My Name Is Earl

It’s President’s Day, and Randy got his usual card and gift from the great aunt who thinks he’s Abe Lincoln. Randy gets a scratch-off lotto ticket that wins $250,000. Overjoyed, he runs outside and gets hit by a girl on a bike. Sound familiar? Randy’s got his own battle with karma to deal with now, and he’s got the first item on his own list. A while ago, Zeke and his brother Arlo moved into town, and Earl and Zeke became good buddies. They went out a lot and did things and got T-shirts for doing them. But Randy became […]

Darnell, Joy and the kids are under witness protection, and they’ve been given new identities as the Rosensteins. Darnell’s excited, because he already speaks Hebrew. But Joy’s not happy being frumpy Phyllis Rosenstein, maker of clothing for dogs. Meanwhile, Earl and Randy discover that Joy and Darnell’s mail is being forwarded  somewhere. So Earl and Randy pack themselves into a crate and mail themselves. But they end up in a Dumpster full of undeliverable mail, where Earl discovers a letter sent to Joy from the Estrada or Nada show. One of the final Estrada or Nada contestants fell ill from […]

The talent game show Estrada or Nada (featuring Erik Estrada and American Idol castoff cohost Brian Dunkleman) is doing auditions in Camden County, and Earl sees this as an opportunity to cross “ruined Joy’s chance at being on TV” off his list. It was Joy’s childhood dream to be famous, but that dream slowly died as the years went on. And it died for good when Earl used Joy’s Fear Factor audition tape for shooting skeet. So Joy gets on for the audition, performs a contortionist “Crustacean Sensation” crab walk, and gets rejected by the judges. She throws a fit […]

As a kid, Earl had a crush on his babysitter Rachel. But Rachel was with her boyfriend Daniel. Earl didn’t take too kindly to that, so he sabotaged Daniel’s condoms. But as Earl wants to cross the misdeed off his list, he discovers that Rachel (Faith Ford) and Daniel are happily married — but their twentysomething son that Earl had a hand in conceiving is a bit of a freeloading loser. So Earl takes it upon himself to give their son, Ronnie (Adam Rose), a little tough love so he can learn to survive on his own. But Randy starts […]

Earl is helping the Camden County Bookmobile by reading a story to children, and the story sounds a little like something that once happened to Earl and Randy. Years ago, Earl and Randy decided to take their lonely eccentric friend Raynard (Ewen Bremner) out for a night on the town. Pretending to be the opening act for U2 in order to pick up some women, Earl stole the Camden County Bookmobile to use as their tour bus. After a night with the groupies, they abandoned the Bookmobile out in the wilderness. Years later, Earl and Randy returned to where they […]

A tornado is hitting the trailer park in Camden County, and the “Finders Keepers” rule is in effect — you basically get to keep whatever piece of debris you find. (This is how Earl got the blue door on his El Camino.) The storm sets off a chain of events in which a flying Bible, a flying gun that shoots blanks and a flying boat are all taken for spiritual signs. As Earl, Randy, Joy, Crab Man, Patty and Catalina end up taking shelter from the tornado in the cellar of a church, they all start to realize the events […]

Earl is doing some items on his list at the Crab Shack, and one of them is repairing the dent he put in the bar. Which reminded him of how it got there. Back in 2000, Randy ruined the piece of stolen wedding cake that Joy had been saving to eat for good luck on her and Earl’s first anniversary. To make it up to Joy, Randy throws a party for them at the Crab Shack, inviting people from Joy’s address book. But it turns out that Joy’s address book is really a list of guys she’s foned boned. One […]

Earl and Randy have a new neighbor at the motel, a creepy guy named Lloyd (played by Courtney Gains, who was Malachai in Children of the Corn) who makes a ruckus with hammering and welding into the wee hours of the night. Joy recognizes Lloyd as the guy who she and Earl sold a hillbilly tuned-up lemon to. Lloyd wanted to take a cross-country drive, but he didn’t get out of Camden County before the car broke down. The incident scarred Lloyd emotionally, and he lost his faith in human goodness. Earl suspects that Lloyd is building a bomb in […]

Earl is supposed to do No. 94 on his list, “Ruined Dodge and Earl Jr.’s Halloween,” and Joy insists that Earl throw a Halloween party for the boys and everyone in the neighborhood. Catalina’s nephew Osgar (It’s like Oscar but with an “O”) just arrived in a crate from Mexico. Which reminds Earl that he also has to do another item on his list: “Cost Randy a Little Brother.” Earl and Randy decide to go to the charitable organization Big Bros Little Bros to see if they can get a needy kid for Randy to mentor. But the people at […]

Randy’s birthday is coming up, and Earl wants to give Randy a special gift this year. Since Earl gave Randy the short end of the stick all their lives, Earl decides to get Randy a car — his very own Ranchero. But before Earl can give the car, it’s stolen by thievin’ hicks Clyde and Bedbug. There was an unwritten rule in Camden County that crooks can’t steal from other crooks, so Earl decides to invoke the rule and get Randy’s car back. But since Earl isn’t a thief anymore, the rule no longer applies to him. Earl has to […]
