Is 'Malcolm in the Middle' truly funny?

[Deja Q]

Or, could somebody tell me what is so appealing about it?

But back to the question: Is 'Malcolm in the Middle' truly funny?

1. It was during the first few seasons

I haven't watched it too much in the last few years but when I did watch it wasn't that funny.

2. they said it was gonna be a TV's simpsons but its not

and i think frankie muniz is a stuck up jerk :D. That family is NOT more dysfunctional than mine.

3. I'll vote for some parts...

It's kind of hit or miss, but at least in my opinion, more hits than misses, at least as far as what passes for most sitcoms these days...

4. i like the dad on the show

he's got a great delivery and is cast perfectly

haven't watche dit in a while-ever since the simpsons went to shit, fox on sunday just doesnt draw me in like it used to

5. Embarassingly idiotic.

Bad, even for faux.

They can only do animation. Live action, not so much.

6. Compared to Everybody Loves Bland Dumb Guy

And most other dimwitted programming, Malcolm is a pretty funny show.

IQ of 164 but with severe learning disabilities, and autism.. i was nearly beaten to death several times in public schools, they would not protect me. I cant watch the program.
