“Kitty’s Back” December 12, 2004
605 112
Kitty Merrin Dungey returns after having done everything imaginable and wants to return to her family to Loiss dismay.
This evidence serves us the good sample of consistency. After being succeeded and having done everything that she has been dreaming of, Kitty
returns to her family. This is as the fact that nuclear family teaches the best things for its members.
As well as Kitty, Reese comes with an example of not forgetting his brother, Malcolm. When he graduates from high school, he moves in with Craig Feldspar
and finally finds success, as a junior in his former high school. According to his phone call with Malcolm in the season finale, he tells Malcolm that when the
principal found the peepholes in the bathroom, the head janitor was fired, and his job was given to Reese.
7. Learning Skills.
The next tradition presented in MIM is learning skills. Learning skills here is not restricted to special things at certain places, but it is more than that. The
abilities and capabilities may be provided at any places, even in the time when groups of family or class enjoy the leisure time. It is not the leisure that merely as
the main destination of a group, but it could be more than a having fun. It is a presentation of skills that they have to show to others, like the episode below:

Production Episode “Krelboyne Picnic”
March 12, 2000 108
8 Malcolms class demonstrates their abilities at a picnic. Malcolm tries to get
out of going because its on the same day Francis comes home. This can be understood, because many episodes revolve around Malcolm’s
attempts to reconcile his genius-level 165 IQ with his desire to lead what he would consider a normal social life. However, Malcolm remains a social outcast
in school. In middle school, Malcolm uncomfortably socializes with his fellow Krelboynes, but when the group moves on to high school, they no longer have,
classes together and stop interacting. Malcolm and Reese, particularly toward the end of the series, have no discernible group of friends. At this point, the only
people Malcolm interacts with socially on a regular basis are his family, his genius best friend Stevie Kenarban, and a handful of short-term girlfriends.
Dewey, the youngest brother in Malcolm Family, presents the other evidence of learning skill. Dewey begins to exhibit a high degree of intelligence, seen
mainly in his talent pf playing the piano. Dewey is about to follow his brother into the gifted class, only to have Malcolm help him stay in normal classes. In such
early childhood, he was able to play a piano. Title
