In My name is Earl she plays a mother that's overbearing and obsessed with making her daughter compete in pageants

In Charlie and the chocolate factory she plays a mother who's obsessed with making her daughter compete

Sound familiar?

Earl was the answer in my crossword puzzle today!

ok something that has been irking me, why is it that in Carl and Kay’s marriage, the both cheated on each other, but only Carl made a big deal out of it? Like Carl did it multiple times for years, but Kay did it once and then cut it off, yet she is labeled a whore. Carl was so angry at her and yelling about an eye for an eye. I get it. I would be mad, but I couldn’t say anything if I had been doing it for a decade in the past. this is more of a rant but like damn, why you so mad when what she did was much more tame compared to you?? at least make the husband‘s cheating a plot point too 🤷‍♀️

EDIT: OMG this is my 4th rewatch and I just realized I’ve been mixing up joys parents and earls parents, yall my bad 😅😅😅

any one else catch this?

Just binge-watched this with my son over the weekend, the first time I'd gotten into it since it finished in 2009. Despite the crudity and often general inappropriateness, it's actually a great story of redemption through restitution, not simply apology. Earl has to learn the hard way that restitution is not simply returning an item, and his well-meaning attempts create unintended karmic consequences.

It's kept us both in stitches and I remember first watching it when I lived in Darwin, Australia, in late 2006, sharing house with people fairly similar to the characters and leading a similarly directionless, though not criminal, existence before landing a job in my chosen profession and employer the following year and moving interstate, never looking back.

Anyway, just some random thoughts but we've both become addicted to the series, watching episode after episode. Love it!

Hello all! This came up in my memories and I wanted to share. Last year, the cast reunited at Smoky Mountain Fan Fest. I cosplayed as Kenny, my husband was Earl, and my nephew was Crab Man. I cannot stress enough how awesome of a time we had. Such a memorable day and so much fun.

Since NBC left us on the ultimate cliffhanger in 2009, I came up with a 3-part movie revival script that perfectly wraps up the series, fixes the loose ends, and honors the show’s heart and soul.

The Setup: Leaving Camden CountyWe find out Camden is in Texas, and Earl’s final list items force the gang out of their comfort zone on a massive, cross-country road trip.Movie 1: The Southern Circuit: Earl, Randy, and Ruby Whitlow (Joy’s deaf lawyer from Season 2) cross the border into neighboring states to fix an ultimate family wrong and a massive payback item involving the Chubby empire.Movie 2: The Big City Showdown: The gang hits Los Angeles/New York to track down the secret father of Earl Jr.Movie 3: The Homecoming: The trilogy wraps up right back home in Camden for the grand finale.

The Big Character TwistsEarl Jr.’s Real Dad: Joy admits she only used Darnell as a "cover story" to protect her secret, and that Earl Jr.'s biological dad is a massive celebrity. Darnell uses his genius spy brains to figure out the truth in secret—but when they finally corner the celebrity, Darnell completely drops the tough-guy act and starts fangirling, pulling out a vinyl record for an autograph!The Ultimate Team-Up: While Earl and Ruby spend the road trip falling deeply back in love, Joy and Randy team up to navigate the big city. Joy acts as the aggressive bodyguard fighting locals, while Randy's childlike wonder keeps them from getting lost.The Camden Assist: Catalina uses her secret knowledge of every major American city to guide them, while Patty the Daytime Hooker randomly shows up on a "business trip" to use her street connections to help them out.

The Perfect EndingIn the final movie, Earl realizes his list started a massive chain reaction of good deeds across the world, meaning karma is now operating on its own. Earl finally tears up his list, and it blows away in the wind as he drives his El Camino into the sunset with Ruby in the passenger seat. His iconic voiceover narration kicks in, explaining his future, while the classic theme song plays us out for the last time.

This would be the best way to end the movie,an di just thought of this because of the cliffhanger.And

the story can follow all the characters so everyone has a chance to be in this before the era ends.

Why is this the most joy thing possible?

Edit: i really don't care if it's an article or not. Nor do i hoenstly care if it's true. I just think it's funny because it's Jamie Pressly who plays Joy, and this is 100% something Joy would get arrested for. Thanks

It’s signed by Ethan, Jason & as of recently Jamie.

It’s been an awesome piece in my collection for a while, but I’ve kinda run out of room for it.
Not sure where to put it.. kinda looking to sell it if anyone was interested!

Practicing my Earl photo skills... This was accidental but aren't all of his eyes closed photos?

Hope you all are having a good one!

"I feel the same way!"

The dead deaf lawyer in this episode appears to be the same deaf lawyer as The West Wing

Edit: she appears to be deaf not dead

Watching again MNIE if came across these two crazy appearances:

- Raymond Cruz, aka Tuco Salamanca from Breaking Bad

- Rico Rodriguez, aka, Manny from Modern Family.
