Saw some episodes of My Name Is Earl during its original run but not many. Life was not conducive to much network tv series viewing back then.

Started it up tonight on Hulu while eating some Vietnamese food. Had some good laugh out loud moments.

Are there any particular episodes I need to be looking for that stand out to you?

For your troubles, I offer a quick quiz.

Joy or Catalina?

My favorite episode is the one (set largely in the past) where they're on COPS stealing things and Randy gets caught on camera.

The question wasn't about Jamie. It was about Joy.

This is one of my favorite shows of all time.

"Hey, it's TV's Tim Stack!"

Norm MacDonald basically doing his Burt Reynolds impersonation as a complete character.

Patty the Daytime Hooker.

The side characters are awesome and they add so much to the crew...Randy, Earl, Joy, Catalina, Crabman.

Dang I need to start a re-watch.

If we are talking actress instead of character, you need to watch the first scene in "Flight".

Yep. Started tonight for me. Just finished Scrubs over the weekend.

If you're enjoying My Name is Earl then you should watch Raising Hope when you get a chance. It was created by the same guy and is just as funny, if not more. I think all the actors from Earl make appearances from time to time during the series.

I agree with the poster who mentions the side characters. The core cast is great but the guest stars and the minor characters are some of the best on any sitcom. I love the Cops episode as well as the Y2K and trailer park manager episode with Roseanne Barr.

And the soundtrack is probably the best of any sitcom that's currently streaming.

Different genera, but I am rewatching Better Call Saul right now. I was a big fan, but I never got around to watching the final season. I forgot a lot of what happened in the first few seasons, so I started from the beginning. I heard the finale was a little unexpected, so don't spoil it.

Norm Macdonald is awesome in that show. Worth it just for that.

Raising Hope is also a show from that time that I thought was underrated.

I need to re-watch both of these along w Scrubs.

Damn you Max Power! :P

Favorite line from MNIE:

<Earl approaches Joy in her car while riding on a bike>

Joy says: "What're you on that thing for, don't you know it'll give you nut cancer?"

My brother says Raising Hope feels like its "in the same universe" as My Name Is Earl...would you agree?

Norm McDonald was awesome in any show. If you haven't seen him in "The Middle," it's well worth your time.

I remember a scene when Earl and Randy found a notebook computer. Randy said, "Look Earl. A porn machine!"

Along with Roger from American Dad, Joy is one of my all-time favorite TV characters.

My name is Earl. My person named me this because he liked the show so much.

Joy and Crabman's wedding reception was straight out of the Tree Hugger family playbook with the Hostess snacks.

Also. Don't get too invested in it.

Karma is going to bite whoever cancelled MNiE in the ass hard.

"The invitation wants to know if we want our chicken grilled or McNuggeted."
