From Amazon.co.uk
So strong and simple was the original premise to My Name Is Earl that it’s a surprise to few it’s managed to fuel three straight seasons of the show and counting. Earl, played magnificently by Jason Lee, is on a continuing mission to make things up with every person he’s ever managed to upset or offend, and it’s to the credit of the writers that they continue to mind this in quite such inspired fashion.
Which makes it puzzling as to why the third season of My Name Is Earl takes, for long periods, a different direction. Instead of working on his list of karma, Earl instead finds himself in more traditional sit-com scenarios. It’s a not entirely successful gamble, with particularly the coma segue missing the mark.
That’s not to say, however, that My Name Is Earl doesn’t work, because some of the writing in this third series is as good as anything the show has delivered before, with a plethora of belly-laughs to look forward to. And you can’t help but admire the boldness in some of the thinking here. It may not be the strongest season of the show to date, but it is nonetheless arguably the most interesting. --Jon Foster

I liked both the beginning of the series and the episodes featuring the other cast members while Earl was in a coma, but I have my objections about the Alyssa Milano's role on the series. I think that they shouldn't yse her as much, nor give as much story time as they did in the series. It blew the focus off yhe list, which for me doesn't help the evolution of the series. I think though that the COPS episode was hillarious and great performances were achieved by Graig T. Nelson as Warden Jerry Hazelwood. One of the best plot winners is while the series go back in time to show Earl when he was a small time crook.

One of the best things about the season one and two box set were the commentaries and I was shocked to get this one and learn that there were no cast and crew commentaries, I was gutted. There is a gag reel which is ok, and a really unfunny 'commentary' by Mr Turtle. There is also a documentary about the creation of some of the minor characters in the series, and an interview with the cast which is really interesting.
I think the makers wanted to take the show in a new direction, while Earl in prison is ok, it does go on a bit too long and then Earl in a coma should of been over in a couple of episodes.
They do make up for it in the last four episodes which sees Earl's wife go evil and some of the best performances from Randy. Plus I was so happy to see Kenny finally find true love!
Altogether not the best season yet, but I'm glad they're keeping it fresh and it leads nicely into season 4 with Earl doing what he does best. This is a great feel good show!

Improvement on previous series, first disc is hilarious although you do get some average episodes later on in series.

weakest season
This is the weakest season out of the 4. It's still funny in places but Earl being in prison limits the plots and it's just not as fresh as the other seasons.
