My Name is Earl
Posted on September 21, 2005 at 11:09 PM EST
Last night was the first episode of My Name is Earl, which stars Jason Lee. It is Blue Collar TV at its best and is a mix betwen “King of the Hill” and “Raising Arizona”.
The premise of the show is that Earl, a raggedy guy, watches TV host Carson Daly tell a guest that he attributes his success to karma, the notion that good things happen to good people, bad things to bad people. Earl decides that karma is the secret to life and that he needs to be a better person by making up for all the bad things he’s done in the past. While picking up trash he finds a winning lottery ticket for $100,000 that he had previously lost, shortly after he almost backs out of his plan. He decides to keep his goal and ends up taking a guy that he used to pick on all the time when he was little to a gay bar so he could meet a guy.
I thought it was well written and was funny all throughout the show. I have high hopes for it and hope the rest of the episodes are as good as the first. Here are a few lines from the show that I found to be particularly funny:
Ain’t no use running fool, i know where your momma parks your house
Patty doesn’t care if a man has muscles, muscles can’t buy Mad Dog
I tried Earl, I did, towards the end I even pulled out my good boob
Earl, I think you’re trying to sell a cat to a man who fancys dogs
