    Pick up Earl hide show

    It sucks the show ended, I really enjoyed watching it and will miss all the good and bad times Earl had. I believe Earl was the part of us that always did bad stuff, regreted it, wanted to make for it and never did. He did it in a way to make us laugh and think about life and our surroundings how our actions effect other people and different situations. I wish the show would have lasted at least two more years cause I would have like to have seen how it ended (without being dropped). Good moral attitude, somewhat.

    All good things must come to an end, BUT WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE BETWEEN A 2 PARTER? hide show

    The first episode I saw was one while Earl was still in a coma (I think it was "Stole a Motorcycle"), so I was late into the show, even though I thought it was a good episode. To make sense of the series, I decided to watch the Pilot episode, and I was hooked. Seeing the repeats on E4, and then Series 4 on the same channel, I can safely say that the series was good. I realize not many people liked series 3, while I don't think it was perfect, I thought it was good to see a change of situation of Earl, but of course, everybody knows that its done to change the pace of the show so that it won't be the same thing over and over, but that's not so bad. Series 4 wasn't quite as good as 1 or 2 at first, but I did like finding out about Darnell's history. And lets face it, when you throw a "To Be Continued" title at us, we want to see that conclusion. But then again, this was produced by 20th Century FOX Television, so it's hardly a surprise. For now, Earl's list will be left unfinished.

    Season 1 was excellent, Season 2 was great, Season 3 was horrible, and Season Four was fair. hide show

    This show was great for the first few seasons. Season Three should have been the best but it was absolutely horrible. Not funny at all. But season one and two were great. "The Trial" and "Pilot" are some of the best episodes of the series. They are funny, well-written, and have good characters. There were twist and turns, one-liners, no laugh track. It was great. My second favorite show. It decreased in quality quickly during season three. Seriously, "The Camdenites" was boring, dumb, and unfunny. Season Four was a bit of a return to the first two seasons but it had ridiculous unrealism (even though the show is crazy) like Tornadoes in pools. It had jumped the shark by then. Face it, My Name Is Earl was brilliantly hilarious in the first two seasons, but it jumped the shark in season three and was fair at best in season four. Except "Dodge's Dad." That was good. It deserved to be canceled.

    My Name is Earl is a funny and creative show that needs to be brought back. hide show

    My name is Earl is a funny and creative show that was canceled too soon. It has a blue collar theme with funny interesting characters that you can like even if they are supposed to be a bad character. The show follows Earl, a former bad guy turned good to appease karma. He believes that karma is responsible for his problems and crummy life. His wife/ex-wife Joy is a great character, bunny, sexy, and really great fun to watch. Joy makes the show for me, she is great. His brother Randy is the stereotypical dumb guy character that you cant help but like, and feel sorry for him. She later married Darnell, who is a total character himself, he is on the run and in the witness protection program. In conclusion, the show is an adult show, that has some child like humor, but its not childish. Its down home humor that is warm and teaches us lessons about ourselves and life itself. Bring back Earl! TW
