My Name Is Earl Creator Greg Garcia to Film New Comedy Pilot for Fox

Greg Garcia's My Name Is Earl is done, but Garcia's already got a new comedy project going at Fox — and it sounds even more twisted than his last. The show combines the spirit of Earl with the family situations Garcia wrote about on Yes, Dear, and the result is, well, unusual: The comedy centers around a 25-year-old who has a one-night stand with a woman who ends up on death row for murder — Read more

TBS in Talks to Pick Up 13 Episodes of Canceled NBC Comedy My Name is Earl

NBC didn't order any more My Name Is Earl last month, but that may not be the end of the show after all: TBS is now in talks to revive the comedy. The negotiations are still in the early stages, and none of the cast members have signed on. But word is TBS would consider picking up the show for 13 more episodes. Presumably it would be a lower-budget version of the show — but Earl's world Read more

TV Tonight: The Office, Earl, and Gladiators Play the Feud

Tonight, NBC is airing the one episode of Celebrity Family Feud that I've truly been waiting for.

The episode will have several rounds, and of them, I'm most excited Read more

TV Tonight: My Name Is Earl

If I'm being honest, My Name Is Earl is probably my least-favorite show in NBC's Thursday night comedy lineup. And yet, its return tonight fills me with an absolute feeling of joy. Why? Because Earl's reappearance after a long, writers' strike-induced hiatus means the rest of NBC's comedies are almost back, too. And the rest of NBC's comedies coming back means the other shows aren't far from Read more
