My Name is Earl

Hullo!

If you only have half a brain, you obviously don't realise that I'm rather fond of this show. It got a fair bit of advertising before it launched in the U.K. and I've been watching it ever since.

It's taken a while because I'm not sure if anyone else likes it as much as I do but here's a thread for any discussion that may, may arise.

I recently worked my way through season two and have managed, under less than agreeable methods to watch a good portion of season three.

It's certainly a strange show, because the plot and comedy has a mild ebb and flow of quality which can be distracting from the overall aim of the plot (Earl making up for his past misdeeds) but for the most part it still makes me laugh.

I was a bit depressed at the conclusion of season two:

Spoiler (Highlight to read):

---

Earl going to prison, taking the fall for Joy after he nearly got her locked up. Ralph almost made up for it at the end but it wasn't a happy ending by any account

---

Season 3, for what I've seen of it is a bit of a departure but having the new setting and character is great. Craig T. Nelson as the warden is hilarious, and it only occurred to me the other day that he and Jason Lee were in The Incredibles together.

Anyway.

I hope there's other folks around here that enjoy the show enough to contribute. Have at it!

While I'm a huge fan of both Jason Lee and Ethan Suplee, I don't watch this show that often. I'll catch the odd rerun, but I'm pretty sure that it's on the same time as another show I watch, so I never watch it every week. Probably too bad, since I do enjoy it quite a bit. For some reason I always get a kick out of the very simple "Hey Earl!" "Hey Crabman!" exchange.

Oh man, you're missing out.

The off-the-wall quality that the show has makes it worth watching.

Agreed with the Earl and Crabman exchange. Earl and Darnell probably have the best relationship in the show, their top moment possibly being when Joy told Darnell Earl slept with his Mother.

i luv this show its so funny lolz

i think iv saw all the episodes lolz

It's okay, gets old after a while though.

I've watched a lot of episodes online, some from all seasons.

It did get a tad old, so I stopped watching, but watching a few episodes every now and then can be funny.

I suppose I can see why people get tired of it, but I guess if you don't really accept or like many of the characters then the show will drag.

I think it's mostly the entire premise of the show that I enjoy, even if they stray from the beaten path of the list every once and a while. I have been watching from season one - episode to episode so I've grown to love it.

Funnily enough I was watching an episode of American Chopper the other night and Jason Lee was on it. Turns out the Teutuls are building an "Earl" themed bike to be used in the show. Season three isn't out until November and I'm not even sure if it's showing on British television.

I thought it was hilarious when it first came out, but I lost interest not long after. I'm not really sure as to why though?

I like the show, and the concept, but I've never watched it regularly. Too preoccupied with Lost and whatnot.

Don't watch the show regularly, but it catches my interest. The guy who plays Earl-Jason Lee is one of the most stylish professional skateboarders around and personally one of my favorites.Check this out for proof.

Once in a while, I'll be in the living room, and my parents will be watching this show. While at times I did laugh, it gets old very fast. It does have its good moments, though.
