If you don't know what show I'm talking about, let me catch you up.
"My Name Is Earl"(Thursday at 7 on NBC) just had its best episode yet(I feel like I've been saying that a lot lately). But Earl has been consistently getting better this season, I felt it was somewhat hit or miss last year. So far this year all of the episodes have been very good but recently the show really seems to be hitting its stride. In my opinion Earl has just aired its 2 best episodes ever, in back to back weeks. I think that Earl is easily the second best comedy on TV right now.
Last Week's episode was titled "Our 'Cops' Is On" and it was as funny as it sounds. "Cops" the TV show came to Camden county in 2003 and several locals had run-ins with the camera crews and Kathy Kinney(The Drew Carey Show) as a police officer. The episode takes place during an average Sunday afternoon, and even though there is no beer left, the whole neighborhood is hanging out at the bar drinking foam when their "Cops" comes on. This was a great way for us to go back in time and see Earl, Randy and Joy as criminals for most of the episode instead of just short flashbacks. Plus, we got new classic lines like "you had me at balls" and "I skinned my pecker" from a pre-karma Earl. One thing I really liked about this episode is that the stars shared the spotlight a little more than usual and we got to see many of the neighborhood characters featured in the same episode.
Last night's episode "Buried Treasure" is available here and should really be watched before you read any further.
I had not heard much about about the episode beforehand, and I knew nothing about the setup of the episode. I couldn't stop laughing each time one of the main characters took a segment of the show(the intros were perfect and even included a "My Name Is..." title screen). I love how each story filled in little details that were left out of the previous version of the story.
Back to my original question, here is the order for my favorite segments
Joy
Crabman
Randy
Earl
Jaime Pressly should be awarded the Emmy right now. Watching her belt out that rendition of Shania Twain's "Breathe" was amazing, it's classic Joy, only amped up. Crabman's "that bitch is crazy" was a perfect ending to a story that starts with his apology to a gold fish for feeding him pepper. I think that Randy is possibly even dumber than he has appeared before.
Go watch some Earl.
