Malcolm in the Middle

It was planned for the 1998–99 television season.

However, when UPN's enthusiasm for the project waned, Gail Berman managed to rescue the pilot by bringing the project to Fox.

A privately owned home, located in Studio City, California, was rented for upwards of $3,000 a day to film as the exterior of Malcolm's house.

Rebuilt in 2011, the property is no longer recognizable due to its modern two-floor design.

The pilot's script was initially being developed by UPN until Regency Television became involved.
