Fish Keepers on TV - Malcolm in the Middle
Guest Author - Jilly Florio

Malcolm gets a great new job a babysitter for the perfect family. They pay him well, the kids are great, they feed him silly, let him watch TV and offer him a lot of restful time away from his boisterous family. The parents who hired him refer to Malcom as "part of the family."

It all seems great until Malcolm discovers the NannyCam and realizes his every afternoon is being taped for entertainment purposes. That's not so bad in itself, until he sees the stack of tapes labelled, "Best of Malcolm Scratching Himself," "Malcolm Eating Junk Food Montage," and "Malcolm Watching More TV." To stage a dramatic lesson for the voyeristic parents, Malcolm gets out a blender and scoops "Barney", the prize parrotfish from the livingroom's aquarium, into it. Of course Malcolm doesn't turn the blender on! He just figures out a way to say "I quit" that shows the parents he knows about the NannyCam. He basically says, "I won't hurt Barney because he's part of the family. But family doesn't spy on other parts of the family, either."

When they show the parents at home, later, to watch their Malcolm tape, they get very uncomfortable watching this!

I wasn't nervous about Malcolm blendering the parrotfish because he's essentially a kind kid. I knew he wasn't going to do it.

The aquarium looks like a 20-30 gallon saltwater, with a one-striped clownfish and a yellow tang in addition to the parrotfish. Everything in the tank was very clean and well-cared for. Three fish in a 20-30 gallon saltwater tank is a nice situation for the fish, so I was pleased to see a healthy (not overcrowded) tank depicted on TV.
