Well, let's be honest, Malcolm's ratings aren't waht they used to be. It scored a 2.4/4 average rating with Bernie Mac for Blackout; in other words, Fox was behind UPN for that hour, and that, quite frankly, is rather sad. Since season five, the critics have pretty much hated MITM and loved Arrested Development. Six months ago, all we heard about was how angry all the critics were that Fox had ordered a new season of MITM but waited until the last minute to do so for AD. It doesn't really mean that much because it's an arbitrary decision and Fox has to show season seven in its entirety, so we'll see it sooner or later. But I wouldn't keep my hopes up too high for a season eight.
