Last year My Name is Earl tried something different, and many people did not like it. Instead of concentrating on his list, Earl landed in prison and then a coma.
Well, I know what the writer's were trying to do, break out of the box they had constructed for themselves by making each and every episode about an item on his list. While what they did was not as popular, I am glad they did it. And broke the cycle, and I think it will pay off dividends. I think it already is, with the season premier.
We saw two episodes on Thursday night, and the first was again about Earl's list. A funny episode guest starring Seth Green. The opening was hilarious as Joy was making her kids Make A Wish t-shirts so they could get in free places.
But the second episode was good because it left the list again, and no one made a fuss about it. It was about Earl finding out his mom had an affair years ago, with a next door neighbor. No righting of a wrong he had done. But it still had a moral, and it still was vintage Earl. And I think that was the big benefit from what they did last season, it freed them up to make some shows about the list and others about Earl's life. I hope it will pay off even more this year.
The show also has hotties Jamie Presley and Nadine Valazquez which makes it very watchable.
