My Name Is Earl

Earl discovers that Randy always wanted to be a cheerleader, but since Earl used to torment male cheerleaders, Randy never pursued his dream. So now Earl has to cross Randy off his list by enrolling himself and Randy in the Kimmi Himler Cheer Academy. (As a cheerleader in college, Kimmi [Jenna Elfman] had her face disfigured when the live badger mascot they were renting ran amok in the gym.) But the Camden cheer team — which also includes Preggers, Headgear, Chunk and Black Girl — doesn’t get any respect from the other squads or Kimmi. Randy and Earl rally the […]

Ten years ago, Sweet Johnny (David Arquette) was a daredevil stuntman known for wacky and outrageous stunts. Sweet Johnny’s woman, Sheila, had a very sweet behind that Earl could not resist. So while Sweet Johnny was rehabbing his injuries from his latest failed stunt, Earl took advantage of it to get busy with Sheila in Sweet Johnny’s van. So to keep getting with Sheila, Earl suggested even more wild and dangerous stunts for Johnny. Now Earl needs to cross Sweet Johnny off his list, so he goes to confess. But a brain injury Sweet Johnny suffered while putting on his […]

Joy In A Bubble Earl spots a hottub lying on the side of the road. Remembering that “Cost Joy a hottub” was on his list, Earl gets Homeless Joe to part with the hottub he was living under. Joy loves the hottub, but it’s not the only thing that she got from Homeless Joe — she acquires a very strange flesh-eating staph infection on her big toe. Darnell is afraid of catching Joy’s infection, so he constructs a plastic quarantine zone for her in the house. Furious at Earl, Joy makes him complete a list of things she had to […]

Posted by Ryan The Magic Hour Ten years ago, Earl stole a pony from the Make-A-Wish foundation. A dying child, Buddy, was supposed to ride that pony in the New Year’s Day parade. Earl decides to make it up to the dead boy’s mother (played by Mindy Sterling, in a brilliant casting move). But when Earl and Randy show up at Buddy’s mom’s house, they find that Buddy (Seth Green) is still alive — the doctors in Camden County are not the best. Buddy is a huge film buff and always dreamed of making a movie, so he decides to […]

What you are about to read may shock you. It’s a recap of an hourlong Earl episode that actually didn’t suck. After a season that nearly ran the series into ground, the finale episode seems to herald the September return of the Earl we’ve known and loved for the first two seasons. Earl’s marriage to Billie is already rocky. She’s incredibly annoying, she has severe road rage, she sings badly in the shower … but she has all the money. After Earl blew his savings on the prison prom, Billie is now supporting Earl. And she’s incredibly cheap, especially when […]

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). […]

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. […]

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. A few years ago, Earl’s parents were taking a vacation to American Samoa. Reluctantly, they left Randy and Earl in charge of the house. With the liquor cabinet empty and now just merely a cabinet, Earl, Joy and Randy have to make a beer run. In the liquor store parking lot, a shady guy stashes a duffel […]
