At one point last year, I remember being surprised to hear that Malcolm in the Middle
was still on television. I watched it when it first launched on FOX on Sunday nights and I loved it. But, then it
disappeared to Friday nights and, quite frankly, I forgot all about it. Well, it turns out the show is still on the air
and it's actually in the middle of its fifth season! Since FOX moved Malcolm to Fridays, its numbers have
dwindled down to about 3.5 million viewers, giving it the unfortunate title of being the least-watched show on FOX.
Malcolm arrives in its new time slot starting on January 29 at 7 pm EST. Let's hope the Sunday night slot will
give Malcolm new life! I know I'll be watching.Malcolm returning to Sundays

Sunday at 7 is a death slot, Annie... It's where Futurama went to die, too.
Oh, I think the show started in January, 2000, which makes this the show's 7th (!) season.

Joel, Sunday night at 7 IS a death slot, but only during the NFL season. Without frequent overruns and preemptions due to football games, there shouldn't be any problem. And on the bright side, my DVR will find the show no matter when they air it.

If it wasn't official beforehand, they officially jumped the shark for me last year when they went with one of the worst cliches in TV history, adding a baby for ratings. I stopped watching and won't return
