a caring person, good manners and good feelings, but rather lonely

Craig Feldspar, Lois' coworker who is fat, has a cat, and has a crush on Lois.

Both series are very entertaining, I recommend both without doubt will make them laugh and they both have their characteristic touch and if you have nothing to do, I recommend you to go for somepopcorn and watch it you will not regret
