A petty crook sets out to make amends for his life in this quirky comedy created by Greg Garcia ('Yes, Dear'). Jason Lee brings an endearing warmth to the title role of Earl, who wins $100,000 on a lottery card, and loses it when he's hit by a car. In the hospital, Earl experiences an epiphany---courtesy of Carson Daly, of all people---and resolves to right his wrongs. Along for Earl's ride: his ne'er-do-well brother Randy and a sexy motel maid.

Cheers: Earl in the Family | Cheers & Jeers | 7/9/2008
Cheers to Jason Lee for playing along with Celebrity Family Feud. At first, I was shocked when I heard My Name Is Earl's headliner was joining his costars on the NBC game show. After all, he starred in one of last year's biggest movies (okay, so it was Alvin and the Chipmunks, but still...). And Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer all chose not to accompany their Office mates to the Feud. Then I watched the episode and saw that Lee and Co. were playing in character,... read more
My Name Is Earl Goes (Seth) Green | Today's News: Our Take | 6/11/2008
Kinda funny today, sharing news on both Seth Green and Jamie Kennedy, whom many would be hard-pressed to tell apart if asked. But I digress.Seth will guest-star on My Name Is Earl this season, playing a former Make-a-Wish child whose dream of starring in an action movie was dashed by Earl. Ergo, Earl charges himself with making that big-screen lark come to fruition.Me, I'll be curious to see if the actual Make-a-Wish name sticks; the organization is famously protective about its brand, and... read more

Ratings: Good News for Betty and Earl, Bad for Mer | Today's News: Our Take | 5/17/2008
Thursday's recap:8 pm/ETWith Survivor snuffed, Ugly Betty looked pretty with 8.5 million total viewers, up a half mil week-to-week. Earl was No. 1 in key demos, and surged 16 percent (7.2 mil) with its season finale. Smallville's season-ender (3.8 mil) trailed a CSI repeat, and dipped 160K.9 pmCSI wrapped its year with an audience of 18.1 mil, while Grey's Anatomy (15.5 mil) matched a record low in demos for a Thursday original.

