Am i the only one who got tire of earl's overly moral ********?

The show was funny but it was filled with him being an inconvenience to everyone around him and too worried about doing the right thing.

There is a difference between being a good person and being constantly fixated on the morality of every situation in life.

Just my opinion.

Did you not see the first episode?
He was a dick to people his whole life and then he won the lottery but immediately got hit by a car and almost died. So he had to undo all the evil **** he did so he could go back to living a normal life.

That was literally the entire asis of the shows plot. Him going from being an asshole to being nice to people. But not so much being too nice just making it up to everyone he wronged.

if you took away his overly moral inconveniencing, you would be taking away the conflict between a lot of the characters and you would also make it a different story. I wouldn't watch "my name is earl the sometimes morally upright individual who sorta kinda has a strong moral code." while I do respect your opinion, ya gotta think about what it would change, mang.

True, i wouldn't change it at all.
He just kind of annoyed me because he wasn't doing good for others.
It was because he was afraid of "Karma" and he felt obligated because of his past.

That kind of person just seems fake to me
Thats just how i feel

Great show, i'm just not the person for the show

Oh Earl was disgustingly fake.

But he did the right things, even if for the wrong reasons.

Rewatching Earl right now. Loved that show. Raising Hope is even funnier, but somehow it feels less pure, like it wants to be Earl but can't. I wonder if Yes, Dear is any good.

It basically is. You know the whole deal about why that show exists right? tldr version... the earl show got kinda murdered without a chance to ever finish it... so it was their way of not completely letting that series go.
I'm still hoping SOMEONE like netflix jumps on the rights and do what they did with arrested development - don't try to change everything, just let them keep doing what they do.

It very much is, that's what I heard at least, since Earl ended on a ******* cliffhanger and the actors are back in different roles and all, I even heard there's one very Earl-like episode later on where all the cast meets up and they make a list of the bad things they've done, so yeah. Also, Earl J. Hickey Nursing Home? Earl confirmed for ******* dead.

I just want some sort of conclusion, Earl had sort of run its course I think, and what I really missed was the humor, the setting, and the writing, and I've essentially got that with Hope. Yes Dear was what Greg Garcia worked on before Earl, I need to look that up and see how it plays out.

yeah, it's always a shame when you invest time into a show and then it just kind of stops without the story ending

but yes,dear is pretty funny. never watched it like a series, but they air the re-runs a lot of tv so i'll catch them occasionally. it's basically a take on the whole Odd Couple scenario, except with two couples. The kinda cliche partying fun but trashy vs. uptight people under the same roof...but, hey it works.

Yeah, or at least a statement from the creators of how that specific thread ended. I would've been happy hearing that he'd never finished the list, and he just kept going and kept adding as he realized that there was more stuff that he'd done.

I never caught on in time, and that's what it seemed like, but the style and humor Greg Garcia seems to bring to the table would make that interesting to me.

I enjoy reading AMAs, honestly, it's so cool to see people interacting with fans. Unfortunately, Greg doesn't seem like he's being very real in this one, at least not to me. The answers are fine, but saying "I love everything about the industry" and similar things like his comment on religion just seem like he's trying hard to stay on the fence and be PC. Odd, considering his shows. Plus it's making me confused as to the difference between single camera and multi camera shows, other than the exact filming format.

The writers strike ruined earl. The frist two seasons were amazing, i liked the prison scenes in season 3 then it went downhill with that actress who played Billie.

They should bring it back though, i miss Randy.

Season 4 was pretty great. Bringing back the glory of the last 2 seasons. But it was too late and now we will never kniw what happened (except we do because greg, but never see it)
