Lois is a fictional character from Malcolm in the Middle. She is played by Jane Kaczmarek.

Lois is described as a hard-nosed, manipulative and slightly crazy mother and something of an embarrassment to her five kids and devoted husband, Hal.hard-nosed, crazy, embarrassing

Jane Kaczmarek herself describes Lois as \'a great mother\'.great mother

Lois is intensely disliked by Hal\'s wealthy and snobby family, as seen in the fourth-season episode "Family Reunion". They consider her low-class, and have taken to referring to her as "Lois Common Denominator".

She, in turn, took a strong and immediate dislike to Francis\' wife Piama. Both of them take every opportunity to back-bite each other, but by the end of the series they have developed a much more cordial relationship.

In addition to being a full-time mom, Lois works at \'Lucky Aide\', a local drugstore (motto: "The L stands for Value"Trivia for "Malcolm in the Middle" at IMDB.). Craig, one of her co-workers, clearly has a crush on her, which she does nothing to encourage. He often makes inept attempts to impress her.

Lois is believed to be descended from Poland or Eastern Europeans. This is implied by her love of Polish baseball players and her mother Ida\'s culture. Lois and Hal continue to be sexually attracted to one another and seem eager to expand their brood. In the series finale it is hinted that she is pregnant once again, but it is revealed that this is only a prank by Dewey. Her original plan was to have all girls.Lucky Aide, Craig, Polish, Sex

In one episode, she gave her dying sister Susan (Roseanne\'s Laurie Metcalf) a kidney.

Quotes

Malcolm: Did it ever occur to you that I could have taken this job, gotten really rich, and then bought my way into being President?
Lois :Of course it did. We decided against it.
Malcolm: WHAT?!
Lois :Because. Then you wouldn\'t be a good President. You wouldnt\'ve suffered enough.
Malcolm: I have been suffering all of my life!!
Lois :I\'m sorry. It\'s not enough. You know what it\'s like to be poor and you know what it\'s like to work hard. Now you\'re gonna learn what its like to sweep floors and bust your ass, and accomplish twice as much as all the kids around you. And it won\'t mean anything because they will still look down on you. And you will want so much for them to like you, and they just won\'t. And it\'ll break your heart. And that\'ll make your heart bigger, and open your eyes until finally you will realize that there\'s more to life than proving you\'re the smartest person in the world. I\'m sorry, Malcolm, but you don\'t get the easy path. You don\'t get to have fun and be rich and live the life of luxury.
Hal :Yeah, thats for Dewey.
