Dies und das:

Twice when Randy (Ethan Suplee) is woken up he mutters "Poopy trip!". This is a reference to the 'Kevin Smith ' film Mallrats (1995) where Suplee said the same thing when he was brought out a daze.

Pannen:

Filmfehler: In the scenes where pregnant "Joy" is in the shower, the body double is wearing flesh colored panties, just barely visible at the bottom of the screen. This goof is likely not visible on CRT televisions that over-scan.

Dialogzitate:

[repeated line]
Joy: Oh, snap!

FINALLY! Been hungering for something fresh and new like this!

I haven't gotten into anything new as far as a live action series since Seinfeld went off the air. Most comedy series are lame, not funny and predictable with laugh tracks.. Its like, "Oh, I was supposed to laugh at that?". Finally with "Earl" there is something new to get into watching again with an original idea. This show is very funny, has great characters, scenes, directing and doesn't prompt you to laugh with a laugh track. Jason Lee was on Leno a week or so ago pluggin his show and is really funny, and talks much the same as his character. Guess thats how he delves into it so easy. I hope this show sticks around for a while. After years of Reality TV and a bunch of played out stupid comedy series this is a welcome treat!
