Amazon.co.uk Review
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 scratch card--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

Synopsis
The enormously popular sitcom MY NAME IS EARL stars Jason Lee (MALLRATS) as reformed criminal Earl, who sees the light when he loses a winning lottery ticket worth $100,000 after getting hit by a car. While in hospital, Earl ponders his life and decides his bad luck can be chalked up to bad karma, and sets about making amends with everyone he has ever wronged. Having written a very long list, Earl starts with number 64 and visits Kenny James--a former victim of Earl's schoolyard bullying--whom he helps to come out of the closet. A visit is also paid to a one-legged girl from whom Earl once stole a car. Each episode features Earl attempting to right a wrong from his past. The unique comedy style of MY NAME IS EARL has earned it both cult affection and mainstream success. Ethan Supplee (ART SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL) plays Earl's slow but good-hearted brother and sidekick Randy, Nadine Velazquez plays Randy's motel maid Catalina, and Jaime Pressly (NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE) plays Earl's ex-wife, Joy. Guest stars on the show include Beau Bridges as Earl's father, as well as Giovanni Ribisi. Features every episode from the first series of the show.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hickey Redemption, 27 April 2006
By Tim Bentley (Shetland, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
What happens when you write down everything bad you've ever done and then work your way through the list putting each one right? Well that's Earl's way of staving off Karma getting even with him in this hysterically funny show. Earl Hickey is or rather was a bad guy. What he could steal, he did. Whoever he could defraud, he did. But when he won $100,000 in the lottery and got mown down by a car he twigged that there was such a thing as Karma, cause and effect, so Earl made his list and set out to put his various misdemeanours right. Earl is accompanied along the way by his 'slow' brother Randy, sometimes hindering, sometimes helping, but always there.

"My Name is Earl" is amongst the best US imports for many years now after suffering seasons of homogenised humour repeated ad nauseum on E4 and Paramount. The humour is sometimes a little dark, but as yet I've not witnessed any extremes of language or anything particularly offensive - hey they can be funny without upsetting anyone! A quality show with some gut busting belly laughs. Pay specific attention to what Randy says in his "Forrest Gump" style, and don't forget to say "Hi Crabman" every time you see Darnell come into shot.

When this show hits the shelves in DVD form it is going to be a sell through hit. Hint to anyone who knows me: this would make a fine present :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars American Comedy At Its Best, 2 Jul 2006
By C. Traves "boomboomhuckjam" (Redditch) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My Name Is Earl.. What a TV show. Its absolutely brilliant.
If you havent seen it before, then heres the lowdown.

It is about a guy named Earl who has been a criminal his entire life. However, Earl has a miracle, he wins $100,000 on a scratchcard. However, after revealing the lucky symbols, he goes out, gets hit by a car and loses the ticket.

It then hits him- Karma. He then realises to have a better life he must have better ways. So, whilst in hospital recovering, he writes a list of everything bad he has ever done, and puts right what he did wrong.

After doing a few good deeds, he finds the ticket.

This comedy is brilliant and is well worth watching, and for 22 half an hour long episodes, this product is well worth getting!
