Dewey is Hal and Lois' fourth son. He is Malcolm, Reese, and Francis's youngest brother, and often falls victim to their pranks. Dewey is very intelligent and musically gifted. Despite his intelligence, he is placed in a remedial class for slower students (or "Buseys") due to Malcolm and Reese's sabotage. Dewey remains in the class and serves as their self-appointed teacher. By the seventh and final season of the show, the Busey class is no longer mentioned(Possibly due to the constant help his classmates had, they no longer needed to rely on him as they once had) and eventually he was transferred to the Krelboynes without interference from both Reese and Malcolm.. He is the youngest member of the family until Lois gives birth to Jamie. He was acted by Erik Per Sullivan.
