Earl gave the donuts to his brother who was next in line. Doesn't that count?

"Where I come from, we have these things called 'banks.'"

FYI: NBC is showing the first 3 episodes of Earl tonight, starting at 8:30 p.m. EDT.

Caught the recent episode tongiht, loved that music that was also in Happy Gilmore. This is a really great show so far. Hope it can go one for a while.

Caught the marathon on NBC today, never saw it before tonight. Excellent stuff - nice to see Jason Lee in a good role again. I'm definetly adding this show to my PVR.

Anyone else have trouble watching ep1? Very strange - it looked like the red layer was shifted over to the right about 1/5 of the screen. Lots of drops, then the channel went completely blank.

Scared the bejeepers out of me, I was sure it was my new Sammy 6168 committing early suicide. But, every other channel was perfect. Time Warner Austin maybe having some problem?

I guess I was lucky enough to have recorded the first 3 episodes before starting to watch the show. The pilot was a bit slow and I could see how some might have been turned off right away, but since the pilot was the setup for the entire series, things quickly got off to a great start by the 2nd episode. By the third episode, I was salivating for MORE!

Anyways, I absolutely LOVE this show! And that's a rarity for me since I tend to hate most TV shows.It's funny you say that, because that's how I explained this show to a friend. It definitely has that kind of tone to it.

Wendy_L, what's wrong with finding Catalina hot? Isn't that kind of the point of her character???

I loved Joy's reaction when Randy let "slip" that the lottery money was still in the impounded car, but what did Joy say after she fell while rushing out the door? I could not make it out.

 

[Walter Kittel]

Alan, When Joy fell she said something to the effect of -

'Ohhh.. I busted open my rug burns.'



I really love everything about this show, and agree with others that it does feel like Raising Arizona with its wildly comic characters. One other thing I'll comment on is how well suited the music has been to date. The use of E.L.O. and Lynyrd Skynyrd in the last two episodes has been just about perfect in terms of matching music and mood.

Mark,
don't mind Wendy, she likes to bust my balls about things like that, you just have to know her to understand.

Wendy,
if you read this, get better fast, baby. :frowning:

Gotcha! Boys RULE!

I didn't see any mention of this while scanning previous posts so I thought I'd share:

NBC PICKS UP NEW HIT COMEDY 'MY NAME IS EARL' FOR FULL-SEASON ORDER -- MUST BE GOOD KARMA

WOO HOO!

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

Well, it wasn't as good as last week I thought, but it had its moments. I really got a kick out of Randy's explaining why it was better to be alive than dead.

It was the first episode that Joy did not appear in, unless I really spaced out.

Nothing that really required him to spend any of his $100,000 either.

 

[Patrick Sun]

I had a good time with tonight's episode, lots of LOL moments for me, mainly with Randy's bits and and Dax brought some of the funny.

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

Another winner! Earl acting 'bad to the bone' was hilarious.

Catalina laying poolside was also a nice highlight.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

Yeah, Randy's definitely turning into a definable character. I'm amused to no end by his rants about obvious shit that happen while he's utterly oblivious of what's going on around him.

 

[Citizen87645]

There were some great lines in this one. Too many to list...

 

[Nick Martin]

Bit of trivia- the clingy, crazy girl is Jason Lee's fiancee.

 

[teapot2001]

I liked Catalina bending over the pool table.

[Jeremy_Watson]

I think the funniest part to me was Randy thinking that E.T. was some strange monkey.

 

[MarkHastings]

I really like Catalina's role in the show. They didn't go for the typical "bombshell/bimbo" type. She seems to be the glue (and brains) that holds the show together. I loved that too!

As was mentioned before, the music cues definitely make the show great. In thinking ahead to the DVD release, hopefully they can get the rights because those moments wouldn't be as great with different music.
