This is such a great pilot episode. It's way funnier than I remember. Extremely impressive for a first outing. It holds up so well even after all of these years.

We get introduced to the family with Hal getting his back hair shaved at the kitchen table. That tells you all you need to know about this crazy Unconventional family.

All of the family members get time to show off their personalities and everything fits so well.

Malcolm's narration is charming. We learn about him being a genius in this episode which I'm sure will become a huge part of the show.

Just a fantastic start to an extremely funny show. I love how Stevie pretends to get knocked over by the bully.

I love Francis's comment about simmering homoeroticism- this is such a clever and well written show.
