His name is Earl...
This is one of the funniest shows on TV! Jason Lee's Earl and his white trash friends and relations are so close to real it's scary. They are like Springer guests that got their own sitcom. But what's cool is that between the stupid foul ups and trailer trash behavior, it's the story of Earl, who's recently discovered the concept of Karma, going out to make up for every crappy thing he ever did to anyone. It's funny, but it's got a heart too.
You probably recognize Jason Lee (Earl) from Mallrats, Chasing Amy and all the other Kevin Smith flicks ...or you might even recognize his voice from The Incredibles where he played Syndrome. Every time I see this dude on screen, big or small, I find him instantly likable...even when he's playing an a-hole.
His dunderheaded brother Randy is played by Ethan Suplee, another Kevin Smith film regular (he was the guy in Mallrats who spent the whole movie staring at the "magic eye" poster). He plays dumb with the best of them.
And, of course, it doesn't hurt a thing that Earl's ex-wife Joy (the trailer trashiest of them all) is played by Jaime Pressly. Yeah, I got the hots for that little firecracker...now I get to see her once a week. ;)
Seriously though, the show is really funny, check it out.

Dude, I missed the inital airings of this show but when they reran 'em one night (back to back), I was hooked. Mostly my interest in watching it was because of the hottie. But it's now one of my favorite shows. I think next month, they're moving it to Thursdays against CSI.
Geez! I hope that doesn;tkill it. I mean I suppose they might figure people might want a less serious option opposite CSI...but I like to watch both and I hate having to either choose or record something and find time to watch it later. I'll probably keep watching Earl since I know CSI is secure in the rating and then catchCSI in summer reruns....or in reruns on one of the 400 cable channels that show CSI reruns. :D
Speaking of the hottie...do you have any idea how tough it is to find a picture of Jaime Pressly on the internet that's NOT nude?!?!
I know... she did a spread in Playboy and they've been circulating like crazy.
I don't have cable, so I've never seen this show...... but I think Jason Lee is hilarious.
It's on NBC!! You don' need no steenking cable! :D
Aw, man. I was hoping when I saw it was moving to Thursday it'd be the 8 o'clock spot. Damn. I only got to see the repeats they run every few Saturdays.
It's hilarious, and my name is Earl. hah. Sad isn't it.
The only time I've watched it on it's regular night was when House wasn't on.
I love this show. I agree that Jason Lee is a great comedic actor and Mr. Pressly makes me drool.
Funny show. I like the Earl and Office combo. I saw they are moving it to Thursdays. Hope it does alright there.
