"My Name is Earl" is kind of like those traveling nomad helpers, like "Kung Fu", "Quantum Leap" or "Highway to Heaven". The main difference is that instead of travelling from town to town, Earl stays in "Camden County". Earl is also fixing problems that he caused. He is motivated by karma and is thus propelled to undo his past mistakes.
Earl, Randy, Joy, Catalina and Darnell are an excellent comedic group that work well off of each other. In addition, each of the members of Camden County make for a fun cast of characters and a unique setting. The location is both very creative, when at the same time feeling like the kind of backwater town, we are familiar with.
The premise is a bit heartwarming. Earl is perfectly content living in a hotel, going around doing good as his 24/7 gig. The change that the characters go through, trying to be a better person, is motivational.
But on top of everything, the show is very funny and very tightly written. Just about every joke comes back around two or three times to make a solid punchline each time. This show throughout the seasons manages to keep going and mixing up the formula in fresh and clever ways. The show progresses through scenarios where other comedy series would make it their finale.
The show works for both episodic adventures and as a continuous overarching serial. That being said, you can still skip the final episode. Thanks to its episodic nature, it doesn't ruin the show, but it is a disappointing end.
Watch good shows and good times happen to you, that's the way karma works.
