I liked Randy's face when Burt Reynolds put the gun up to it.

Joy telling Earl he should have thrown a hat on the ground to get Catalina to dance had me

I thought this episode was much better than the season premiere and not because of the obvious reasons.

Adam Buckman from the New York Post sure hated tonight's episode or as he puts it "My Name is Earl is a series on the way down, if not out. Tonight's repugnant episode - coupled with the premiere of the widely anticipated "Ugly Betty" on ABC at the same time - won't help any."

I'm going to go out on a limb and say, for the most part, Earl and Betty don't share the same audience

I was also thinking about that while watching this episode.
Maybe if they can't use the House of Pain song, they will be able to replace it with Kriss Kross "Jump".

I think maybe you're confusing a line from this week's Nip/Tuck where breasts were compared to chocolate cupcakes and the line from tonight. I'm not 100% on that, though. I don't have either of the shows on my DVR to go back and check.

No, because Chubby then pulled out the vodka pistol when Randy uttered "boobies" in his establishment.

Other than the T&A I thought this was kind of lame from a story point of view. I thought the jumping thing was stupid... almost like the writers were trying to 'clean up' Catalina's backstory. And Burt Reynolds was sort of wasted here, his character should have been even crazier.

No -- the line definitely had "boobies" in it. I'm just not sure about the cupcakes part.

I'm pretty sure he said cupcakes. Earl said before that it smelled like vanilla

That NY Post guy is as full of shit as the rest of that rag. Tonight's episode ROCKED, IMHO.

I agree. Something was off about the whole thing.

Somehow, Burt looked like he was made of plastic. He just had a multiple surgery look to him like Joan Rivers. Maybe it was the makeup?

Not a comedy classic, but I think Randy drifting off many times sums up my thoughts on it.

My opinion of this show hasn't changed from last season. I like watching it, but there is really nothing special about it. How this show has higher ratings than the Office is a complete mystery.

I agree, a whole lot better than the premier. Probably due to less Joy. The scene with Catalina talking to Joy in prison was a fuckin riot. "You don't like me cause I'm hot."

The jumping was kind of odd, especially after last years pool room tease. So Catalina is no longer a maid but a stripper. Biggest character improvement on television. They may be setting this up for her to help Earl when his lotto winnings run dry.

Loved every minute.

No, Burt has looked like that for years. He has had a lot of really bad cosmetic surgery coupled with a bad wig. It's really distracting for me but I still enjoy seeing him.

Really? It's pretty obvious to me. Earl is a better show. Of course that's just my opinion.

I've tried numerous times to watch The Office, but nothing about it appeals to me. How anyone could enjoy that show is a complete mystery.

Reviewed my recording, and Randy said, "It smells like a cupcake with boobies."

Best scene was the Joy and Catalina argument in prison. And not just because Joy ripped open her jumpsuit.

"You couldn't be nice for two minutes? I've seen you act crippled for half a day to skip lines at Six Flags!"

The arguement in prison was hilarious. Way too many great lines.

Oh, and Burt has had that fake look for a long while.
