The plan to reincarnate "My Name Is Earl" has been terminated after TBS has canceled its plan to pick up the series left by NBC. "TBS was in the very early stages of discussions with Fox about 'My Name is Earl,' and we are disappointed that we were not able to reach an agreement," the cable channel said in a statement.
Creators were in "preliminary conversations" earlier this week to have the comedy series airing on TBS after they failed to pitch it to other networks such as FOX and ABC. Re-run episodes have been streaming on TBS but the numbers could not meet the financial demand to produce new episodes.
"My Name Is Earl" which is a single camera comedy starring Jason Lee as Earl J. Hickey, thus officially ends on season 4. One possible reason for not ordering fifth season is because the license fees are about to be increased, meaning costs like cast salaries are going up.
"While we had hoped to find a way to produce additional episodes for TBS, in the final analysis we simply could not make the economics work without seriously undermining the artistic integrity of the series," 20th Century Fox Television which is producing the series said. "As none of us, Greg (Garcia) included, want the show to go out on anything but a high note, we regret that we must put to rest any speculation that 'Earl' will continue."
However, TBS and Fox have reached a separate deal to have the past episodes repeated for upcoming Fall season. On the last note, Fox said it was "grateful to everyone at TBS for their enthusiasm for the series."

I'm really sad about reading this... I love this show and now, even it looked like its going to continue, they stop it... I dont understand, why they have to stop it... The show was great, funny, lovely and the best i've ever seen... There must be a homophobe, racism, old woman that didnt like the show... Thats my only possible thought, why the show doesnt continue... sry for my english, i#m from germany =)

Sure! TBS and FOX has plenty of money to bring a butt load of new crappy shows but not enough money to bring one amazing show back? WTF! whats wrong with the damn people that make these decisions? Seriously? Reality shows can not have higher ratings than a well written show!? You cant do this to Crab Man?!?!?
Argh... I want Earl!!!
FRANCE wants Earl Back !
Lithuania wants Earl Back!!! He's my heroe. Fuck you Fox fuck you all if you won't show earl no more

