The maid was beautiful, too beautiful to believe that Earl would turn her down because his buddy (who has displayed no further interest in her) called a drunken "dibs".
Did Earl put all $100,000 in his glove compartment? And how long before the car gets set on fire ala "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" and all the money gets burned up?

Thoroughly enjoyed both Earl and Office.
Realistically, though, I have a bad feeling that this "high concept" sort of show is doomed for the long run. I hope that my feeling is incorrect, but we shall see.
The office was wonderful! Between Arrested Developement, the Office, and Earl, it is looking out to be a very funny fall.

Macking the girl your brother is interested in brings bad karma if you ask me.

I'll keep tuning in, but it wasn't as impressive as it was hyped up to be. I don't like the maid's accent. Much too hard. And I'm not sure people are ready for a redneck-ish sitcom not on the wb or upn.

Funny show, though a bit tasteless and insensitive at times.

I thought it would be funnier. Still, I liked the show, specially at the end with all the gay jokes.
I really liked Earl's brother and the dancing gag. He can do that every episode and I will laugh.
I think I'll put a season pass for it in my DVR.

I knew this show would be good. Jason Lee was reason enough to know that.
I was also surprised to see Leo Fitzpatrick- from the now 10 year old controversial film "Kids".

I rewatched this with my wife, and neither one of us was impressed.

I really liked it...when Jason Lee said, something like 'You like men" and started shaking violently, I was on the floor.
