Season One of My name is earl is brilliant . Season Two is ok but not half as funny . It was an unwise move to stray from the list and def contained episodes ... as season two has gone on it lost something in my opinion . By the end of this season it had completely ram out of steam and ideas . The storyline thread about joy and her court case wasn't funny at the start but they somehow decided to milk it for all it's worth . My Name Is Earl season one is an all time classic but unfortunately Season two fails to deliver the same standard . After watching it I have no motivation to see seasons 3 &4.
