anybody catch this show tonight? i didn't think it was funny, and quite frankly i was bored... i usually like jason lee stuff, but i was unimpressed with this...

I have to respectfully disagree Solid ;).

They showed it to us in class the week before last...and I thought it was hilarious. It's definitely not typical...and it's far more "White Trash" than I had originally envisioned...but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really like the concept...and I can't wait to see what ridiculous 'wrongs' he tries to right next. It's getting fantastic reviews from critics...but I none of them think it'll register with the general population...so it probably won't be a hit.

Really liked it. I'm definetly going to keep tuning in. Loads of potential it has.

Agreed, I thought it was very funny. I'm a pretty big Jason Lee fan and I thought this was perfect for him. It's kind of like Joe Dirt Meets ... well Joe Dirt! It was great I can't wait for new episodes. It'll be a nice Tuesday night segue into LOST on Wednesdays!

I can't watch it, cuz its at the same time as House, and Supernatural...and we're watching Supernatural on one tv, and recording House on the computer, so they'res no where to watchi it, lol

i thought it was EXCELLENT, a cross between Scrubs and Raising Arizona. I actually laughed out loud the entire 30 minutes!

Everyone's been comparing it to Raising Arizona! lol...Kinda makes me want to watch Raising Arizona ;)

I have that same problem with it conflicting with Supernatural. I did see in the tv listings that Earl will be on Bravo on Friday I think (don't quote me on that) I think it will be the same ep so I am recording it just in case. :)

Earl managed to pull some pretty good ratings for its premiere last night! :)

So...fingers crossed...if it continues to hold that up...it may be around for awhile :biggrin:

Unlike my other new favourite comedy "Kitchen Confidential" which tanked :(

that would be cool :D if you go to http://www.tv.yahoo.com you can see when and if its on :D
I hope so, it looks funny :D

Supernaturals cool huh?? its not that creepy though, I fell asleep way early yesterday, so my mom taped it for me. and I watched it at like 4 in the morning, lol

I have my PVR set to tape it on Bravo. :)

I liked it, I didn't see yesterday's ep yet. Had that whole Nip/Tuck premiere on. :)

cool :D I hope its funny, my sister said it was pretty good :D

you watch nip/tuck?? is it any good?? I watched like 5 minutes of it once, but I wasn't really paying attnetion.

I have to say I didn't think it was funny at all and I was really looking forward to it. But I'll stay with it for a while to see what happens. (same thing with How I Met Your Mother by the way).

I'm not a big fan of the 30-minutes-canned-laughter shows, so "Earl" was pleasantly different. I think I'll stick with it for a bit and see where it goes.

We enjoyed Earl last night, but we were torn. My husband likes House and I enjoyed Supernatural and wanted to tune in again. I guess I can see the comparison to Raising Arizona, one of my favorite movies. It wasn't quite on the comedic genius level of RA, but it was very cute.

i love jason lee...Mallrats anyone?!

but i missed the show last night...i totally forgot it was on. i'll have to record it on friday. im glad to hear that people like it!

i thought i was the only one with this opinion, i was starting to get worried that maybe i was watching a different show hehe... i don't know, i liken it to blue collar tv humor and it just isn't my thing... it also has a slight Quantum Leap element to it (making the wrong things right) so the premise is half-way decent but come on... so his karma is limited to the wrongs he remembers? lol... i just did not find it funny...

correction on the date, I am recording it on Bravo Sunday night/Monday morning at midnight. :)

Starting a new thread for this... :)

Man, I thought My Name Is Earl was hilarious!

I laughed out loud several times which surprised me, because I was only half listening/watching. I will definitely watch it again. :)

i saw it again earlier this week... there were some okay moments, not sure how much of a chance NBC will give it... but then again, "Joey" is still on the air, so who knows... has it been getting good ratings?

It got great ratings it's first week...and dipped slightly this week...but I think that's normal for a new show..especially one that is probably going to appeal more to a cult audience in terms of the type of comedy. I think it might level off at a good amount of viewers...but we'll have to see what happens next week :)

:frown: aw Joey... I was so hopeful but what a let down! I enjoyed the first season but my husband and I were so disappointed with the 2nd season opener.

As for Earl, I had a hard time watching it between that and Supernatural, my husband insisits on watching Dog the Bounty Hunter and I wanted to see Commander in Chief! Didn't even see that last one. Earl was ok, I'll give it another chance or two...I was totally impressed with the first one, but there's just too much to see on Tuesday nights at the same time...

