No. This is a bad idea. Part of the fun of the whole thing is that they are dysfunctional and very poor family of geniuses (minus Hal, who I guess is a genius in bed?) in a society that doesn't actually reward genius, especially if you are working class. Not that the characters don't also have serious personal flaws.
The idea of them maturing into adults was literally already explored with the character of Francis. Why do we need to rehash it with the rest of them? The whole point was that they will probably fuck up a lot but end up ok.
Like if Reese isn't a line cook after working his way up to head chef only to completely bankrupt himself because while he is great with food he sucks at budgeting, I will not watch this.
Malcolm should be divorced at least once, if not twice.
Ironically, the only actually successful one should be Dewey, because he was always the moderately sane one of the family.
