I love last night’s episode of My Name is Earl. After getting out of prison, Earl was having a hard time adjusting to the outside world. He realized how unfair Karma was to him. He was doing all those good things for people but what did it get him as a reward? … Prison. So Earl ditched the list and got back to his old bad self. Especially when he saw Ralph conning an old lady and gets away with it. The whole gang tried an intervention to no avail. But Karma has a way of finding Earl. In the end he got hit by a car again but this punishment came with a reward. Billy (Alyssa Milano), the girl he liked whom he met in prison, was the one who hit him!

While Earl was passed out Billy stood up to call for help but as she was about to go, she got hit by a car too! It was funny. It would be great if Alyssa will be a new addition to the cast. I haven’t seen her since Charmed. And let’s face it, Earl needs a love interest.

Anyway I love that hippie song in the end, Something in the Air by Thunderclap Newman. Click the play button to listen to the song.

Something in the Air by Thunderclap Newman

Call out the instigators
Because there’s something in the air
We’ve got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution’s here, and you know it’s right
And you know that it’s right

We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Lock up the streets and houses
Because there’s something in the air
We’ve got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution’s here, and you know it’s right
And you know that it’s right

We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Hand out the arms and ammo
We’re going to blast our way through here
We’ve got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution’s here, and you know it’s right
And you know that it’s right

We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Here are the video snippets:

Pushing Daisies season 1 episode 3 : The Fun in Funeral — Hopelessly Devoted performed by Olive Snook.

LMAO My Name is Earl’s recent episode Creative Writing is hilarious. Darnell’s imagination is the best though. I didn’t know he could sing like that. Here you can watch it:

Please Respect The Meat by Darnell Turner

P.S.

I heard that Jamie Presley had some help from Indianapolis cosmetic plastic surgeons or some place else. Just a rumor though.

Earl Hickey, ”Aw, don’t worry about it. I’ve been stabbed by plenty of girls. It only really hurts when you twist it, pull it out and stick it back in.”

My Name Is Earl is funny. From Earl having his eyes closed on every picture he has down to his conversations with his brother Randy before they go to sleep.

Earl had always been involved in a lot of questionable activities since he was a kid. But one day, he won the lottery and just minutes after he did, he got hit by a car and lost the ticket. Since then he vowed to change his ways and repay karma. He wrote a list of all the people he wronged in the past and one by one cross them out of his list by doing a good deed for them. And oh yeah, he got the ticket back.

The last episode of season 2 was Earl going to prison for Joy. His biggest good deed thus far, even when things were finally looking up for him. He passed his GED, he’s got a respectable job and a love life. I can’t wait for season 3. How could he finish his list, now that he’s incarcerated? Let’s find out tomorrow shall we, September 27 at 8/7C on NBC.
