It'...I nominate "The Middle" as well. It's very much like Malcolm, though a bit less over the top. In the scifi realm, the show "Farscape" also showcased character development from beginning to end, in spite of being kind of overall goofy (it had 2 Jim Henson animatronic puppets a main characters).

One of my favorite things about ...I love this show! One of my favorite things about it is the way it uses and subverts the family sitcom trope of naggy wife vs dopey dad. Lois does nag, and Hal is dopey, but they aren't pitted against each other. They're passionate for one another, support each other's goals, and join forces against the kids instead. They're my favorite characters in the show.Sam Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12069749673374661798noreply@blogger.com
