My Name is Earl opinons
 

I'm living in Europe so I don't get this program. I thought Jason Lee was very funny in a couple of movies. Should I purchase the Season 1 DVD?

The Office is NBC's best comedy, and it isn't even close.

Re: My Name is Earl opinons
 

Awful.

Re: My Name is Earl opinons
 

I hated it when it first came on. Now it's watchable, but far from worth buying.

Re: My Name is Earl opinons
 

watchable, a few chuckles, not worth owning.

Re: My Name is Earl opinons
 

A lot of people I know just love this show. It's not bad but I much prefer The Office.

Re: My Name is Earl opinons
 

I really liked this show alot. Jason Lee is really good. Ethan Suplee is phenomenal and Jaime Pressly does a pretty good job as well. It's not as good as the office, but I definitely get a bunch of laughs from this show.

and some people think cucumbers taste better pickled.

what the hell? he didn't ask what you thought was the best comedy ever, or whether it's "close". he aske about My Name is Earl.

Re: My Name is Earl opinons
 

Great show. Some of the best laughs of the season, but your mileage may vary. Comedy is subjective.

Re: My Name is Earl opinons
 

It's a great and very easy going Comedy show. Def. get it.

I never really see the point of buying a DVD set of a TV show (well, I guess if it's a really old show, for nostalgia), but it's definitely worth a rental. Funny show.

Ummmm....I live in Europe and have never seen it.

Pretty entertaining show. Relative to your average sitcom, it's good. Relative to the show on right after it it's not that great, but few things are.

Ummmm...is it available to rent in Europe? Does iTunes sell episodes of this? Maybe just grab a couple of torrents to see if you like it first, instead of just relying on others opinions.

IJaime Pressly does a pretty good job as well.

For some reason, she turns me on on this show. Trashy, blonde, gum-popping... There was one episode where she called someone a fruitcake, in that trashy way, with that accent. I [censored] love it.

Re: My Name is Earl opinons
 

I don't think it's awful, but you shouldn't go out of your way to watch it.

FWIW I don't Tivo it, but I Tivo King of Queens.

Even better if she's not. Then I'd be in love with her and not who she plays.

I know what you mean. I love it when she gets pumped up about somethign and says, "Ohh Snap." with that trashy accent. It is definitely hot in a weird way.

Re: My Name is Earl opinons
 

I liked it when she refered to metrosexuals and half-fruits.

Re: My Name is Earl opinons
 

All - Jamie Pressley has been very hot and trashy for quite some time. This isn't really a new revelation.

I've been missing out. This is the first show/movie I've seen with her in it playing a memorable role.

Re: My Name is Earl opinons

Re: My Name is Earl opinons
 

I have a friend named Earl.

He is black.

I call him "my black friend Earl"

True story.



(FWIW, Ive never seen the show in question)

The character of Patty, the day-time hooker, cracks me up too.

Classic lines:
"It's not the lies that screw up relationships, Earl, it's the finding out."

"Cigarettes don't grown on trees!"

"Earl? Do snakes have fur?"

"We're gonna be richer than 'What you talkin' bout's white daddy."


"You steal enough purses, you learn a few things about mace."

"I don't know why people complain about this asbestos stuff. It doesn't smell so bad."

"Man, I wish I had robot legs. Or robot hands. Robot hands would be cool. With like a knife finger, and a spoon finger, and a fork finger, and a toothbrush finger, and a comb finger, and a bottle opener finger, and a flashlight finger, and a screwdriver finger. But regular thumbs. You gotta have regular thumbs."

"Wakey. Wakey. Hands off snakey."

"I don't care if she's Chinese, Vietnamese or Chucky Cheese."

"I'm not telling Randy, he's afraid of chickens... and the Pope's big hat, but mainly because he thinks there's a chicken under it."

"Being blind is not fun - I don't know why Stevie Wonder smiles all the time."

"I hope you get nut cancer you son of a bitch!"

"This hot dog tastes like zoo."

"Ain't no use running, fool! I know where your mama parks your house."

Passerby: I'll give you $1800 for it if it runs.
Earl: It runs, just not right now. It's out of gas.
Passerby: [pauses] I'll give you $1785 for it.
Randy: Take it Earl! You know this car isn't worth more than $1500!
Passerby: $1500.
Randy: Take it Earl, we're desperate!
Passerby: $1200.

Re: My Name is Earl opinons
 

"It's so-so. Don't waste your money." is the epitome of this series.

i'm personally a fan of Jason Lee's work. I eagerly anticipated this season.
it delivered maybe three quality episodes, and however many crap episodes. especially the entire second half of the series.

Its not really worth buying on DVD, i might consider renting it or netflixing it if you had that option - it would be worth $5 or so to watch the few funny episodes but its not "worth" owning.

of course, if you just buy a bunch of movies and don't care about dropping $20 then you could spend $20 on a lot worse...

In terms of good-lookingness, she is far from the best looking on the show. It's the combination of factors (accent, trashiness, attitude, things she says) that makes her the most attractive on the show to me.

Re: My Name is Earl opinons
 

i think the show is very good

the office (both US and UK versions) is still better, but that doesn't mean u can't get My Name Is Earl and enjoy it as well

otherwise, we'd just say "get seasons 4-9 of The Simpsons and the first two seasons of Family Guy" whenever anyone asks about getting any sitcom-on-dvd

Re: My Name is Earl opinons
 

I thought this was gonna be a poll on whether the OP's name (Earl) was good.