V.C.R's or Tivo....LOL! ;)

My sister and I both enjoy "My Name is Earl". I've read and heard people comparing it to "Arrested Development" -- great show, enjoyed by critics, but few watch it. Like others have said, the only thing I don't like is that it's on the same time as "Supernatural." I didn't think last week's "Supernatural" was too scary, but the premiere was. Last week's "My Name is Earl" was pretty funny though -- especially since it had Haywire from "Prison Break"!

Really like this show. It's on my must watch list. I've liked Jason Lee ever since Mallrats. I think they are replaying it on Bravo along with The Office.

Earl was the 2nd new show to be picked up for a full season this year :biggrin:

:clap:

Bravo will be playing the show, if they aren't already. I saw commericals a while back.

NBC is playing three episodes of Earl tonight starting at 7:30pm central.

I'd missed it the first time around, but my wife TiVo'ed the marathon reruns so we watched them tonight. It was hillarious.

The Moses parting the Red Sea line about caused me to choke. :biggrin:

I've missed the last few episodes. But I really like Jason Lee and I'm glad to see him in anything!

I've caught all the episodes and I think the show is pretty funny! I think the funniest stuff is with the gay guy cause he's such a nerd. The part where he stuffed himself in the trunk of the car was priceless!

I loved the one this week too. Randy is such a goof. LOL

Ok... even though I watched the first episode, I haven't been back yet to watch another. In fact, I don't even remember what day or time of day the show is on... oops.

I guess it did not reel me in as I thought it would... but I'm glad to see that there seem to be lots of people who do enjoy it.

What a funny show!! I love the Epi where he quits smoking .... and tries to light the carrotts

I started watching this show... Its hysterical. Jason Lee is amazing... ever since Mallrats!
I looove Randy. What an adorable goof. I loved his rant at the end of last weeks.. Life is good and we're living thing. hahahaha. Too funny. With Earl in the background with the paper machet thing. :biggrin:

I just started watching this show last week after hearing rave reviews about it and seriously, it lived up to the hype for me.

Jamie Pressly as his ex-wife is a hoot! And I'm not certain I've ever liked her in anything before. :p

I agree, She's great in this. All her little comments. The bridesmaid one last night and the bad infection. hehehe

I'm not huge into boycotting but I have to draw the line somewhere.

I'm done watching scientologists. Since Jason Lee is one, I refuse to watch his show.

There's just only so much crazy I can put up with.

I just cant believe how much weight the actor that plays Earls brother lost...he used to be HUGE

yea. I was impressed too. Ethan Suplee was a lot bigger in The Butterfly Effect. Good for him:)

They were both in Mallrats. Ethan was a pretty big guy in that one too.

awesome movie. Jason Lee was amazing in it!

Man, did everyone see tonights episode?

Man the ending was funny, he's crossing off his ex from the list with a knife in his leg LOL!

I missed it.. I was watching house. But Ill prolly watch it tomorrow or something... I can't wait. I bet it was wicked funny

Last night's episode was pretty funny. Almost made me kinda have some sympathy towards Joy, but then I remembered what a jerk she is... lol

I am not a big sitcom fan unless it is really good and this one is really funny to me. I hope the writers stay and continue the great stories!

Yeah, this show could go on for a while considering how many things are on his list lol!

I love this show. I especially love the ex wife.

This show is near the top of my "can't miss" list.

I love this show, too! It's cool because it has the funny redneck stereotypes but instead of just rrelying on that, they have that cool list/karma/do good things theme and that's different. And I like t hat.

And I was also impressed at Ethan Suplee's weight loss!! He looks great!

Who watches this show?

I think it's really good. I think it's only about halfway through the first Season here, but I'm really liking it and I'll definetly get the DVD.

What episode has been your favourite and who is your favourite character?

iveo nly managed to catch a few episodes here and thee (why does it have to be shown on a friday...) but i love it,and i'll definitely be getting the DVD when its out here.

i loved the epi with Walt in,and the one where they live in a wal mart for a day - thats sheer genius.

Me! I watch it : Joy is a favourite in our house - how she manages to be so darned likeable, whilst being so selfish it trancends being an attribute to be frowned upon untill it's an art form, is a mystery to us all.

and Randy's very sweet; we adore his moments of ethical clarity and his 'so daft they're genius' notions.

I LOVE this show!!!! It's so great to see such an original comedy and see it suceed so well. I was hoping that Jamiee Presley would win the Emmy though:( It's such a great so, such great acting and writing, it deserves to win all it can get.

I loved the writer(I believe it was for Earl, Greg Garcia's acceptance speech:

"And no thank you to my eighth grade social studies teacher Mr. Macidue who told me to sit down and shut up because I wasn't funny." :roflmao:

It was such a cute speech, I'm so happy he won:D
