What Have They Done? hide show
Earl is offered a deal to receive a lesser sentence if he can resolve problems between rival gangs. But, he finds the task harder than he expected, as the leaders of the gangs are lovers. Meanwhile, Randy looks for ways to join Earl in prison. What have they done to this show, season one and season two were amazing but now...! It's went so silly, it really it painfull to watch. This episode has to be the worst episode I have ever seen in my life. They have just wrecked the whole show for me. After this episode, I have not watched another and I dont plan to either.
Hilarious concepts all around! hide show
This episode is fantastic, with so many funny moments from the prison time coupons, to Earl's suggestion about balls, to the bulk of the plot with the great plot twist. Coming out of nowhere, it was hilarious, and the breakup was quite funny, as was Earl's attempts at reuniting the gang leaders. It was a very funny plot, with great jokes spread throughout such as Roy and the warden.
Perhaps even funnier is Randy's subplot where he becomes a guard, the 55% being the highest guard score ever being a great ending to the storyline. Randy trying to commit crimes was great as was the cop's reaction to his grafiti which prompted a punch in the face, and Randy studying.
Overall, this is a fantastic episode and just because Earl is in jail it hasn't slowed the series down at all... yet.
Earl tries to get a lesser time sentence in prison. Randy tries to be a security guard to join his brother. Gang wars develope into a love story. hide show
First off, I'm not a huge fan of My Name Is Earl, I prefer NBC's other comedy shows like The Office and 30 Rock. But this is one special series and it's ideas are tough to tackle. The new season has begun with a bang and it's previous one-hour opener was great. This however exceeds that episode in every way. The reason I love this episode so much is because of Earl's ways to get things done. This time, he has to stop the African and Latino Gangs and then learns that two men from each gang are in a homosexual relationship. It's kind of hard to talk and laugh about something that serious on national television. But instead of making the episode dumb, the writers made the plot witty and hilarious. In other words, this is one great episode.
witty observations and heartfelt characters hide show
Another genuinely funny episode of the superbly funny and often innovative show. Again Earl proves that this is one series that deserves another season through witty observations and heartfelt character depictions. Continuing to fly in the face of political correctness, a brave portrayal of homosexual relationships behind bars is spoofed through amusing and wry writing. It is always refreshing see a stereotype challenged through a joke especially when the laughter is not directed at the subject matter but through it. Paraphrasing an episode quote, unlike Randy the show's creators certainly do not 'have the reactions of a snake in winter!'
Another awesome episode! hide show
This episode was brilliant. I was skeptical about how the writers would be able to have a story arc with Earl in prison and no karma list. But they did it!
I loved the gay affair, only because it was somewhat cute that the two leaders of rival gangs had so much in common, so much so that they became lovers. And be glad that we saw this nice touch in prison life, as opposed to what *really* happens in such prisons.
Was anyone else annoyed at the fact that every week Randy seemed to be getting dumber and dumber to the point where it wasn't funny anymore? I was, and I sure as heck glad that Randy decided to sit a prison guard test. The scene right at the end with Earl and Randy sitting together nearly brought a tear to my eye!
But yeah, funny episode, hope the trend of excellent episodes continues.
