My Name Is Earl: 4.04 ‘Stole an RV’ Recap
October 3, 2008 by Chandra
Original Air Date: October 2, 2008
An interesting factoid we learn about Randy in this episode of My Name Is Earl is that whenever he finds a hat, which happens from time to time, he invariably gets lice and a brand-new personality to go along with it. Hence the amount of time he spends during this installment speaking what he thinks is British English, complete with cultural references and unique vocabulary.
While Randy’s busy with that act, Joy, and eventually Darnell, devotes her efforts to capturing Pigsquatch, a supposedly mythical, giant prehistoric pig that she sees in the flesh one day. …read more
My Name Is Earl: 4.03 ‘Joy in a Bubble’ Recap
October 3, 2008 by Chandra
Original Air Date: October 2, 2008
This episode of My Name Is Earl threw me off at the end, in a very. very good way. Read on to find out why.
One day while Earl is driving Catalina to work, he spies a hot tub along the side of the road that reminds him he owes Joy one. Back in the day, when they were married, she landed a gig as a spokesmodel for a hot tub company but never made it in.
While she was spraying a can of aerosol hairspray on her hair (and most of the rest of …read more
My Name Is Earl: 3.21-3.22 ‘Camdenites’ Recap
May 18, 2008 by Chandra
Original Air Date: May 15, 2008
Watching the one-hour My Name Is Earl season finale made me realize something — the show is very rarely funny anymore. When I do laugh, it’s usually at the ridiculous sight gag-type situations, such as Randy falling over after a driver throws a bagful of garbage at him when he’s doing what Billie wants him to in order to “earn” a Klondike bar. (Get it? The ice cream’s advertising tag line is “What would you do for a Klondike bar?” So, Randy would do just about anything, including humiliate himself, for …read more
My Name Is Earl: 3.20 ‘Girl Earl’ Recap
May 9, 2008 by Chandra
Original Air Date: May 8, 2008
How ironic is it that when Earl gets ecstatic over his alleged soul mate Billie’s decision to start her own Karma list, everyone nearby reacts negatively? Very, and the contradiction — or at least the gunshot — should have warned Earl of the difficulties to come with regards to his new wife.
Once the glow of being newlyweds diminishes, Earl is left with the shocking realization that he and Billie have different opinions on just about everything, from which Van Halen is better (the one with Sammy Hagar or David Lee Roth) to whether …read more

April 29, 2008 by Chandra
Original Air Date: April 24, 2008
The hospital decides to kick out still comatose EARL, and RANDY is offered a choice: put Earl in a state-run home or accept $2000 in Camden cash, redeemable at over six local locations. After he sees the Camden cash can be used for paintball, Randy chooses the second option, of course.
As he reveals to doubtful JOY and DARNELL later, however, his main concern looking after Earl is to get his older brother better so he can start taking care of things on his Karma list himself. In fact, that’s what Randy becomes preoccupied …read more
