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." http://www.nypost.com/seven/09282006...am_buckman.htm

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".

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.

"Was it Thanksgiving? Because I thought I heard something."
"That's not a c-section scar. That's where my prom date stabbed me."
That NY Post guy is as full of shit as the rest of that rag. Tonight's episode ROCKED, IMHO.

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.

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.

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.

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!"
