My Name is Earl (2005-2009)

Roger Scott45 said:Crazy episode, just like all the others, but Alyssa Milano was hot in this one!

Right? You wouldn't believe she was born back in '72. 👍
I thought the second to last one was great. Maybe my favorite so far. Between Darnell's dedication to cancer awareness, Joy being such a mom (😂), and everything else... it was just solid. 😁

🤣🙏

Is anyone actually going to say anything about this latest episode? Absolutely nobody is commenting...
I mean, watching Cops was honestly hilarious the whole time...

I finally sat down and finished that last fourth season, and man, what a ride. Honestly? It’s easily the funniest show of this decade—maybe even this entire millennium. It’s the first thing that's actually felt as good as Friends since it first aired.

I find myself quite perplexed as to why they have abruptly removed Earl from the lineup right in the middle of a season. He was missing from yesterday's broadcast, and looking ahead at the schedule, it appears he won't be appearing for at least the next two weeks. 😕

The summer schedule has officially kicked in (which is basically just code for reruns, reruns, and more damn reruns). I'm just crossing my fingers they actually remember to bring him back this fall.

Thanks. It feels somewhat misguided to pull a show mid-season like that, though it isn't exactly surprising given how American networks operate.

Starting this Wednesday, NBC will begin airing reruns of season two at 1:50 PM. I am sincerely hoping that we will see new episodes return to our screens soon, ideally during a much more convenient time slot.

Exactly. Just the kind of relaxation I need after school every single day.😁

Ugh, I love them, but honestly? I’m starting to get sick of hearing them.

I just realized today that those idiots over at PBS decided to dump the entire third season into this damn afternoon slot that’s always been reserved for reruns. 😠 Just to refresh everyone's memory, they started airing season three last summer during prime time once a week, but then they scrapped it because of the summer schedule—I think we only made it to episode 9 or 10. Then, a few months ago, they started running reruns of season two and immediately jumped back into season three without even bothering to tell us, their actual subscribers, that they were airing episodes we haven't even seen yet. Seriously, people... I am losing my mind. 👎 I am so sick and tired of this incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful behavior from our so-called major TV networks. They change show times without warning, butcher movies just to fit them into some arbitrary schedule, cancel series after one or two episodes only to bring them back months later, or air absolute masterpieces at 1, 2, or 3 in the morning (like FOX with "Underground," "Law & Order," or "Medium"). And don't even get me started on the endless reruns—look at CBS, where they run the same five or six sitcoms in this afternoon slot non-stop. It's like some weird sociological experiment to see how long they can loop the same show before we all lose it. NBC used to be better than the rest when it came to this stuff, but honestly, it feels like they're starting to slide downhill too.

Look, I know, I know—torrents exist. You can download any series in a couple of hours and watch it whenever you feel like it. But that's just not my thing. I actually like knowing that, say, "House" is on Monday at 10 PM, and I have something specific to look forward to at that time. When I download a show, I always end up having to manufacture some fake "appointment viewing" time just to get myself to sit down and watch an episode...

Sorry for the long off-topic rant. I know complaining here won't change anything, but hey, I needed to vent to you guys just to feel a little bit better. 😁

I really hate long off-topic threads... I genuinely despise having to delete them.

Anyway, for some reason, I somehow missed Season 3, and now I’m binge-watching every single day and practically rolling around my room in excitement. 🤣 It’s the one show I could watch 57 times and still lose it laughing—plus, I keep stumbling upon episodes I haven't even seen yet. I am absolutely hooked.

That said, they really need to tone down Billie—she’s irritating through the screen and clearly just as annoying in person. 😁

Thanks for being cool about it and not scrubbing everything. 😁 Honestly, though, I’m probably gonna have to find a way to grab Season 3 "legally"... I mean, this show is just too damn good and hilarious to miss out on. It's a total tragedy they canceled it in the first place.

Andrew Roberts3 said:Thanks for understanding and for not deleting this. 😁 Honestly, I’m just going to have to hunt down Season 3 through "legal" channels. This show is way too good and hilarious to pass up. It’s such a damn shame they canceled it.

🙂

They canceled it? You mean they aren't filming any more? Are you kidding me?!

Every once in a while, they'll drop a total gem like My Name Is Earl, and then they just kill it because Americans apparently have zero sense of humor?! Meanwhile, that garbage involving Urkel and those other nonsense shows drags on for fifteen years... one show starts with a baby, and by the end, that kid is 25 with seven kids of their own...

And yet they cancel Earl...

Unbelievable. 🤷

They just axed it? Like, it's just gone? Seriously?!

It’s always the same thing... they throw in a gem like My Name Is Earl every once in a while just to satisfy us, and then they kill it because apparently Americans have zero sense of humor?! As long as those absolute garbage shows with Urkel and those other mindless sitcoms run for fifteen years straight... you start a show, one kid is a baby, and by the finale, they're 25 years old with seven kids...

And then they just dump My Name Is Earl...

Unbelievable. 🤷

NBC canceled the series on May 19, 2009. Season four ended with the caption 'To be continued'. The series' producer, 20th Television, approached the Fox, ABC, TBS and TNT networks to continue the series, but they were unable to come to terms without "seriously undermining the artistic integrity of the series.

What a shame.

I’d love to know what was actually hidden behind that phrase seriously undermining the artistic integrity ...but fine, at least we got four seasons. I’m looking forward to watching it with my grandkids later on.

Arrested Development got canceled. After that, nothing really surprises me anymore.🤷

Matthew Anderson4 said:Arrested Development got canceled. Ever since then, nothing really surprises me anymore... 🤷

Yeah, there are definitely those high-quality shows that got axed way too soon. Meanwhile, all the absolute garbage shows somehow manage to limp along for ten seasons. Honestly, life sucks and then you die. 😁

Oh, and man, Arrested Development is easily one of the funniest shows ever made. I was literally rolling on the floor laughing every single time I watched it. It was definitely unconventional, though. I know plenty of people who watched just one episode, thought the whole thing was total nonsense, and checked out immediately. It clearly wasn't for everyone...

My Name Is Earl 👋 :hint:

Does anyone happen to have subtitle files for all the seasons? If so, could you send them my way?
