Last night I downloaded the first two episodes of this show and the last time I laughed so hard was when I watched Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, a movie from 2002 which happens to include Jason Lee who plays two characters resurrected from past Kevin Smith movies, Mallrats and Chasing Amy.
Who else thinks this is the best thing to happen to television since Seinfeld got really good?
If you're familiar with Jason Lee and Mallrats, you can see some of his character Brodie in Earl. The only thing that disturbed me was when I saw Jason Lee on Carson Daly's show and he said some disparaging remarks about movies he's been associated with, which makes me wonder if he's had a major falling out with Smith. I need to go to Smith's website and see if there's something going on.
ANYWAY, anyone else hip to this new show?
Edited to add: I forgot to mention, Earl's brother Randy is played by Ethan Suplee, who was also in Mallrats as Willem, the guy who couldn't see the sailboat. I'm not explaining any more than that; you either know what I'm talking about or you don't. I wonder if Lee had something to do with casting Suplee, since they worked (however briefly) together before.
