My Name Is Earl

[PDXChris]

And the brother, the very fat guy from Remember the Titans...he's lost a ton of weight. And he's funny.

He was also in Mallrats, Chasing Amy, American History X and Boy Meets World. Maybe he lost all that wieght when he saw the sailboat.

 

[marathon_mom]

[Brian in Mesa]

Instant Karma: NBC Gives 'Earl' a Full Season

Tuesday, October 4th
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com)

With "My Name Is Earl," NBC has hit on a rare commodity on network TV: a single-camera, laugh track-free comedy that's drawing strong ratings. So the network wants to keep it around for a while.

"Earl" earned a full-season pickup Tuesday (Oct. 4), hours before its third episode was set to air. The ratings for the first two shows, along with wide critical acclaim, were enough for NBC to give the series a full 22 episodes.

"We are extremely encouraged by the response to 'Earl' from the audience and critics alike," NBC Entertainment chief Kevin Reilly says. "[Creator] Greg Garcia and the producers are doing a great job creatively, and Jason Lee's Earl is a truly original TV comedy character that we hope will be around for years to come."

Through its first two airings in the highly competitive 9 p.m. Tuesday spot, "My Name Is Earl" has averaged 13.3 million viewers, making it the most-watched new comedy of the young season. Just as important to NBC, the show has posted a solid 5.8 rating among the network's target demographic adults 18-49 -- the best for any comedy, new or returning, thus far this fall.
Lee ("Almost Famous") stars as Earl Hickey, a lifelong lowlife who wins $100,000 on a scratch-off lottery ticket and is promptly hit by a car. After having a late-night epiphany courtesy of Carson Daly, he sets out to right the wrongs he's done in his life.

The show also stars Ethan Suplee ("Cold Mountain"), Nadine Velazquez, Jaime Pressly ("Not Another Teen Movie") and Eddie Steeples. Garcia ("Yes, Dear") executive produces with Marc Buckland ("Ed," "Medical Investigation").

This is simply awesome. This is hands down the funniest show on TV right now. Earl is so white trash, and they do not hold anything back so make him believable.

YES!!!! I am stoked this is getting a full season of episodes!!!

Man, we are in luck.

I love this show...it's great. Cohen bros type weirdcom. Great stuff.

Hey, Earl....Hey crab-man.

I love Darnell....

 

[jf-08]

Jaime is so freaking hot, it's hurts to watch her on the tube.

 

[PDXChris]

The show keeps on delivering, the best line was "the look on her face was just like in ET when the littel girl saw the monkey for the first time."

 

[SweetD]

I am a big Jason Lee fan! I was a little worried about him being a lead actor but this has been a good series.

 

[nathan]

I usually watch House in that timeslot, but it has gotten kind of stale. I caught the first three episodes when they were repeated last weekend and thought they were pretty funny.

Thank God for Tivo I watch both.

 

[Pariah]

Last night's Earl was the first I've seen that I thought was any good.

 

[D-Dogg]

Ethan Suplee is fantastic on this show. FANTASTIC.

"Cause we're men, and they're women. You remember we talked about that."


"Sometimes being alive can hurt. You can get in a car wreck, break your foot or even stub your toe. So being alive isn't always good, but it's better than being a-dead."


This show keeps getting better.

 

[D-Dogg]

Gotta give it up for Karma's Army, made up of all the peoples of all the worlds.

 

[D-Dogg]

Line from last episode that I will encorporate from here on out:

Joy: Hey Carolina...

Catalina: It's Catalina....

Joy: Tomato, Potato, whatever.

'Joey' Out on Thursdays; 'Earl' In


In what appeared to be a less-than-friendly act, NBC is yanking Friends spin-off Joey from its Thursday-night lineup as part of a major revamp aimed at reviving the network's once invincible Must-See-TV comedy array. The network said Thursday that beginning Jan. 5, Joey will be replaced by Will & Grace. Four Kings, a new sitcom from Will & Grace creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, will follow at 8:30 p.m. The network will move My Name Is Earl, its only successful new entry of the season, into the key 9:00 p.m. timeslot, followed by The Office at 9:30 p.m. The network's long-running E.R. will remain in the 10:00 p.m. period. "Thursday night is what NBC is about," NBC Entertainment President Kevin Reilly told today's (Friday) New York Times. "This is just about going back to a comedy block." The new moves also bump Donald Trump's The Apprentice off the schedule, although Reilly told the Times that he expects it to return in the spring -- but probably not on Thursday nights. He also said that NBC will bring back the comedy Scrubs on Jan. 3 at 9:00 p.m., scheduling two original episodes back-to-back each week.

 

[D-Dogg]

YES!!!!



Best comedy on TV right now, and even better, they are keeping the Earl/Office connection alive. Fantastic news...that may be my favorite funny hour of TV. If Curb was on right after, it would be nirvana.

 

[Renz]

"He's got white-people ears!"

 

[Pariah]

Tonight's episode was the best yet, IMO. When I first saw this show, I didn't care for it too much. It's definately grown on me.

 

[KingofCards]

Yeah, I love it.

This one hit close to home, cause me and my brother can't go to the Cards game on Christmas Eve, because it would "ruin Christmas."

 

[marathon_mom]

I heart Earl. This show is awesome. I've Tivo'd all the episodes & burned em to DVD for our guests viewing pleasure if they haven't seen it. Too funny. We've been know to re-watch when nothing good is on the tube. I heart Earl.

 

[D-Dogg]

Yep, another solid earl.

I eagerly await the DVD set of this one; I have some Tivoed and on my PC, and I laugh every time I see them.

Liked that Catilina is an illegal...and rattled off a 20 digit social security number.

Randy: Felice Navi-blah

Catalina: That doesn't mean anything

Randy: Not to you, maybe, but to an American it means 'Merry Christmas' in Mexican.


DON'T JUDGE ME!!!
