Malcolm is hands down one of the most popular comedy series of the 2000s. Do you still remember the very first season? Let’s check this with this nine-question quiz on its 16 episodes.
It was in June 2001 that French households were able to discover the young Malcolm and his crazy family on the Série Club channel, before the series was visible on the parent channel M6.
Actor Frankie Muniz, who plays the main and eponymous character, was not then a novice on the small screen despite his very young age. We had indeed already been able to see it in several series like Spin City or Sabrina the apprentice witch, but also in A girl who has a dog, an American film in which we could find the French actors Patrick Bruel and Sophie Marceau!
As for the actress Jane Kaczmarek, who plays the role of Lois, the authoritarian and angry mother, she had already appeared in numerous series since the beginning of the 1980s, including New York Police Judicial, The Law of Los Angeles, or even Cybill.
But we had also seen her in a few feature films like Dead on Arrival in 1988 with Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan as headliners, before experiencing the consecration with Malcolm which allowed her to be named several times to the prestigious Emmy Awards and Golden Globes ceremonies.
Bryan Cranston – Hal, the father – meanwhile, had a less dense start to his career, with all the same a notable appearance in the Steven Spielberg film, Saving Private Ryan, in the role of Colonel Bryce .
The Malcolm series will have been entitled to seven seasons and more than one hundred and fifty episodes. Can you answer these nine questions over the sixteen episodes of the very first season?
