"Good"

By thefanof, Aug 08, 2010

My Name Is Earl returned tonight with another decent show. We had a fine guest appearance from David Arquette, who was able to make the decade old "Wazzup" seem funny. The episode had a good payoff with Earl not being able to help Sweet Johnny completely, yet giving him the one day he had yearned for for the last ten years.

I did not care for the side storyline with Joy getting carjacked and eventually buying a gun. Joy's uninteresting storylines are the norm in Season 4, but luckily it did not distract much from the main plot so it was fine.moreless

TRIVIA (3)
ADD TRIVIA
- During the montage of Sweet Johnny recovering from his various injuries, in one shot Sweet Johnny is shown to have teeth missing (in that actor David Arquette has some of his teeth blacked out), when in the next shot Sweet Johnny has all of his teeth back, with no noticeable change in his biteline or dentures installed.
  EDIT SHARE
- The details of Sweet Johnny's brain trauma refers to a common misconception of anterograde amnesia. In reality, people suffering from anterograde amnesia are only able to remember information that they are processing at the moment. In other words, once someone with anterograde amnesia stops thinking about something, such as what they had for breakfast, that information is lost.
  EDIT SHARE
- List Trivia: Introduced in this episode #7 Slept with SJ's GF (SJ = Sweet Johnny, GF = girlfriend) This episode marks the first time Earl has circles something on his list to keep instead of crossing it off.
