Todd told me this is an amazing show, though I have never seen it myself.
NBC has pulled the plug on My Name is Earl. The show's sidekick, Ethan Suplee, confirmed the news via Twitter. "Just got the call that My Name Is Earl has been canceled," he wrote. "They sure did take their time with that decision -- or rather informing us of it." An Earl insider says execs at 20th Century (the show's producer) are in discussions with Fox and ABC about picking up the four-year-old comedy.
Now Jason Lee can make more Alvin & The Chipmunks movies.![]()
FOX or ABC might pick Earl up, so it isn't done, yet.
god I hope so, of all the shows cancelled this year, this is the one I might actually lose some sleep over
definitley needs to stick around a bit longer

TBS may give new 'Earl' segs a whirl
There may be life yet left in "My Name Is Earl."
Twentieth Century Fox TV is in talks with cabler TBS about a possible 13-episode pickup. TBS already carries "Earl" reruns.
The talks for new episodes are said to be in the very preliminary stages, and it's far from certain that a deal will be reached, insiders cautioned.
The laffer starring Jason Lee as a reformed petty thief was axed by NBC in May after four seasons on the Peacock. There was some chatter that the Fox network might pick up the project from its sibling studio.
"Earl" could be a fit with TBS' broad slate of original laffers, including "The Bill Engvall Show," "My Boys," "Meet the Browns" and "10 Items or Less."
Reps for 20th and TBS declined comment.
