My Name Is Earl

The show was started back in 2005 and was almost immediately one of the most watched TV shows at the time. Of course it was later to be canceled after its 4th season. Though that is NBC for you.


The show follows Earl Hickey (guy in the middle with the mustache). As he describes at the beginning of some episodes, Earl was a bad guy whose life sucked. But then one day he learns about Karma. He realizes that his life sucks because of how bad a person he has been. So he writes a list ("The List" as it  is later referred to as) of all the bad things he has ever done in his life. The show follows him as he goes from person to person telling them about what he did to them and attempting to make it up to them in some way or another. Earl's brother is along for the ride as he is a bit of an idiot and can't fully take care of himself. Randy (the brother) is the larger man on the far left. Randy is in love with Catalina who is the the brunette female in the photo. Catalina is an illegal immigrant who works both as a maid for a hotel, and later as a stripper. The show also involves a lot of contact with Earl's Ex-Wife Joy and her new husband Darnell (the blonde and the man with wonderfully fluffy hair). 

It's a rather enjoyable show, though they do use the same jokes repeatedly throughout the series. The show is a narrative comedy. They make plenty of gay jokes, penis jokes, beautiful idiot jokes, and more. There are 4 seasons with a total of 96 episodes. Each episode is about 22 minutes long. 

So all in all I really liked the show. It was some pleasant comedy whenever I felt like it. Though I feel I should warn you that the show ends terribly. It was cancelled and as such was unable to finish it properly.The final episodes ends with a cliffhanger and a "To Be Continued..." But of course it is never actually continued. Anyways the show gets a 9.5 out of 11.
