My Name Is Earl: Love Octagon

Posted by Ryan Earl is out of his coma, and he’s eager to find Billie (Alyssa Milano), because karma says they should be together. Thinking the best way to track down Billie is to find her ex-boyfriend Frank (Michael Rapaport), Earl and Rany go to the halfway house where Frank and his buddy Paco currently live. Frank has to wear a shock collar that goes off when he strays too far from the house. But Paco has his collar removed when he goes to his delivery job at Camden Foreign Foods as Senor Lo Mein (one of Earl’s former jobs). […]

My Name Is Earl: Killerball

Posted by Ryan Yeah, I’m a few days late with the Earl recap. Better late than never, I suppose. But given the quality of this episode, I’m not so sure. Regrettably, The Hickeys still isn’t canceled. Earl’s now dreaming that he and Billie are old and tired … much like this storyline. The hospital wants Earl off their hands. So they offer Randy either long-term care for Earl at a county medical facility or a one-time payment of $2,000 in Camden Cash good at four area businesses (one of which is paintball!) if he just takes care of Earl himself. […]

Long Overdue Erin Andrews Post. Also, Spelling Bee News.

Posted by Cubicle QB I’ve long resisted doing another Erin Andrews related post just to boost traffic and perpetuate an already very exhausted Interweb phenomenon (look guys, bare calves!). But today there is actual relevant Erin Andrews news involving the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Via Deadspin and The Futon Critic comes the news that Andrews will be joining ESPN and ABC’s coverage of the bee as a correspondent. Dancing With the Stars host Tom Bergeron is also added as a host. Out are last year’s hosts Mike & Mike and reporter Stu Scott — we will miss ripping on them.

E:60 Ambushes Miguel Tejada

Posted by Cubicle QB ESPN’s E:60 made the news this week after correspondent Tom Farrey confronted the Houston Astros’ Miguel Tejada with a birth certificate revealing that Tejada is actually two years older than what the MLB media guides indicate his age to be. Tejada admitted his true age after the interview was leaked. So is this legitimate journalism or a really bad “gotcha” exposé to generate hype and drive ratings? Maybe a little of both. Farrey did confront Tejada with a clear inconsistency, but is it even important? The fact that some players from the Caribbean have lied about […]

We Fire Away With Jonas Armstrong Of “Robin Hood”

When BBC America premieres Season 2 of the hit adventure series Robin Hood, viewers will see a more mature, wiser Robin. They’ll also see a more mature, wiser actor playing him. Jonas Armstrong learned the hard way just how physically and mentally taxing a six-month shoot in Hungary was during filming of Season 1. “I was totally exhausted halfway through the season last year after three months. They gave me four days off in the middle of it because I was just exhausted,” Armstrong says. “I was a nervous wreck as well for a lot of Series 1 because it […]

Randy is doing items off of Earl’s list, and he picks Ruined Dad’s Vacation. Earl’s parents have been out of it for a while — they don’t know Earl’s been in a coma, and they don’t even know that Earl was in jail.
