"My Name is Earl" may be in the middle of running its fourth season on NBC but it may be its last. Nikki Finke of Deadline Hollywood reported that the network is considering to cancel the series to save cost because it has not exactly been stellar in ratings.
The show however, may not be buried after all, because there is a possibility that it will be picked up by FOX. The entertainment president of FOX, Kevin Reilly, allegedly is developing the show to be under the new roof because the network is lacking in its comedy show. Reilly was originally in NBC before moving to FOX.
There has been no statement released from both NBC and FOX regarding this. "My Name is Earl" which is about the titular character making amends to hinder karma, is taking a break in its fourth season to be back on April 16.

NBC Is so gay they can't keep a single show they make. The station is a joke. F*** NBC. My name is earl is the best show u have. Does NBC stand for nothing but crap??
NBC is so gay. U guys suck u can't keep one show. U cut ever show u make. F**k NBC. Does ur name stand for nothing but crap? My name is earl was the best show u had : (
I hope Fox picks up Earl.It was very funny show. It seems were are losing more comedy shows, and too many reality shows. We need more comedy shows. I loved Yes Dear, and a lot of the ninety comedy sit - coms. The way the world is now we need something that will make us laugh, and forget about our problems for at least a short time.
f*** NBC!! my name is earl was the best show ever and they canceled it at a terrible time it shouldn't f***ing end with TO BE CONTINUED i live in Canada but if it isn't continued i am going to punch everyone that is slightly in charge of NBC from the president of NBC to the f***ing janitor!!!! thanks for listing and i hope you agree and possibly help me beat up NBC it will go faster that way.
My Name is Earl was the best thing on NBC. Now it really sucks. I have not watched NBC since they cancelled the show. Everything now on their Thrusday night all has the same type of humor and it gets boring quick. My Name is Earl was refreshing and so fun to watch. I never laughed so hard watching a show on T.V. I really hope that someone picks up the show. I hate NBC now. Why would you cancel the best thing you had on your network. You are a bunch of dumbasses.
Greg Garcia you're a coward & a disgrace! Shame on you boy! Stealing other writer’s creations! You're a leech! You're so un-original! You still can’t come up with a REAL NEW story idea; this is why you're taking MNIE & YES DEAR to make your next TV show - Keep Hope Alive (YES DEAR - SO BORING LIKE YOU). You must kiss some serious ass to get people to still want to work with you! You THIEF! Count you're lucky stars FOR NOW!
My name is Earl is my favorite tv show. Please don't cancel this show!
I just learned "Earl" was canceled--WTF? This truly was one of the funniest shows in recent TV scheduling....a true laugh-out-loud show, with absurdity, strong characters, and a real sense of heart. The "Andy Griffith Show" may be the last successful blend of these elements. If I see another show about doctors, nurses, cops, or lawyers, I think I will scream!
20th Century Fox! You go right ahead and stand behind a guy who clearly ripped off Mark Gable. Remember to set a great example for your children. Keep teaching your children well. Remember before you tuck them in at night. Remind them. Well little Timmy and little Sarah. It’s always better to steal from others. This will always keep your belly’s full. Who cares if you have to sell your soul to the devil. At least where full of ourselves!!! And Garcia still has the audacity to incorporate My Name Is Earl with Yes Dear to come up with his new pilot. Keep Hope Alive. What a poor excuse of a writer who claims he’s comes up with original ideas! He’s still leeching off My Name Is Earl’s concept stolen from Mark Gable to come up with his so called new TV show! Not to mention he has to use Yes Dears formula (which is so boring) as well to come up with something new! You can clearly see why Garcia has to rip of other writers. By the way Garcia makes sure you tell your kids as well how to be good little thieves! And sell their soul to the devil! By the way Garcia makes sure you tell your kids as well how to be good little thieves! And sell their souls to the devil! Hey there’s a new idea for a show right there you thief! You should be able to finally write something that you know oh so well!
tvovermind new pilot, Keep Hope Alive. It’s kind of in the world that ‘Earl’ inhabited,” Garcia said. “The same type of people. And with ‘Yes, Dear,’ I enjoyed writing about families and raising children. So I came up with this idea, which in a way combines those two things. » - AstroJones Ya What a poor excuse of a writer who claims he’s comes up with original ideas!