Episode Recap: "Camdenites" | My Name Is Earl Show Blog | 5/16/2008
In terms of one-liners and such, this episode was pretty much the most jam-packed of the season. I'll try to sum up the plot as quick as I can so we can get to as many funny moments as possible. Things got started where they left off — Billie was being a shrew and Earl tried his best to deal with it. Wondering why karma gave him a raw deal, Earl set about trying to find a solution. He decided to throw himself full-throttle into working on the list after realizing that working hard was how... read more
At Benefit Walk, Dancing and Earl Stars Dish it Up | Party Central: The Latest Buzz from Your Favorite Stars | 5/15/2008
More than 50,000 men, women and children woke up at the break of dawn Saturday to raise funds and awareness for women's cancers at the annual EIF Revlon Run/Walk for Women. Among these early risers was Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba, who, despite feeling under the weather, was determined to walk. "I really just wanted to be a part of the event," the cohost of the morning told TV Guide. "I mean, don't you feel it? There's all this energy here. It doesn't feel like it's 6 o'clock... read more
Episode Recap: "Girl Earl" | My Name Is Earl Show Blog | 5/9/2008
At least Earl got to experience pure bliss with Billie for a little while — he soon awoke to the realization that he had to (gasp!) actually get to know the woman he just married. It turns out she's not his 100 percent dream woman after all. Her hodgepodge of quirks included ruining Earl's chip-to-sandwich eating ratio, intruding on Earl's bathroom breaks, and opining that Sammy Hagar beats David Lee Roth as front man of Van Halen (her biggest sin in my book). While he took Joy's advice to... read more
Reader's Jeer of the Week: Wake Up, Earl! | Cheers & Jeers | 5/2/2008
Posted by TheTenthDoctor...Jeers to My Name Is Earl for it taking five episodes (almost a quarter of a season!) to wake Earl back up from his coma. The plot should've been resolved by the end of the two-part episode that aired after the writers' strike. Bottom line, the whole coma/sitcom story should have been taken care of then, not three episodes later.• For a review of Robin Williams on Law & Order: SVU, check out the latest Cheers & Jeers vodcast. • Share your own raves... read more
Episode Recap: "Love Octagon" | My Name Is Earl Show Blog | 5/2/2008
Well, let's not beat around the bush regarding the big news — Earl and Billie got married. It was great to see Earl in such suave and decisive form in his first post-coma order of business. But as with every enjoyable Earl episode, the real fun is in the journey, not the destination. Let's revisit the main stops along the way. All of the main characters were out in full force tonight with the Crab Shack serving as the base of operations. At the outset, we learned that Joy, Darnell, and the... read more
Earl's Jason Lee and Girlfriend Are Expecting | Today's News: Our Take | 4/29/2008
Congratulations to My Name Is Earl's Jason Lee, who is expecting a baby with girlfriend Ceren Alkac.Alkac is due in the fall, says People, and the baby will be the first for the couple. Lee, 38, is already dad to a 4-year-old son with his ex-partner, actress Beth Riesgraf.Lee was honored this past weekend at the San Francisco International Film Festival's Midnight Awards. The San Francisco Chronicle dishes that Lee, who sported his Earl 'stache for the occasion, "was sweetly attentive" to Ceren... read more
Episode Recap: "Killerball" | My Name Is Earl Show Blog | 4/25/2008
With Earl in a coma for the past few weeks, I've found myself wondering how on earth he can act as narrator so well. Doesn't he need to remember things well in order to recount them? We know that Randy wouldn't be able to tell him what happened with a great measure of detail. Earl even made a funny allusion to it tonight when recounting a key moment in the Killerball game and saying "I wish I remembered it." It was a nice touch to the ultra-post-modern storyline we've been following recently.... read more
Scrubs and 30 Rock Doing the Ol' Switcheroo | Today's News: Our Take | 4/21/2008
Effective this week, Scrubs and 30 Rock are switching places on NBC's Thursday-night lineup to close out the season. Each series has three new episodes yet to air. Scrubs moves to 8:30 pm/ET (following My Name Is Earl) while Liz Lemon and the gang at 30 Rock go to 9:30 pm/ET (after The Office). — J.R. Whalen read more
Episode Recap: "No Heads And A Duffel Bag" | My Name Is Earl Show Blog | 4/18/2008
Kudos to Earl for taking a little break from the coma-dream storyline — whether or not you're a fan of that, you have to admit it felt good to watch Jason Lee perform some more traditional protagonist duties. Not only that, but this week was filled with quite a few standout lines and performances. It was an episode comprised of nearly non-stop flashback and it worked wonderfully. Randy decided to run another karma errand for Earl by attempting to make amends for an incident in which their... read more
Episode Recap: "Stole A Motorcycle" | My Name Is Earl Show Blog | 4/11/2008
I try my best to call them like I see them, and after seeing this episode, I'm sadly forced to call it lackluster. More often then not, if the first half of an Earl episode moves a little slow, it gives way to a lightning-quick laugh-fest in the second half. This wasn't one of those episodes. Last week, Randy watched as crossing an item off of Earl's list led to a miraculous upswing in his vital signs. Determined to help his brother emerge from his coma, Randy spent his time this week trying to... read more

Episode Recap: "I Won't Die With A Little Help From My Friends" | My Name Is Earl Show Blog | 4/4/2008
Well, it's been a while, but now that all the poster boards have long been collecting dust, a new episode of Earl has finally been unleashed — and it did not disappoint. After NBC President and CEO Jeff Zucker got the ball rolling with a quick recap and a good-natured joke or two about the writers' strike, we were back in Camden County. Earl and Billie were, of course, right where we left them — unconscious in the street. As Randy commandeers an ambulance in order to rush him to the... read more

Jason Lee Teases "Exciting" Times for Earl | Party Central: The Latest Buzz from Your Favorite Stars | 3/29/2008
You can't blame Jason Lee and Matthew Gray Gubler for being a little bleary Thursday night at the DVD release of Alvin and the Chipmunks. (Jason plays Dave, while Matthew voices bespectacled Chipmunk Simon.) Lee had just come from the set of My Name Is Earl, and was a bit fuzzy when asked what's in store when the show returns April 3. One tease he did spill was that guest star Alyssa Milano is back as his very pregnant wife in what looks like a '60s-inspired fantasy sequence. "Yeah, it's all... read more
