MARRIAGE OR JAIL?-- MICHAEL RAPAPORT GUEST STARS--Earl (Jason Lee) is visited by Joy (Jaime Pressly) and is surprised that another prisoner also in visitation happens to be someone both Joy and Earl know. Frank (Michael Rapaport), an old friend of Earl and an old coworker of Joy, describes how he ended up in prison. The story takes place right before Joy and Earl met, and helps explain how many of them grew to become a part of each other's life. Eddie Steeples, Ethan Suplee, and Nadine Velazquez also star.

I liked this episode, but it felt like something was missing. It was only average for me. But I thought it was hysterical when Joy said, I saved you 18 years!""

OMG joy taking the test in the store was one of the best earl moments ever

^^^ That totally shocked me!!

So, let's see, Liz and I are the only two who watched this week? I guess those people were serious when they said they were quitting the show!!

Either that or they liked this episode. I haven't watched it yet. I'm on the west west west west coast.

Yeah, nothing TOO objectionable this week!

I thought the part where Randy felt Joy up was funny but her taking the pregnancy test in the store THEN putting it back on the shelf... OMG!!! ROFLMAO!!!

Don't worry, no one stopped watching Earl. Those people were just uncomfortable and acting out because of it. If they were loyal viewers before... they are still around. They just figured out that the rest of us "Earl" viewers are smart enough to see the real issues...

I liked the backstory introducing CrabMan (which sounds like a super-hero), the Crab Shack, the hotel, the trailor, the El Camino, Catalina... it wrapped it up in a nice little package for us.

When Earl voiced an appreciation (for the first time) that Joy tricked him in to getting married... I thought that put the bow right on top.

Nice episode.

okay what was up with crab man still? Is he like a super genius?? I felt so bad for him in his witness protection class. I hope this means too that we get to learn about joys baby's father. I love the fact they rented the kitchen!!!
