DVD Reviews of My Name is Earl - Season Three
DVD Review: HEY, EARL!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've said it before and I'll say it again, one of the beauties of DVD is the low costs of picking up entire seasons of TV series you may have missed. Be it work related, child related or simply not having time related, it's nice to be able to get a whole season and watch episodes back to back. Like this week's release, MY NAME IS EARL SEASON THREE.
For those of you who have yet to watch EARL, Jason Lee (star of numerous Kevin Smith movies) stars as Earl Hickey, a bumbling goofball whose life has consisted mostly of low end scams, thefts and mischief in general. Earl's life changes when he scratches off a winning lottery ticket...only to watch it fly away after being hit by a car.
While recuperating, Earl has an epiphany. Karma had worked its magic on him, causing him to lose the ticket in return for all of the bad things he's done in his life. While lying there, Earl writes up a list of all the people he has done wrong with the intention of correcting his mistakes. As he sets out to do so, the ticket finds its way back to him.
Each episode of EARL features Earl and his bumbling idiot-though-lovable brother Randy (Ethan Suplee) trying to track down one of the people on his list and making up for whatever Earl did to them in the past. Season three starts off with Early not being able to do so since he made a big correction at the end of season two.
Earl took the rap for his ex-wife Joy (Jaimee Pressley) and is now in prison. Fortunately for Earl, a number of the people he made mistakes with can be found there as well. And in helping them, he finds himself owing favors to others in prison, including the warden (Craig T. Nelson).
As Earl tries to do right, Joy feels guilty so takes Earl's brother in with her. Talk about a conflict of interests. Joy is self centered, cheated on Earl with crab cook Darnell "Crabman" Turner (Eddie Steeples) to whom she is now married and is the biggest stereotype of trailer trash foul mouthed gorgeous redneck that you will find on film. Randy on the other hand is about as simple minded as you can get without having brain damage. The two together are like oil and water.
The first half of the season is spent in prison with Randy dealing with the loss of his brother that evolves into Randy becoming a guard at the prison (after scoring a 55 on the tests, the highest score ever). Joy deals with being the surrogate mother to her half sister's baby, requiring her not to have labor induced or have any pain meds during birth. And Earl? Earl does his best to pay back Karma.
Want an example of the comedy involved here? It's difficult to choose from one of the many scenes that are side splittingly funny. But how about the one where Randy at the Fourth of July fair finds his head covered in cotton candy. It appears that he got so involved watching the guy make it that he got dizzy and fell into the cotton candy machine resulting in his head being covered in enough cotton candy that he can't see. Okay I know, it loses something in the translation but trust me, it is funny as all get out when you see it.
The guests in episodes help make this show one of the funniest on TV. But it is the core players who make it worth watching week after week...or in this case disc after disc. Jason Lee is a treasure, performing as the smart alek with attitude who isn't near as smart as he thinks he is. But in the end, Earl always sees the bright side of things and offers a touch of wisdom that makes the episode a morality fable.
Pressley as Joy is hilarious. Her mouthy attitude, strong willed character and ability to see that the world actually DOES revolve around her (at least in this trailer park) are a joy to behold. And Suplee as Randy does an incredible feat in making a bumbler not only appealing as a sympathetic character, he makes it easy to laugh when he messes up as well.
The rest of the casts are just as acceptable but it is these three that stand out. Season three made me laugh out loud more than once and on more than one occasion, I found myself having to pause the disc because I was laughing so hard. If you are in need of a laugh, you can't do much better than this show. This is not just one to watch, it is one to include in your personal collection.