Pleeaaase... we need Earls !!! Its the best show ever !!!
Give us back EARL! That was THE best show ever. WE WANT EARL DAMN YOU, EEAARRLL!! At least tell us who the dad of Earl Jr. is!
boycott!! until there´s season 5 boycott!!
Put the dam show back in air
Dam it make a new season
you guys at nbc and tbs suck for not putting together a 5th season, you guys can pay up to have it done, when you took it off the air i bet your ratings really droped now. Earl is the reason i try to do good things for people now. please put earl back he has to finish that list and be a dad to dodge. i dont think i will ever watch nbc or tbs again.
Germany needs Earl too !
the world needs earl!!!!
Austria wants EARL!!!
Earl can make a few more seasons. I understand the ratings went down every season but another network could increase the ratings. I would like to see a few more seasons instead of a quick wrap up of the show. The show can be on any network. It is just up to the fans to write, email and call the networks. If TBS took off there ” The Office Tuesday” Than I am sure there would be room for My name is Earl. Even though Earl moved on in a new shoe does not mean there gone for good. Most new shows do 1 season and move on. Sometime 2 is pulled. The New Andy Griffith show did 1 season before they moved on. After that is over Earl may get another chance to return to his show. Family guy has been cancelled 3 times and return. futurama has been off over 5 years and came back, It is all about the fans.
Even here in Germany there are lots of "Earl"-Fans and besides the comedy and fun of the series no one should forget the message this series brings with it "do good things" !!! What better message could be brought by a television series and that in such an amazing way ?!? Sad world without Earl....but a BIG thanx to everyone involved in this series, you rock !!!!
My name is Earl, was and will always be an amazing show. I loved it soo much and it was a great relief from all the reality shows they have now days. It showed a comic relief to trailer living. And just all in all a really good show. The people who cancelled Earl need to learn a thing or two about karma..
Bring Earl back! hes a dad!!
I hate all the shows on tbs and fox now they all suck , no one wants to watch a cartoon family guy or that other stupid show cleavland or somthing fuck those stupid reality shows they blow can't take them serious there fake everything on tbs&fox is stupid and lame I don't support them anymore My Name Is Earl " was the best tv series ever"... sienfeld sucks it to old and I can't believe it's still rerunning , I hate basically every show now before I'd watch them ocasionally but since those cheap sceaming asshole rich bastard network people cancelled Earl like that with no respectable ending I'll never watch anything they put on their stupid network unless it's the ending to My Name Is Earl the greatest show to ever be produced
I WANT EARL!!!!!!
N.B.C blunders again thanks A-HOLES
Just once, could someone running things stop and consider the people who watch the shows???? My Name Is Earl is one of the brighest and funniest shows to come along in quite awhile. I am sooooo tired of stupid reality shows. I am so tired of stupid cop shows. I work 14 hours a day and all I want is a show like "Earl". But, once again, what the customer wants is not important-only the almighty dollar. Shame on all of you for cancelling Earl. And may BAD KHARMA follow you forever.
WE WANT EARL!!!! I just got into the show and I want more...somebody needs to get their stuff together and get this show back on the air
WE WANT EARL!!!
WE WANT EARL !
WE WANT EARL !
earl NEEDS to come back and finish his LIST every one wants to know how it was supposed to end !!!!!!!!!!!!
earl was funny as fuck i almost put my self in the hospital from the laughter it was one of the funniest shows ever, bring it back fuck nuts.
C'mon this is only really funny show next to Simpsons and Friends and those idiots cancelled it
I loved that show so enorously much and then they suddenly cancels the show with a end of the forth season wich it standa To Be Continued. Damed idiots=(
I don't realize. Show was huge success. People all around the world liked it and u tell it's not profitable enough to make at least 5th season...It's very sad that u waste good opportunities...Greetings from Serbia..
big mistake, best show since seinfeld
Why?? Fans from the Netherlands want to know why?????
this is bull shit, i fuckin love this show TV executives suck balls!
My Name is Earl was my favorite show. I think the prison episodes and the coma episodes really took away from the show but it was starting to come around. I am sad that it ended on a cliffhanger. Can we at least get a tv movie to finish up the season. The only way I can think of to support the show now is to buy the DVD's, which I have.
Fuck you NBC your going to put on some shitty reality show thats not even funny. My Name is Earl was one of the best fucking shows ever.
It was a great show and they cancelled it. Why so we can watch another reality show please
the creators of the show are fags 4 stoping the show you could of at least finished the to be contiued part leave of hanging or what im wont watch any thing made by those jack asss
i had the same name as the main character i loved that show how could you do that to me
why didi you did you hav to go and lose my name is earl you fuking losers
why did you hav to end it like that like is earl and his kid going to end up being father and son is he ever going to finish his list like what the *@#@# hell man like come on you networks are all cancelling all our shows you start something you cant finish losers just pay them more money you cheap sons of bitchs.
Earl and the gang were funny. They could have at least given us an ending. You realize Leno is to blame. They had to cut 5 hours of prime time for his show.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS, SO FUNNY. THEY HAVE NOT FUNNY SHOWS ON TV ANYMORE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY CANCELLED IT. SO SAD.
BAD KARMA FOR THE IDIOTS WHO AXED EARL THE BEST SHOW ON TV ...LETS PUT SOME HOMO SHOW ON LIKE MY TWO DADS OR MOMS TO APPEASE THE GAYS IN NETWORK NBC U SUCK
Earl was a great show but it not only jumped the shark, but it vaulted way over the shark with those stupid Alyssa Milano episodes... bad karma Earl....should have stuck to the list.
Come to NM and film! We would love to have you and it is affordable!
If TBS can't pick up My Name is Earl, then the show should continue with TV movies or comic books.
