    7.5 Good

    A hillariously funny, qurky and very original comedy. hide « show »

    The plot is superbly silly. It focuses on a hapless loser called Earl who has spent his whole life making terrible choices which result in worse consequences. Then one day he has a small lottery win and deiscovers Karma. As such he writes a list of all the bad things he has done and sets about making them right... often in the most absurd ways.

    I admit the comedy in this is not to everyones taste but I love it! It is quirky and just slightly disturbing which makes it very watchable. The main characters are superbly cast and act fantastically, but for me it is the supporting cast that make the show. If you have never seen this show then give it a go because although it isn't for everyone it is well worth a try.

    Come and get me Karma hide « show »

    A great show about a man named Earl Hickey who wins the lottery, gets hit by a car and looses the lottery ticket. While in the hospital sees Carson Daily on TV talking about karma and decides to make a list of all the bad things he has done to people and make them right. With the help of his brother Randy, His ex wife, her new husband Darnell or the Crabman, and Catalina, the lady who cleans the motel the he and his brother Randy live in, Earl sets out to right his wrongs and cross off the items from his list. Each episode, not only does Earl cross and Item off, but he learns a valuable life lesson at the same time.

    This is a great show and I hope stays on the air. I have heard rumors of it getting cancelled after it's fourth season. That would be a shame.

    A twist of fate turns Earls life into a tailspin of life-renewing events. Earl wins a small lottery, and he is determined to transform his good fortune into a life-changing event as he sets out to right all the wrongs from his past hide « show »

    My Name Is Earl is set in Camden County, a fictional location in the Central Time Zone which seems to be in the South based on people's accents, though during the American Civil War it was a place called "Central" which supported neither side and seceded from both the United States and the Confederacy. Despite this, the Crab Shack bar has displayed signs for Pennsylvania beers, including Yuengling and Stoney's. As to the exact location, creator Greg Garcia says "the show doesn't technically take place anywhere....we like to think it's anywhere. We don't really say exactly where it is". The series stars Jason Lee, Ethan Suplee, Jaime Pressly, Eddie Steeples and Nadine Velazquez. Lee stars in the title role as "Earl J. Hickey", a petty crook with occasional run-ins with the law, whose newly won $100,000 lottery ticket is lost when he is hit by a car. Lying in a hospital bed, under the influence of morphine, he develops a belief in the concept of karma when he hears about it during an episode of Last Call with Carson Daly. He decides he wants to turn his life around and makes a list of all the bad things he's ever done. After doing his first good deed, he finds his $100,000 lottery ticket. He sees this as a sign and, with his new lucky money, he proceeds to cross items off the list, one by one, by doing good deeds in correspondence to the list items to atone for them.

    Earl has done bad things all his life and now his making up for it hide « show »

    The whole idea of a low life, white trash crook deciding to turn his life around and make up for all the bad things his done is a perfect fomula for a really funny and feel-good show. The show has a lot of things every day people could relate too and I'm sure it encouraged a couple of people to make a list of there own and start doing some good. My name is Earl started off to a great start, the way the writers managed to mix it up every season in order to keep the show fresh and prevent it from getting dry and old was suburb. All good things run out of steam though, and this pass season has been a bit slow, the storylines are getting more fer fetched like the whole Darrel and the CIA thing and Randy hooking up with Joy when they ware kids was somewhat jumping the shark. None the less, The show still has its funny moments and is great TV for its time slot.

    5 Mediocre

    good for one season then its repeat, repeat, repeat... hide « show »

    the first season was very interesting and funny with somthing new. but after a while it just all halted and repeat it self. some comedy show just dont hold up over time and this show proved that it didnt, when the second season arrived. some of you may still like it but just face it how much can you laugh of the same ting when its just repeat it self, i cant deny they did a good job at trying to hide this repeating they did. but i dont get that easly fooled, so i just quit watching this and i am not going back. we now have eastbound+down that is cuting edge in comedy.
