I've always wondered about this because half the time, they seem to know what they're doing and half the time they don't. Also, look at how thekids turned out.
Are Lois and Hal from Malcolm in the Middle good parents?

They were terrible parents especially Lois. She had her own interests in mind not her children's.

Hell no they are always yelling and have 5 kids and could barely afford to take care of them.
I watch this show all the time on FX too.

6...the final episode Lois was pregnant again. and to answer OP's question the point of the show was that the boys were terrible monsters.
The best mom dad combo in the world couldn't contain Reese and Francis. My favorite show ever too.
The episode were they never said what Reese did but revealed it was illegal in all but 3 states involved cats and some other stuff had me

i'd have to disagree with y'all.
when lois got revenge on those scamps for the practical joke they pulled on reece, you have to admit that was priceless. hell, my own mom would have justlaughed at me. and for hal, oh man, when your pops sacrifices his own dignity by sporting a shiny jump suit just to help you learn how to skate, that rightthere just exudes fatherhood.
kudos to lois and hal.

in there in own ways.... YES ! but society has painted this imagine and how to raise your children, however I disagree I believe all that matters is that theyare not scared of pressure and that they learn how to be resourceful.

Lois makes Britney Spears look like Mother Teresa...ok that's exaggerating it a bit.
Hal and Lois were horrible parents, but at times they did have good intentions, and I'd take good intentions > Apathy any day of the week. :/

We know that, but we're talking about the way the actors portray them as parents.

its realy hard to say. There are plenty of parents who did exceptional jobs raising their kids, yet those same kids turned out to be drug dealers, robbers andmurderers. The same can be said from the other side as well. There are plenty of "bad" parents whose children have turned out to be very successfulin life. Just from looking at the show, most of us would say yes, they are bad parents. However, if all of the kids went off to college and became verysuccessful and influential people, then we would say that their parents did an excellent job.
Its really a crap shoot.
