    Seemingly sadistic.

    Vile and mean-spirited.

    Cruel and gratuitious, there is nothing to like about either the show or character. Recommended only for the depressed and self-loathing.

    I've watched 5 episodes, allured by my friend saying that you get into it eventually. I've never even smiled during a single one. This show is garbage. Go back to Mall Rats, Jason Lee.

    A very poor show. Very dated slapstick with nothing of any value in it. It should never have been made as it is an embarrassment to America and humanity!

    My Name Is Earl is not a stupid sitcom - that is what makes its sexist and homophobic jokes so maddening.

    The NBC sitcom is so unpretentious and original, it will probably win you over on its own sweet merits.

    The casting is for awesome, flat-out too-good-for-TV acting.
