Never watched it, but I guess every show ends or gets canceled sooner or later.

Re: My Name is Earl might be jumping to Fox

It's Scrubs all over again. How many years were the Scrubs to ABC rumors around? FOX will find a way to get Earl to 100 episodes. If that means taking the show over itself, that's probably what will happen.

All a show needs to get to syndication is 65 episodes IIRC. Earl would have already passed that earlier this year (shortened S3).

I gave up on this show halfway through S3. It's just terrible. I can only watch so much white trash and COPS currently takes up most of that quotient.

They still have slots for 4 sitcoms on Thursday unless they want to make the mistake of undoing that tradition for the second time. The Office, 30 Rock, and the Poehler vehicle make 3

Isn't it already syndicated? On TBS the one day a week that a show created by Tyler Perry isn't on?

I still really love this show. I have to agree that going to Fox won't bode well. Fox used to let shows develop over time, but now if it doesn't earn $ right away, it gets the axe.

I like this show. I think the writing is still smart - and it is good for a few smiles a week.

I would watch it on what ever channel it is on.
