Twentieth Century Fox, the producers of My Name Is Earl, want to make it clear that the sitcom is officially dead, despite reports of talks with TBS earlier this week.
So they issued the following very specifically worded statement: "Greg Garcia's brilliant My Name is Earl kept America laughing for the past four seasons and certainly deserved to continue for many more. While we had hoped to find a way to produce additional episodes for TBS, in the final analysis we simply could not make the economics work without seriously undermining the artistic integrity of the series. As none of us, Greg included, want the show to go out on anything but a high note, we regret that we must put to rest any speculation that Earl will continue. We are grateful to everyone at TBS for their enthusiasm for the series and wish to offer our heartfelt thanks to the cast and crew of My Name is Earl for their incredible work."
'Nuff said. Post you condolences below.

Call it karma: My Name Is Earl may be reincarnated on cable.
Following NBC's unceremonious dumping of Earl this spring, the show's creators are in talks with TBS, TVGuide.com has confirmed. The cable network and Earl producer 20th Century Fox are in "preliminary conversations" about creating 13 new episodes of the sitcom together, a TBS spokesperson said.
It's unclear when these new episodes might air. Moving a show from network to basic cable would surely require budget cuts, and while the cast is still "on hold" with Fox TV, they would still have to renegotiate lower salaries. So don't cross this off Earl's to-do list just yet.
The good news? In a separate deal, TBS will start running repeats of Earl in the fall.
