My Name Is Earl's Catalina Lists the Show's Strengths

Now in its third season, My Name Is Earl (tonight at 8 pm/ET, NBC) continues to be a ratings stalwart as the lead-in to NBC's Thursday-night comedy lineup.

Tonight, Earl Hickey claims that which is rightly his: a berth on NBC's Must-See TV slate, as the freshman hit My Name Is Earl relocates from Tuesday to Thursday at 9 pm/ET, where it will be followed by the equally worthy tagalong The Office. The shake-up also shuffles Will & Grace to the 8 o'clock slot, begging the question — and TVGuide.com wasn't afraid to ask it — of whether Earl will be adding "aided and abetted the bumping of Joey from NBC's lineup" to his famous list of wrongdoings.
