Ravenbomb 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2005 Starts Sept. 20th. I'll definately check out at least the first episode, if for no other reason than because (obviously) of Jason motherfucking Lee. Unfortunately, it starts at the same time as House, but since my dad tapes House every week, I'll watch MNIE, and watch House later. Anywho, anyone else looking forward to this?

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2005 My Name Is Earl probably won't last past November, but since I'm watching The Office at 9:30, I will check it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2005 Looks like a Tuesday, and the FX stuff comes on later, so I'll definatly check it out. Jason Lee on TV sounds like it should work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo Effect 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2005 I already saw and reviewed the pilot, and it's very funny. Not as good as Arrested Development, but then again, AD is one of the best shows ever made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest *KNK* Report post Posted September 21, 2005 So far Im unimpressed by the show. Im waiting for the comedy bone to be tickled but it's not even close yet. Which sucks because I wanted to like this show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest *KNK* Report post Posted September 21, 2005 Lee's performance is everything, and cause I love Lee this show's working with me <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's cute and he's great here but he wasn't given much to work with. He's really going to have to reach for this character to work and make the show work. Hopefully it develops to the potential it could have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2005 Homosexual American... lol. Not laugh out loud funny for me (until the gay exchange with Kenny) but I enjoy Mr. Lee and this has been fine to watch. Looking forward to funnier episodes in the future.

DMann2003 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2005 Hope the show gets a bit smooth with the message making though, that whole "I'm proud I'm gay" scene was awkward and came across flat. But I like the show, hell just in the hope they let Kevin Smith write/direct guest star in an episode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest *KNK* Report post Posted September 21, 2005 Ultimately the time slot hurts Earl for me. House takes precedence and I can't justify flipping back and forth because You'll miss out on House's brilliance by watching Lee carry this... Put this on wednesday night? then you got a viewer in me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gary Floyd 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2005 Pretty funny. Not perfect, but funny. Hope it lasts awile. Also, I've got a crush on Jaimie Pressley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Annabelle 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2005 the show will be great because they'll take the nip/tuck or six feet under route of having different characters each week that lee can pay back. sure some will intertwine like those shows, but it will be nice to see hilarious different ways he screwed people in the past, and how he'll pay them back. i like it.

Guest *KNK* Report post Posted September 21, 2005 I'm not sure this is the type of show that will hook American viewers. I'll venture to assume that it was a curiosity viewing for alot of people intrigued by the hype NBC gave the premeire but It's a show that's likely to grow as it goes and not a show that'll hook a crowd right away...

Guest *KNK* Report post Posted September 21, 2005 If NBC treats this as their version of Arrested Development we'll have it for at least 3 seasons. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Problem is? AD is straight up hilarious. It's unconventionality scares people away. Earl has that unconventionality going for itself as well but as of tonight's showing, not the straight up hilarious aspect.
