It’s coming back because adulthood proved it was right about life, pressure, and the middle class. Did the show age… or did reality just catch up?Another significant point during this episode occurred when Malcolm was offered a job with an established and wealthy tech company run by a friend of Stevie's father. The job would offer Malcolm a stable source of income right away, but Lois would not allow him to accept the position. This led to a significant argument between Malcolm and Lois, with Lois believing that Malcolm must attend Harvard for a more significant purpose that she believed Malcolm needed to fulfil.The meaning behind Malcolm's final pathIn Malcolm in the Middle's final episode, the most touching parts of the series occurred within the backyard following an accident involving a large amount of sludge being spilled everywhere. Everyone in the family, including Malcolm, had gotten sludge all over them. It gave Malcolm an opportunity to express all of his pent-up anger as he confronted both Lois and Reese over the incident. He specifically called out Lois for not letting him accept a very lucrative career opportunity that had been offered to him.Lois subsequently went on to tell Malcolm that she didn’t want him to accept the job because she believed he could grow up to become President of the United States. Although this statement was unexpected, it was nonetheless consistent with the overall tone and content of the series. Lois has always pushed Malcolm to be the best he can possibly be because it is her belief that in order to be the best at anything, one must have a greater understanding of the world around them.She explained that Malcolm had to know what it felt like to struggle so he could become a leader who truly understood people who were not rich or privileged. Even though Malcolm doubted himself, Lois told him that he had the ability to do anything. This gave the finale a hopeful tone while still keeping the idea that Malcolm would have to work harder than most people to succeed.The finale of Malcolm in the Middle ended with Malcolm giving his graduation speech. The camera showed that many students refused to sit near him or his family, which echoed the very first episode of the series.

Francis found a steady office job. Reese moved in with Craig. Dewey became the oldest kid at home. And Malcolm prepared for Harvard, ready for a long journey ahead.Now, fans are eagerly waiting to see how the Malcolm in the Middle reboot shapes the narrative.
