Does anyone else like "My Name is Earl"?
I like it but I haven't heard much from other people. What do you think of it?

1. I'm hooked. What a great concept
It's all about the karma, baby.

3. I like it a lot.
The show is very unique. It's a breath of fresh air compared to most other shows. I especially like Earl's brother and Earl's ex-wife's husband. :)

4. Love it.
The Smokey and the Bandit car episode that was just run had me in stitches.

This may be my favorite TV series of all time. Well no, that's still the Simpsons, but this is damn good.

5. That episode was hilarious.
"She always talked about going to Colonial Williamsburg but instead she went to Ozzfest and churned some dudes butter."

That line had me rolling. :rofl:

6. It's great, but
"Arrested Development" just got cancelled, which is a HUGH loss.

7. Damn! I hadn't heard that.
They never should have moved it to a different night. It was to smart and witty for most people.

9. Happened yesterday
A friend who's in the movie business in Hollywood called to tell me, because she knew I'd flip out and she wanted to hear it.

She's such a mean, wise person, that one.

They NEVER gave that show a chance. You know where it should have been, in two segments for a one-hour slot? Leading into "House" on Tuesday night. Fox would have OWNED Tuesday nights with that lineup.

Asses.

8. Great show...
At the Halloween party I went to, there was a guy dressed as Earl. Simple costume, but good nonetheless.

11. Saw the first 3 episodes and LOVED it!
but haven't seen 'em since- just keep spacing it out on Tuesdays. gotta get the dvd's when/if they release 'em.

Jason Lee is the only guy who can mug into the camera and not make me nausious...

And it's so refreshing to see him in a role where he CAN'T say "fuck" and still have a powerful delivery. Lee has got to be one of my all time faves.

That scene in the first episode where he and his brother-in-law(?) go running out of the guy's house, who he tortured so meanly as a kid, when they figured out he was gay and the voice-over of Earl saying "I later came to understand that the running away part wasn't nessecary..." Class!
