"Yes, no, maybe... I don't know... Can you repeat the question?!"

Yes, anybody who grew up throughout the early 2000s will know every word to They Might Be Giants' song 'Boss of Me' due to the fact that it served as the opening theme song of the hit family sitcom, Malcolm in the Middle.

The show ran for seven seasons between 2000 and 2006, and told the story of a highly intelligent kid called Malcolm - played by Frankie Muniz - who struggled to fit in with his dim-witted family.

Joining Malcolm were his siblings - older brothers Reese (Justin Berfield) and Francis (Christopher Masterson), and the particularly odd younger brother Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan).

The show also featured a pre-Walter White Bryan Cranston as Malcolm's dad, Hal, and Jane Kaczmarek stole the show as the boys' long-suffering mother Lois.

(Fans will also remember that Hal and Lois had a fifth son, Jamie, at the end of season four.)

Despite rarely being spoken about nowadays, the show was a critical success, and won a Peabody Award, seven Emmy Awards, and one Grammy. But beyond all of that, the show was just a lot of fun!

Now, fans of the show will be delighted to hear that the original cast of the show will be reuniting to celebrate the sitcom's 20th anniversary and raise some money for some well-deserved causes.

Taking to Instagram to share the announcement with his 2.5 million followers, Cranston shared an image of the cast, along with the caption:

"Here we are... all are stuck in this five months of quarantine! Can you imagine how Hal would have gone bonkers on #MalcolmintheMiddle if he had to stay inside with his five knuckle-headed boys?!

"Makes me smile to think about that. So, if you’ve been missing some silliness in your life, check us out this Saturday night 8/8 for a 20th anniversary celebration of the show’s premiere."

Cranston continued:

"The cast is back!! This time we’re reading the pilot episode on Zoom. The whole thing is the brainchild of Linwood Boomer, our show’s creator, to benefit his charity @HealingCalifornia, an amazing organization that provides FREE dental, medical, and vision care to those in need.

"There’s also lots of great stuff from the show that could be yours. Bid now on @Charitybuzz, link in bio. @RWQuarantunes See you on Saturday!"
