Where is the Family From / Live?

[yardgames]

Well, I have a man-made beach fifteen minutes from my house, so don't let that deter you. I think it's Colorado or New Mexico, though. There's no where in the US that's a thousand miles from Alaska (our biggest clue) so that's probably merely an exaggeration. If you ignore that clue, it starts to work out a bit more.

Where do the Wilkersons live? I'm guessing in the middle of the U.S, because Francis was 5,000 miles away in Alabama, and the family could drive to Vegas. But they never seem to have snow.......but it appears to be cold there........ Maybe they live in around Ohio or something like that. I don't know........

I think this thread is gonna get merged. Read this thread.. http://www.malcolminthemiddle.co.uk/...read.php?t=638 you can see what i think on there.

[CJman327]

Yep, that's where I got the idea. But this one(at least I think)is more specific.

[yardgames]

Yeah, this is at least the third topic on where the familiy is from. We also have one entitled "Can you get frost in California?" Search for it and check out our debate there. I'll merge this one with the thread you mentioned.

I know the the filmimg location (California) although i have no idea where it's actually meant to be set!

[samboo1]

Yeah, thats what we are trying to find out.

I didn't know Wilkerson was unofficial, I wonder why I never knew it. Sky One actually used it during the advert for Season 7 though.

They mentioned it here in an article I read in the TV Guide the other day. As far as I know it's still unofficial, unless anything is mentioned about it in the DVD commentary?

From http://www.kidzworld.com/site/p2301.htm:

Wilkerson:

Although there has been speculation that the last name of Malcolm and his family is "Wilkerson" (creator Linwood Boomer wrote the name on the pilot script), their last name has never been revealed because they didn't want to label the family as a certain ethnic group.

Re where they live:

It's another detail that's never been revealed in an episode. Any ideas? And no, it's not Los Angeles, CA - that's where Malcolm is filmed!

That doesn't really make sense to me, but thought I'd still post it anyway.
