11/09/06 - My Name is Earl - Mailbox
Summary:
Bored with her life, Catalina offers to help Earl take care of number 75 on his list by cleaning out a mailbox that he once used as a trash can. Catalina discovers an undelivered letter stuck at the bottom, and Earl is determined to find its rightful owner. Turns out it's a long lost love letter from trailer park resident Will to his former gym co-worker Wendy. Earl agrees to keep an eye on Wendy while Will gets back into shape for her. Meanwhile, Joy kicks Darnell out after discovering he's in the witness protection program.

This was one of the funniest Earl's this season (and almost matches last year's standard of quality). I love Crabman-centered episodes.

I'd say this show is on a strong two episode winning streak. I can even forgive the slow start since it seems some of the Joy stuff sets up some of the good action we're getting into now.

Didn't Catalina mention something once about taking her mother out? "It was either her or me", or am I mixing up the circumstances of that comment?

Great episode. I liked how Earl tried to be selfish, but got busted by Catalina. That's karma for you.
I was surprised that Joy didn't say "Oh snap" when she read the letter.
Jenny McCarthy was looking damn good, although it wasn't quite as good as the shot of Catalina bending over to look in the mailbox.
I'll bet that Joy will find out who Harry Monroe is when the boys tell her the bedtime story that Crab Man told them.
Loved how Will assumed that Earl and Crab Man were lovers and how Earl had no problem sharing a bed with him.

I second that this was a return to the more LOL shows of last year.

Way too much Catalina in this one. I'd be cool with her just going away for good.

This episode had me . They need more eps like this where everyone's involved.
Especially Catalina.

Enjoyed this episode. I just wish they hadn't wrapped everything up. Both stories could have gone on for another episode. Another episode of Earl/Crabman/Randy would have been great.
As for Catalina, I can take or leave her. When she's not on, I don't miss her, but she does have her moments. IT was nice to see everyone in the action although I prefer more Joy.
