My Name Is Pretty Darn Good!!!!

Once again through the magic of Torrents.To I have fallen in love with a show that might make me rethink my No Network Shows policy.

My Name Is Earl.

A lifelong loser played by Jason Lee (Mostly of Kevin Smith movies fame) that leads a crime ridden life hits a lottery followed by a car. During his stint in the hospital he sees Carson Daly talking about karma and how he leads a good life and good things happen to him. This clicks with Earl and he makes a list of all the bad things he has done and sets out to fix them so he can better his life.

His brother Randy helps him since he is incapable of doing anything without much help. He is usually the cause of much laughter during the show since he usually unintentionally makes Earl's life harder.

He has a crazy ex-wife who is brilliantly played by Jaime Pressly is Earl's main foil. She does trailer trash so well you grow to like her antics to make everyone's life around her miserable. She is vile and self centered and has a motive for everything but you just love her screen time!!!!

Her husband Darnell the Crabman is the father of her second illegitimate child. You would probably remember him from the Office Max Rubberband Man commercials. Yep, same guy! He is good, funny, and Earl and Randy's friend.

The other main character is Catalina a very hot illegal immigrant who works at the motel that Earl and Randy live in. She is their friend and helps out while being the source of a few one liners.

The stories are usually wrapped up in each episode but there is enough of a thread running through each to provide continuity from show to show.

My Name Is Earl is very good comedy. It has some great laugh out loud moments, especially when you are familiar with the characters and their motivations.

Since I really don't like following a show from week to week with the exception of the Sopranos and I'm regretting that one, Earl is a good way to kill a few hours.

Get it, you won't regret it!!!!
