FINALLY! The Earl is back!

I'm Pac Man!

Everyone knows that when you do crazy arms, someone always reaches for the berries.

While there are a few stumbles now and again, when it comes to tableaux and one-liners, MNIE still brings teh funny each and every episode.

The news footage edited to make Randy look even slower than he is was hilarious. "He's special!"

Probally the best episode of the season. Season One was great but before this episode season two has been a so-so season, its still good but 30 Rock has surpassed it in my opinion after not even a whole first season.

I guess I'm in the minority here but I just didn't think it was funny at all. In fact I thought this was the weakest episode of the season. Besides the Pacman sight gag, and a few things Joy said, I just didn't get many laughs out of this one.

I thought the laughs were there, but it was actually the plot that threw me a bit. The episode ended awkwardly if you ask me. I see what they were getting at, but I think they needed to pace it out a bit differently and close the episode out better than they did.

Only episode that I didn't care for out of both season. I didn't laughed at most twice.

I really enjoyed this whole ep. Was laughing out loud several time. So glad to have this show back.

Pretty good actress then. That is her normal voice, the hispanic accent on the show is an act.

Not super funny but it had its moments. I thought the "special" Randy was telegraphed way too easy.

I did like Earl running through the ribbon cutting ceremony in his 70's running attire. That was good for a laugh.
