As the economy continues to slump, our daily entertainment takes one hit after another. I was amazed to find out that ‘My Name is Earl‘ was going to be canned. Not only were the characters classically interesting (with good chemistry and unique personality), but this show took great steps for rednecks everywhere. It showed the world that the redneck life can be a great life, riding tornadoes like bulls and getting married multiple times to crazy trailer park women. Sadly NBC has canceled the show, along with ‘Medium’ (thank god), and will be replaced with ‘Chuck‘.
Rumor has it that other networks may be looking to pick up the show, but nothing definite has been released from interested parties Fox and ABC.
The show was on for four seasons, and attracted almost 5 million viewers.
The show was made by a hilarious background story and intro. Earl wins the lotto, but is hit by a car and ends up in the hospital. While watching Carson Daily he is hit with a epiphany that karma has spoken to him. He then continues to find everyone he has wronged in his life, and makes things right with them, crossing them off his long list. After doing his first good deed, he finds the lotto ticket he lost when getting hit by a car, and takes this as a sign that he is on the right path.
Not only that, the show is based in the fictional Camden County, which during the American Civil War it was a place called “Central” which supported neither side and seceded from both the United States and the Confederacy. Darnell, one of the shows main characters, once remarked that the Central lasted as a nation from 3:30pm to 3:45pm on March 10, 1861 before the North and the South massacred the citizens.
It was one of the only shows on TV with a positive outlook, and will be missed by many, especially around here at CricketSoda. America really needs upbeat positive shows like this one to help us live through the rough times.

maaaaaan, i’m surprised this show has been canceled but, honestly, after Earl went to jail it all went down hill.
What do you expect from NBC? After all, those people think that Conan is funny. I’ve already deleted PBS from my TV remote, and NBC is next. You CAN live without bullshit TV networks. I don’t miss PBS at all. NBC can burn in HELL as for as I’m concerned. Those freaking bastards!
