The most original comedy since Arrested Development, My Name is Earl marked the launch of a lovable new loser. Earl Hickey (Jason Lee) sleeps all day and drinks all night. The pattern ends when he buys a "scratcher"--and wins $100,000. Seconds later, he's hit by a car and loses the ticket. While in the hospital, wife Joy (Emmy nominee Jaime Pressly) leaves him for Darnell the Crab Man (Eddie Steeples). Doped up on morphine, he's watching TV when Carson Daly says something about karma. Earl decides that's his problem: bad karma. He resolves to spend the rest of his life making up for all the harm he's ever done. In the pilot, Earl and brother Randy (Ethan Suplee) start by picking up litter around their motel (Joy got the trailer). While they're at it, Earl finds the lost ticket and collects his bounty. The plan is working! Along with comely maid Catalina (Nadine Velazquez), they set off to right more wrongs. Created by Greg Garcia and teamed with The Office, My Name is Earl put NBC back on the must-see comedy map. Unlike most sitcoms, it drops the studio audience in favor of flashbacks, freeze frames, first-person narration, and extensive So-Cal location work. A soundtrack heavy on blue collar favorites, like Lynyrd Skynyrd, completes the picture. Throughout the season, Earl gives an old girlfriend self-respect ("Faked My Own Death"), plans his ex-wife's big day ("Joy's Wedding"), and makes up for the birthday he ruined ("Monkeys in Space"). First year guests include Brett Butler ("White Lie Christmas"), Juliette Lewis ("The Bounty Hunter"), and Emmy nominee Jon Favreau ("O Karma, Where Art Thou?"). Giovanni Ribisi and Beau Bridges also stop by as, respectively, Earl's pal Ralph and father Carl. Speaking of originality, "Dad's Car," which takes place during Mother's Day, features commentary from the mothers of Lee, Suplee, Garcia, and director Marc Buckland. --Kathleen C. Fennessy Stills from the First Season of My Name Is Earl (click for larger image)

The best US sitcom since "Friends" March 21, 2009
marky77 (England)
In my opinion, "My Name Is Earl" is one of the best post-"Friends" US sitcoms, it's funny, origional and most episodes manage to deliver a good message.
In the first episode we meet Earl Hickey and see right away that he is basically a "bad" person - makes fun of people, steals etc - until he wins $100,000 on the lottery and while goin to collect his winning, gets hit by a car, looses his winning ticket and ends up in hospital. While in hospital he has a revelation and decides to make a "karma list" - a list of everything he has done wrong and all of the people that he has wronged and decides to set about making up to these people and crossing them off his list. He crosses his first bad deed off the list during the episode and finds his winning lottery ticket again. Seeing this as a mesage from karma he decided to spend his winnings on crossing all the bad deeds off his list, with the help of his brother, Randy and often his ex-wife Joy and her new husband Darnell (AKA Crabman).
This is a brilliant series, every episode is hillarious, clever and has a good message about how you should treat others. The characters are all unique and brilliant.
The DVD Box set includes the entire first series, plus deleted scenes and an alternate first episode in which Earl writes a "revenge list" of all the people who have screwed him over.
I would highly recomend this show to anybody.
The first half of the first season is great December 30, 2008
Bill Staley (Santa Monica, CA USA)
I don't watch much TV except sports. But I saw "Earl" at the gym and loved it. The first half of the first season, through "Joy's Wedding," is extra great. Great premise, nice tight stories, developed well with nice twists. Great acting, great characters. Funny but human.
"Cost Dad an Election" and "White Lie Christmas" don't seem as tight, like they spent less time re-writing these. They are funny, but not as. "O Karma" was great when I saw it at the gym. I have not yet watched the other three shows.
My wife and I have enjoyed these shows a lot. My nephew enjoyed the pilot (the only one he's seen).
 Disc one doesn't work December 12, 2008

The product was shipped very quickly (less than a week) but the disc one doesn't work in my dvd player and my computer: the CD is scratched.
No problem with the disc two.
A wonderful comedy November 23, 2008
Vicki L. White (alexandria, va United States)
I didn't start watching this program until the middle of season 2 and was hooked. I ordered seasons 1 through 3 so I could watch all of the shows and love it!
