My Name is Earl

Started watching My Name is Earl from the start and i'm loving it. Its style of comedy is unique and gives the show a really strong identity. The concept is the real strength though. That list is the ultimate tool for show longevity. Anything could be on it and it can be any length. If the show starts to get stale they can just put something on the list that totally changes it. It makes every episode really unpredictable too because as i said anything can be on that list.

One thing that really annoys me though, and this is true of everything in life, once you get attached to something you always find a downside, you'll find something that just sours the experience. Well I'm watching My Name is Earl and i'm enjoying it, right? I'm watching Jason Lee and thinking ive seen him in stuff before, i should have a quick swatch on wikipedia. And so I go on, have a little read of what he's been in, and just for kicks have a look at the personal section. Nothing destroys my respect for an actor quicker than finding out that they are in fact a member of the "church of scientology". Yes I know people should not be judged for their beliefs and everyone should be allowed to believe in whatever they want. I'm trying to ignore it but I just...cant.
