Does anyone watch "My Name is Earl"??
I just saw Jason Lee when I was eating dinner at a Mexican restaurant down the street. His limo driver had to move his limo so I could get out of my parking space.

I have never seen the show but I am assuming the Jason Lee is "Earl"?

2. Yep -- quirky show. Kind of in the style of a Cohen bros. movie.
I like Jason Lee (he was in movies directed by the guy who did "Clerks," like "Chasing Amy" ... maybe he was in Clerks, too ... can't remember). Anyway, someone told me he was a Scientologist, which is bizarre. And, he named his kid "Pilot Inspektor" -- good grief.

16. Come on kids!
Pilot Inspektor is a totally cool name.

Although, elementary school probably won't be a lot of fun......


Khash.

5. He wasn't in Clerks, though he was in Mallrats.
I'm not sure if Kevin Smith used him in any of his other films though.

6. He was in:
Jason Lee was in Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike back, had a cameo in Jersey Girl, and will be in Clerks II. What can I say, I am a big Kevin Smith whore.

9. Kevin Smith is the director, and no, he wasn't in Clerks.

He also co-owns Stereo Skateboards and invented the 360 flip.

23. He was in Vanilla Sky
with Tom Cruise.
Maybe he was 'got at'. Also he was the lead singer in the band in the movie Almost Famous. Both by the same director Cameron Crowe.

Two of my favourite movies by one of my favourite directors.

11. Love it!
The show is perfectly cast, and the writers are right on. It's the only really original show on TV right now, IMO. :)

As for Pilot Inspektor, it's not any weirder than Moon Unit or Motorhead (RIP, Frank Zappa!) :P

19. It's one of my favorite series!
I have three series that I'm devoted to: My Name is Earl, Lost, and the Sopranos. Besides that, I really only watch Countdown with Keith Olbermann and The Daily Show. :)

13. I lurve this show. Brother Randy is my favorite character.
His sympathy for that "monkey" in 'ET' is endearing. :-)

17. I like this show.
It's funny, doesn't have a laugh track(can't stand those)
and I like the whole theme around Karma.

How many comedys are centered around doing the right thing,
doing right by your fellow man? Sorry to get preachy here, but
I really like a show that breaks from the usual plot lines.

The characters are great. I really like Randy ( Earle's brother).

21. I'm just trying to be a better person.....
My Favorite Broadcast Network Show.....

Jaime Pressly does a great job as Joy too

Giovanni Ribisi has a great recurring role

They've also had some outstanding guest appearances from Juliette Lewis, Beau Bridges, Adam Goldberg

AND the exceptionally hot Nadine Velazquez has had two of the funniest lines I've heard:

I want to take this moment to thank our Latino audience for watching. And for those of you who can understand me but who are not Latino, I want to commend you for learning a second language.


Randy Hickey: So Catalina, what are you doing for your mother for mother's day?
Catalina: My mother is dead.
Randy Hickey: Oh I'm sorry.
Catalina: Eh, its okay. It was either her or me...
