Hi everyone. I'm new to the message board. I've never actually seen the televison show before - due in part to the fact that I don't have a television set, but my co-workers seem to think that the show is ingenius. I'm sure that I would agree if I ever decide to purchase a television and sign on with a cable company. I'm wondering if I could pick up your television station with rabbit ears. I should really look into that. Anyhow, my co-workers were just telling me about 'hotel hockey', what a great idea! Take care everyone! Oh, by the way, I'm a visitor from Brasil and I really love America.

I can't describe how funny this show is! I don't know if you could pick it up. I thought nobody didn't have a TV.

Thank you Greg Garcia, Mark Buckland and cast for giving us a fresh, original, genuinely funny show in the vast meanspirited wasteland that television has become. Clever, offbeat -- there's always something that catches me by surprise and has me laughing out loud (Like Randy's "Ricola" call in the water tower last night). And how can you argue with a premise that has a character changing his ways to try to live a better life? I love it! Earl's wardrobe is also a blast from the past -- I remember that layered look style from the 70s....keep up the good work, all -- long may the series run!
JackBernanke
I love this show! Randy and Earl are hilarious together!
laluis
Oh well yes that is true and that is what I thought as well when I came to California. In Brasil of course television shows are very popular to watch but not everybody has a television set.

You're right - My Name is Earl is by far one of the best series I've seen in years. It's on TV in my country too (Sweden) - two episodes shown so far - and I can't wait for the next! Awesome!!!
Addicted2Aero
Absolutely! I absolutely LOVE this show!!! I sooo look forwards to Thursday Nights just so I can get my "Earl Fix"

The entire cast is awesome!!!
Addicted2Aero
I have to agree 200%!! I think the show and all of it characters is amazing!! I hope it will become the next Seinfeld and stay on the tube for many, many, many years to come!!!!!!
Addicted2Aero
YES! My Name is Earl is hilarious! I hope someday you get the chance to tune in. I'm pretty much computer illiterate but I'm pretty sure you can even download and watch the show via your computer.
Addicted2Aero
only a lil over 2 hours until it's Earl time!! Whoo hoo!!

I'm currently watching this in Edinburgh. We're up to episode 12. I can quite honestly say that this is one of the funniest,clever well-written and well-acted shows I have seen in a long time. It's awesome!! Keep it coming.
Addicted2Aero
WOOT!! Yet another "double shot" of Earl tonight!!! They will rerun "Teacher Earl" @ 8:30 and then a brand spanking new episode "Boogeyman"
vvskgn
Great show and all my friends love it and I really hope you guys will keep giving us good comedy which is much needed in today's Tv.
Addicted2Aero
It is a great show!! I look forward to Thursday Nights just for Earl!!! I just wish more people would join in on the conversations on this board...it's almost like a ghost town round here most days.

While I never really appreciated the intense wonder of Seinfeld, I can really enjoy the phenomenon that is Earl. I too could watch this show every day and I can't wait to get the seasons on DVD, but why the change to Thursdays?
Addicted2Aero
I loved Seinfeld! I didn't care too much for the main character, but the rest of the cast made the show SUPER! What I was trying to say (Seinfeld vs. Earl) is that I hope that it stays around in syndication for just as long. I don't know why the change to Thursdays, dosen't really matter to me, I'll watch Earl, no matter what night it is on. I have all the episodes recorded on DVD, but I'll still buy the DVD set if it becomes available. I'm Addicted2Earl...lol

Hi
I watched "my name is earl" for the first time this week after seeing the photo of jamie pressly in FHM magazine. However, I was deeply disapponted with the trashy part she plays. This show is extremely mediocre and the first sign that imagination is seriously shallow is when they resort to the overplayed white girl-black dude scenario. The show loses all integrity and I refuse to watch. Its very insulting.
finneces
You don't like this show, but its ok to go on the show's website and give out about it!!!!
This is a great show, and loved by people all over the world (I'm from Ireland).
In my opinion, you should get a life and stop watching tv shows because you seen an actress in the show in a porn mag.
Addicted2Aero
I couldn't have said it better Finneces. As long as the internet is available there will be "trolls" going to message boards devoted to a particuliar thing, and then start negative threads just to get the real fan all fired up. This board is pretty dead most of the time, but we still don't need that crap.

He/she can see pics of Jamie pressley in a mag, but slam her for A ROLE she plays in a TV Show??

My Name is Earl is a brilliant show, 1 less person watching won't make much of a difference. Good thing they have their magazines to look at....lol

I think your missing the point. This show is very Ironic (or sarcastic) if you will about certain ways of american life which is not often seen in america (as it is not often understood as it is in england where I live, or scotland even but not so much in wales or ireland). In my opinion it is very well written and does not suffer from the commitee system of writing used in most sitcoms in america much to their detriment. It is very much in the vein of many british comedies that have used sarcasm succesfully for many years (which is why it is quite succesfull over hear as much of our comedy seems to be very leftfield). I am not trying to be arsey or anything but I can see where the writer is coming from in that the main characters are not slick (or even they don`t come across as slimy) average people.

By the way FHM is about a million miles away from porn. It is however the most sucesfull export of the British "LadMags". However Loaded is the biggest in Britain (though it has gone majorlly downhill since the original writers sold it to a big publisher). I have been to Ireland and seen the stuff that is sold in newsagents over there. You cannot even get the Daily Sport (a newspaper that shows a lot of women with naked breasts!!!) So please don`t call FHM porn as it is just a run of the mill ladsmag!!!

