My Name Is Earl “Pilot”
The podcast with nothing much ado about aircrafts, and potentially everything ado with first episodes of a filmic series. Join us today as we cast judgement and determine if the hit comedy My Name Is Earl will be hoisted, or not hoisted: that is the question!
- Petard = bomb
- Hoist a pilot = bad episode
- Not hoist a pilot = good episode
Show Notes

{4:10} High Points: A lot! Intro; Acting/actors; physical comedy; character development; satire; Crabman; Jamie Presley;
{8:20} Low Points: Objectifying women, long exposition and short conflict resolution.
{13:40} MVPs: The Intro, and not punching down to middle America.
{21:35} Dangling Threads of Interests: Jason Lee; more punching up; values of shows/morals; Carson Daily/karma.
{36:36} Watch or Rewatch: Jimbo– rewatch fo sho! Drew-maybe spot episodes.