Ask GARCIA THE THIEF! How he really came up with My Name Is Earl?! Ask him where's his copyright for My Name Is Earl? The one that he sent to the U.S. copyright office himself personally in his own name? He’ll tell you he doesn’t have a copyright for his so called original creation! Cause he never came up with the hit T.V. show in the first place! But ask him Hollywood, if you believe you're not as corrupt as the world claims you are? Now Garcia has the audacity to say in an article from
WHAT YOU (DON'T) KNOW ABOUT THE CREATOR OF MY NAME IS EARL Posted Jan 23rd 2006 4:03PM by Adam Finley Filed under: Other Comedy Shows, NBC, Talent, My Name Is Earl Anyone with an eye for detail knows that the Internet Movie Database isn't always accurate in its bio or trivia sections. This isn't so much the fault of the site as it the fault of people who submit information, but in the case of My Name is Earl creator Gregory Thomas Garcia, he has only himself to blame. It seems that Garcia actually submitted some information about himself for his IMDb page which stated he was the grandson of Cantinflas, a Mexican comedian who passed away over ten years ago. The thing is, it's not true. Garcia was just having a bit of fun, but that little tidbit has made it's way into a few news stories about him. I've always found the truth to be overrated, anyway.
GREG GARCIA ADMITS Greg Garcia: Yeah. I go on to TelevisionWithoutPity. We’ve done some stuff where we’ve like planted fake people on TelevisonWithoutPity and then have them be characters on our show and blow everybody’s mind on the blog. But I go on there because it’s like instant feedback. It’s hard not to. – I can’t remember the exact specific, but I do remember one time reading something on there and thinking, “Oh, man. That’s a good idea.” And then, like in the room I was really hesitant to do it, because I was like - I felt like I was cheating. Like it was this small little thing, but it was just some small little thing someone mentioned. I felt like I was cheating and then I was like, screw it. It’s not cheating. It’s funny. So I think we ended up doing it, but I don’t remember the specifics.
I,have never seen anyone cut there throat's as bad as N B C, we watched there programs,every night,and one by one they canceled everything we watched.We have now moved our attention to A B C which seems to have picked up N B C's dropped ball and is running with it so in a way i have to thank you for canceling EARL, and sending us to another place for entertainment your programing has gone so far down hill,it will be a long,long time to come back to even fifth place. Whoever is in charge of programing is a real asset to CBS ,ABC and FOX.
nbc whats the deal you hate shows that make you money i have every season on dvd seen them 50 times and every time i watch it its like the fisrt time.fisrt sucrbs now earl.no reason to wacth nbc any more.no really thats it dumbasses

save earl one of the best comidies on telivson.. some one needs to pick it up along with life nbc is losing too great shows
hope if Fox can pick it , nbc ur gay
Earl might not be a top scorer in the ratings game but it's one of my favorite shows. Jamie Lee Presley and the rest of the cast are all a hoot. I am truly disappointed to read about Earl's cancellation. It's just another move that'll make NBC a slow performer in the ratings game!
I just heard the cable company that was supposed to pick up My Name is Earl is not...I hate how NBC canceled this show.
Please let Fox pick this up, they know comedy gold when they see it... 'Oh, chisquita!'
There are very few shows on TV anymore than can literally make me laugh out loud, and this is one of them. I can't imagine what could have been going through their heads when they decided to cancel it.
Don't Cancel this show! I love My Name is Earl--it's one of like three shows on your network that are worth watching!!! What are you thinking?!
C'mmon u Can't,u Simply Can Cancel
Best comedy on TV. Hands down. It would be a huge mistake to cancel such a well written, well acted show. I wish the networks would figure out noone is watching reality tv, or all the cop and law dramas. Earl is a truly hilarious show and one of the only reasons I've found to watch tv...and sit through the commercials! NBC or Fox, I hope you are hearing your viewers.
No please do not cancel Earl! It is at the top of the comedy list and all of reality crap SUCKS A BIG ONE! "MY NAME IS EARL" IS THE BEST SHOW GOING, IF YOU CANCEL IT YOU ARE NUTS!
DONT! get rid of earl i love this show i look farward to it while im in skool i have seen every ep.
No, you got to be kidding me.Cancelling "My Name Is Earl" is a huge(HUGE!) mistake plus, i want to see who is Earl Jr. father.
Always seemed to be on at 8pm for me.
Save Earl!!! It is by far the best show on TV in this decade. The second best show in the last half century (Dukes of Hazzard was the first!) It's always the good shows that get get canceled, Earl, King of the Hill, Dukes, ect. They always keep crappy shows like, Parks & Rec., and for King of the Hill, whose being replaced by the Cleveland Show, which has been renewed fora second season, and the first season hasn't even premiered! So keep good shows on TV. SAVE EARL!

If anything, NBC should cancel Kath + Kim or Parks and Recreation. Those shows suck. Like Phil said, "no sense in keeping a well written, acted and produced show like "Earl" when we can get even more crappy reality shows!"
It is probably the only TV show that I have liked in a long time.
