The problem is the music licensing for season two. Malcolm used a lot of music in the first two seasons, which has to be licensed for the DVD release. They paid the money for the first season, but the sales on the box set back in '02 weren't high enough to justify the licensing expense for season two, so the planned box set was scuttled. Seasons three onward are, as far as I know, pretty much in the clear and could be released quite easily. And season two could be released if the music was removed. I don't think anyone wants to do that, and I suspect at this point, no one really cares any longer and the series will remain in DVD limbo.The more important question for me is, "WHEN WILL THEY PUT MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE ON DVD?????????" (insert every fracken expletive you can think of here)
