"My Name is Earl" -- 5/16/2008 Episode

The part that had me laughing the hardest was Billie going around undoing all of Earl’s good deeds. Stealing Didi’s leg, having people laugh at the freaks, playing Nescobar a Lop Lop’s own voice to him on a tape recorder, outing Kenny to his parents…

I agree that this season rocked. I was skeptical about the whole prison thing at first, but it all worked out in the end. I reckon that’s how karma works sometimes.

You know, I was not too crazy about the prison episodes when they first aired. They were okay funny, but I do not remember too many “laugh out loud” moments. I think I need to watch my tapes again (Yes, I still use VHS tapes!) – maybe those episodes will grow on me after repeated viewings.

And it did all work out in the end, didn’t it? The show seems back on track. I can’t wait for next season!

“My accent is terrible! People should hate foreigners!” :smiley:

And DAMN did that Camdenite girl become hot! I mean, yeah, you could see some cuteness coming through the little outfit she was wearing, but when she became “regular”? Well, let’s just say there’s a little saying going around about me, my bunk, and my proximity to it.

I think this quote sums up the episode nicely. At its heart, Earl should be a show that is nearly self-contained each episode. A little “overview” plot for the regulars (like reoccuring characters), but approachable to the strangers.

I liked when every episode was a morality play revolving around an item on the list. This season got way too far away from it (except maybe the Prison episodes, which I loved). They also tried some bold concept episodes which I thought failed (Catalina’s soap opera).

After the episode, which was good, I thought just what gytalf2000 said. The show is positioned to get back to its roots next season.

And I thought the ending was excellent. I love when Earl solves an issue in a creative manner. Delivering Billie to the Camdenites was awesome and the use of “Take Me Home Country Roads” as a song to end the show was well done (I downloaded John Denver’s version the next day).

All in all, a choppy season, but thankfully it will be back next year in good form.