Don't Cancel My Name is Earl ....NBC will never find a better show
Heck, the writers can get even more wild if it goes to Fox! Don't throw us in the briar patch!!!
omg.... they cancelled "My Name Is Earl". It was so funny and nice........ shit what the f@#! were they thinking
I only watch one current show and that is "My Name Is Earl". It is the only show I have seen in a long time that consistently makes me laugh out loud. It is the only show I go out of my way to watch. The rest of the time I just watch classic tv shows on DVD and occasionly Nova on PBS. NBC kept changing the time slot until they finally pissed me off. I'd get in the habit of going to watch the show at a particular time, and then they would change the time slot. A few weeks later they would do it again. What the hell is wrong with them? Now I watch My Name is Earl over the Internet, because I don't have to figure out what time slot those knuckleheads at NBC have moved it to this week. Dear FOX. Please save "My Name Is Earl". Once you find a time slot for it keep it there.
NOOOOOO!!!! they can't cancel My Name is Earl, it's the best show i have to watch, Fox better pick that show up, but then again Fox have canceled many of my favorite shows before
I hope Fox comes to the rescue. My favorite was the cops episode. Earl is worth saving.
Great show. So funny! I hope it gets picked up. It seems like all that is going to be left on network television is lame game and reality shows.
First they cancel the black donnellys, now this! WTF
maybe My Name Is Earl got cancelled because NBC & 20TH Century Fox know now after all the evidence that was provided by Mark Gable’s world renown lawyers, that garcia really did rip off Mark Gable's script Karma. And NBC & 20TH Century Fox are embarrassed to be associated with garcia. cause greg is full of bleep. ask greg to explain Karma by Mark Gable. Mark Gable wrote My name is Earl, read the lawsuit. what kind of man accepts an award for work he didn’t create? pats on the back, limo’s, champagne, hamptons mansions, red carpet events and lunch at the ivy mean everything to hacks like greg garcia. it’s really tragic when the only way a man can get a hit and win an award is by pretending someone else’s work is their own. writer? Toni morrison is a writer. greg garcia is a hack and he should step up and return Mark Gable’s work.
Who wrote this article, a 3rd grader? Nice grammar.
Recently, the Denver Post ran an article about how TV in general is in trouble with ratings. What a surprise - the networks keep moving shows to new slots all the time, they have humongous gaps between the air dates of original episodes, and they keep canceling truly interesting and creative shows. No wonder ratings aren't what the networks want, or so they claim. In their places, we get shows that are cheap to produce and reality shows - which are often the same thing. Other than "American Idol" I don't know *anybody* who watches *any* reality TV shows - I can't imagine how some of them have such good ratings. In fact, I think ratings are BS, with numbers that are deliberately false simply to give the networks a basis to keep trotting out a steady stream of cheap, easy to make GARBAGE..."My Name Is Earl" might just suffer the fate of so many *really* good TV shows recently, so we can get another cheap, non-scripted piece of depraved trash - and that is too bad....one more thing - who in the name of God gets the boxes to record the Nielsen numbers??? Give one to me and I'll show them what is good TV and what should be flushed down the nearest toilet. Thank You.
My name Is Earl is way better then some of the other shows on NBC like Kath and Kim and 30 Rock. It will be a the biggest mistake NBC would ever do if they cancel it. I love that show.
PLEASE DON'T CANCEL THIS SHOW!! IT IS ONE OF THE BEST ON TV. LOVED EVERY EPISODE THIS SEASON BESIDES THAT TORNADO ONE. THEY JUST NEED SOME NEW AND DIFFERENT STORY LINES. MAYBE AN EDGIER WRITING STAFF.
Maybe they could save some money on it by replacing the awesome music score, like they do on the DVD release? Freakin' morons.
I know season three sucked, but other seasons (including fourth) are awesome.
My Name Is Earl is awesome, Joy is the funniest TV character that I've ever seen, and you want to cancel it, I agree with the previous comment saying " damn reality TV to hell " we don't have any shows worth watching anymore, Earl is seriously the last show that I watch, I just recently started watching it, because I'm afraid to get attached to any shows these days, because most original shows get the axe after a few seasons, big surprise that this one got canceled, it was funny, that's a networks worst nightmare, all we have is reality tv, because it is cheap, I hate reality tv, please Fox, pick this show up, it would be the best move you've ever made, especially considering the fact that Fox hasn't had a hit live action sitcom in years, I'm begging you Fox, pick up My Name Is Earl
i really hope the show goes on for at least 2 more seasons. damn reality shows to hell.
Sure, no sense in keeping a well written, acted and produced show like "Earl" when we can get even more crappy reality shows!