Hi everyone! I never even new about Jason Lee until My Name is Earl! Great show! It's about the only good thing on right now.
MyNameisMikeEarl
Hi, kaylee!

Isn't it nice to have an ORIGINAL show for once, rather than a copycat of some so-called "reality show"? Heck, I think Earl is more "reality", we all probably know somebody that is like at least one of the characters on the show.
Addicted2Aero
Welcome to the boards!! Hope you will hang out and chat a bit with us fellow fans.
welcome to ya im new here also yea jason lee and eathan suplee are great actors check out mall rats great movie

Had my first taste of Earl with the double episode last week. By the time the second episode came on I was hooked! My girlfriend and I can't stop repeating the sequence when the girl goes "We can go to the Farmers Market!", to which Earl replies, "The Who's What?". This will be etched in my comedic memory forever! Hence, the Display Name!

I just feel bad that I missed so much up until now.

And up until I read his bio I had no idea that Jason Lee was the friend in Vanilla Sky. He is great.

Hi TheWhosWhat!

Great show, ain't it?

"I just feel bad that I missed so much up until now".

Don't worry, they should be going into reruns soon!
Addicted2Aero
lmao @ The Who's What? My best friend loves going to farmer's markets, etc. I don't, so that phrase strikes my funny bone as well.
Ruth42
I think you said it all......perfectly. I so agree. FHM isnt porn....and its too bad the guy didnt get into 'Earl' his loss.
finneces
Firstly, I apologise, if I insulted anyone who buys FHM. But I am a fan of My Name is Earl and felt I had to defend it.
We do however get all the 'lads mags', daily sport etc. in Ireland. Pictures of scantily clad women are porn (even if it is soft porn) and I never said there was anything wrong with that!

Good Karma to all!

The Earl show makes me exited, just like having sex, what about you!!!!
Addicted2Aero
Earl makes you "exited?" LMAO!! I could go on, but I'll leave it at that!!

How can anyone watch this? I can't even stand the ads for it. Ditto for "the office". No one with and I.Q. higher than their age would make it through one episode. I certainly have no desire to watch. And yet you cancelled West Wing???????????
EarlPorter
I like the show and hope its on FOREVER !
Cozmicfarm if you dont like My Name Is Earl Dont watch it... no one is forcing you to watch it. If you dont like the show thats ok, just dont look down on us Earl fans or insult us. And I was just wondering but if you dont like the show why did you take the time to come here and insult it and its fans ?

Addicted2Aero
OH BOY! Here we go again!!

If ya don't like it, don't watch it!! I don't like "The Office" either, so when Earl is over, I change the channel.
Simple as that!!

West Wing was a good show...but it put it's time in...just like That 70's Show, it is indeed time to retire.
BubbaMax2003
I love watching this show. I have been a Jason Lee fan since his Kevin Smith movie days. Those movies are a must see for JL fans. As others have said, if you don't like Earl, don't watch. As for The Office, I used to watched the original on BBC America. It was very funny. When it was made for an American audience, the first few episodes did nothing for me. However, that show has grown on me.

Hi all,

I was knocked out by the bee bee gun episode and the season finale. Ordered ny Earl truckers cap and for some reason it came next day air. I don't think I ordered it that way but it was good cuz I had it on for the bee bee gun episode. I just wish my Dwight Shrute Bobble Heads would come as quickly!
trB7
dont like it? dont watch it!

simple as. as for the office, can't believe they re-made it for an american audience!! if you dont get the humour, tough! why do american TV execs always do that?? Red Dwarf similarly re-made for an american audience! do you guys need subtle comedy spelling out for the masses?? they never re-made the "Pythons" yet they created a cult following over there! bizarre! cue americanist abuse!
nailman39
I think Earl and the Office is NBC's newest incarnation of Thursday night domination! MNE is hilarious, and who doesn't think that Jaimie Pressley is not the cutest ex-wife on TV!
BrianFromGreeneville
OK... this is the first time I've every gotten enthusiastic enough about a TV show to post a message on a forum. This show is brilliant!!! The "Made a Lady Think I Was God" show was true to the charm of the show. The list is the heart of the show, please don't stray from it! Roseanne was Great! Gosh...the subteleties are what make the show - from Mr. Turtle to the guy with the electronic voicebox. This is the ONLY TV show I record on a regular basis! I only wish more people got it! Ya'll must spend a fortune clearing music copyrights. It would be cool to see the one-legged girl again - but Earl making it up with her is more like a series closer. Keep true to the heart of the show...play the intro. part where Earl says..."I'm just trying to be a better person, my name is Earl." Making up for past bad karma has heart...anyone (with heart) can resonate with that. I LOVE your show.
Best wishes,
-Brian

I loved that episode, as well. This is a great show... I think it has a wonderful message and can teach us a lot about how we could live our lives in a better way.

Great episode, great show, but The Office still has Earl beat. Sorry.

The Office 8:30-7:30 central NBC.
voteShrute
Sorry, but My Name is Earl can't possibly be "the best show on television," The Office already has that title. And that's the law according to the rules. tongue.gif
