Most shows are way too cookie-cutter, have their little storyline, neat ending, then the credits. Not Earl. Usually they end with Earl and his brother talking about something, yesterday's ended with this little nugget of joy.

There should be a law requiring all houses to have strobe lights.

Damn I missed Earl the other day. At first I wasn't too sure but now it's one of my fav. sitcoms.

Never seen Scrubs, I watch House almost religiously. What annoys me is how Fox started all of the seasons to all the really good shows (Family Guy, American Dad, House, etc.), then after two or three episodes simply went on a month long break. Thank goodness for other quality shows to fill in the gaps :)

This is nothing new, they've been doing it the last couple of years when Baseball playoffs come around. I don't like any of the shows (don't even know which channel they're on other then House on Fox) so it doesn't bother me, Sports > Sitcoms regardless.

It's too bad I don't consider baseball much of a sport :p...when players are as overpaid as today's are, and do so little work, it doesn't become much of a sport. Thank God this year it's been dominated by rookies, makes it a bit more interesting at least.

They're showing scrubs on Comedy Central now, and I agree that it is truly a very funny show. Stars Zach Braff and a few other recognizeables whose names I can't recall.

Yup, I know what you mean, the new guys carried my Phillies this year so it was fun to watch even though not making the playoff's was pretty much a given.

The Office (right after Earl) had a strobe light in it a couple of weeks ago, however they ended with a scene containing a black light - and considering things I'd have to say that ending scene wins hands down.

party supply store would be a good place to look

My name is Earl rocks. Best comedy on tv. Anyone seen the special on the DVD where Earl does bad instead of good? funny as hell!
