My name is Earl

[achiro]

Pretty funny so far.

"an besides, Earl Jr, really should be with his daddy" :D

[Penguin]

Yeah, it's looking pretty funny so far.

[NYSooner1355]

that was one of the funniest shows I've ever seen...I don't watch sitcoms, but that is one I will tune into again next week...

[SCOUT]

I thought it was really funny too. I think has some serious potential given how long his list is.

[oumartin]

that show is hilarious.. i laughed till i peed myself...

[the_ouskull]

I missed it. (Damn work...) What's up with it? Can I get a recap for the lifelong (literally -- I used to have his skateboarding posters on my walls even) Jason Lee fan?

I only saw the first few minutes, but it did seem to have potential.

[Cam]

Yeah, it was pretty good. I'll tune in next week for it.

[colleyvillesooner]

I liked it. Big Jason Lee fan. The accent seems to go away in your head after a while. Ethan Suplee seems to have lost a lot ofweight.

Heh. My favorite line was:

"I just want a normal wife, not one that huffs spraypaint on Thanksgiving"

Or something like that.

[achiro]

This one has lots of one liners. I was rolling through the whole thing.
When he said something about "this is a small town and this is the first homosexual I've ever seen face to face...looking back, maybe running away was the wrong thing to do" :D

[Rhino]

Ethan Suplee seems to have lost a lot ofweight.


http://eur.yimg.com/i/xp/premier_photo/3/32d377eb69.jpg He used to weigh 450 lbs. I think he was having heart problems and doctors put him on a diet to lose 200 lbs. ASAP.

[royalfan5]

I enjoyed the show too, especially some of the inspired musical choices in the show.

When we meet Earl Hickey, he describes himself as "that guy you see going into the convenience store when you stop off in that little town on the way to Grandma's house--sorta shifty looking fellow who buys a pack of smokes, a couple lotto scratchers and a tallboy at 10 in the morning." He's a petty thief who proceeds to steal some CDs and a flag from a van parked outside of the aforementioned convenience store.

Earl's narration introduces us to Joy, his unfaithful wife of, presumably, 6 years. He also introduces his two children (neither of which he fathered), Dodge and Earl Jr, and his brother Randy. The narration montage also introduces Darnell, an employee at Ernie's Crab Shack and also the father of Earl Jr.

This all brings us to three weeks ago. Earl gets his due in the form of a $100,000 scratch off ticket... only to promptly lose it when he runs into traffic and gets hit by a car. He wakes up in a hospital with an injured leg and neck, a morphine drip, and divorce papers from Joy. While flipping channels on the television, Earl stops on Carson Daly's late night talk show. Carson recites his philosophy on karma and it inspires an epiphany in Earl. After he's released, he and Randy get set up in a motel room, where Randy quickly makes nice with the maid, Catalina. Earl decides that he will write out a list of all of the bad things he's done and sets out to right his wrongs. He starts with #136, being a litterbug. Right after throwing away garbage in the motel parking lot, the winning lottery ticket appears at his feet. "Son of a bitch, it's working!"

Earl makes his way down to #64, Kenny James. He had picked on Kenny relentlessly in elementry school and has set out to make it up to him. After an incident with Kenny's parents, Randy finds out Kenny's address and the two drive off to see what they can do for him. They discover that although he has "a good job as an assistant manager of the CopyHut, a powder blue LeCar he took pride in and the nicest house on the block," he has no one to share it with. Naturally, Earl sets out to get Kenny laid.

Earl pays Patty, a daytime hooker, to go to Kenny's house and have sex with him. Under the ruse of Greenpeace, Patty goes to work, only to be rejected. Earl and Randy go inside to see what the deal is, only to discover that Kenny is gay. Earl flees from Kenny's house and marks him off the list due to "special circumstances."

Right after he marks Kenny off the list, his ex-wife Joy hits him over the head with a telephone in his motel room. Joy threatens him, demanding half of his $100,000 prize money. Earl writes it off as karma again and decides to take another crack at helping Kenny. Earl settles on taking Kenny to a gay bar in the city to boost his confidence. Once the three (Randy went along because Earl didn't want to be the only straight guy in a gay bar) went into the club and Kenny saw someone he liked, he realized that if Earl, the one person he's been most terrified of, will accept him for who he is then everyone else should, too. He leaves with his confidence fully intact and Earl leaves with one more entry marked off his list.

[the_ouskull]

Yeah, it's official. I have to watch this show. God Bless Jason Lee for existing and Kevin Smith for giving him a movie, and now TV, career.

And you didn't even get the one liners in that recap! :D

Its hilarious when he's standing there watching the delivery of "his" son Earl Jr. and they lift the baby up as it is delivered...its a black baby. HAHAHA!

[BigRedJed]

After a few years of "reality" television and mostly blah sitcoms, it's good to see that talented writers still work in Hollywood. This show worked (I HOPE the rest of the episodes are as good as the debut) for the same reasons, shows like The Simpsons, early seasons of West Wing, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm and others worked so well: great writing.

[BigRedJed]

And, BTW, I'm not saying there haven't been good shows and show concepts lately. Lost, and a host of HBO shows come to mind. I'm just saying this was the best network comedy I've seen in years, as far as dialogue.

[Penguin]

"Hey! You look just like that monkey on E.T.!"


I am officially hooked on this show. :D

[sanantoniosooner]

So is anybody in this thread named Earl, or is this a sham?

[Norm In Norman]

yeah, it's a good show. i still haven't seen the first one though.

[DCSooner]

"Your hooker lives here too?"

And about a million other one liners. I missed the old guy with the "talk box", he should be in every show.

[DCSooner]

Funny tonight.

I loved the toe-nail thing.

Also the bikini thing.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

It's got some good moments, but I think "The Office" is way funnier. But then, I like "Arrested Development", too.

[Penguin]

Also the bikini thing.

Hell, yeah. She looked pretty damn good in a bikini for trailer trash.

[achiro]

Great episode! I was freaking rolling! His x-wife is hysterical.

Saw My Name is Earl for the second time tonight and The Office for the first time. We liked both of them....a lot.

[soonerbrat]

dangit..i forgot about it AGAIN

[Norm In Norman]

Everyone crying at Joy's performance was classic. Also the "There's a cigarette butt in there" part was pretty good too.

The office was good last night too, although a lot of it seemed sorta thrown together. I was dying when that dude's desk was in the restroom.

I really need to start learning their names.

[Mjcpr]

i'm guessing there was a pilot as well?

i didn't see the part where he got hit by the car, etc...

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

'...you won a beauty contest?'

'...every day when I walk out my front door I win a beauty contest...'

[BigRedJed]

I think the pilot was shown during the marathon, but you really need to see the original broadcast. I was at a friend's house last week, and he replayed the first episode from his DVR. He had the original broadcast, plus a replay of it from a few weeks later. He didn't pay attention to which was which, and played the rebroadcast.

We were about 10 minutes into it before we realized how much had been ediited out to make room for commercials. I would estimate 7-8 minutes of the original show was gone. Obviously, after the show caught on they could sell more airtime, so they gutted the show to make it possible.

It makes me wonder how much is missing from subsequent shows; things that were originally filmed and then cut out to make room for more commercials. I guess the season one DVD will probably have those deleted scenes.
