My Name Is Earl - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)

Earl bungles his way through each episode and somehow everything turns out ok in the end. With his enterage of seriously flawed friends the scene is set for some great comedy. We join Earl just after his enlightenment - determined to make ammends for all the wrong-doings in his life he writes a list of things that he needs to right. So starts a new life for Earl. Light hearted entertainment with a high level of feelgood factor.

Saw it on TV and had to buy it and it is worth every penny very funny made me laugh and relaxed me after a long day, Have to buy the next seasons now.

Great set. Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma ! Good karma !

This is all very amusing. The central joke about all bad people having facial hair is well maintained throughout. The beard ballet interludes are the best element.

we absolutely loved this season and immediately bought season 2 and 3. highly recommended. enjoyed it immensely. jamie pressly is stunning in every sense and outstaning as joy

Arguably one of the best comedy programmes running. The funniest show for the current generation. Great quality of picture dvds flow well from episode to episode with bountiful extras.

great comedy show that toches on real-life issues with a great message!
a must for all if you have always been wondering 'why me?'

fuckin powerfull fuckin powerfull fuckin powerfull fuckin powerfull fuckin powerfull aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Brilliantly funny in all areas and highly recommended to Jason Lee fans, in particular. I liked him in Mallrats etc and this swayed my biase to give this a chance.

Pros(+) vs. Cons(-)

+ Great story based on one man's belief of karma and his list of tasks he must complete to attone for previous sins.
+ Classic Characters who are well developed each episode. I like Darnelle (crabman) the best and is pet mr turtle :P
+ Really good watching time, 24 episodes of hilarity!

- NONE :) i like it that much

BUY IT! I would definately say it is worth up to £20 :)

Missed the series on tv and wanted to see it, so downloaded the 1st episode of I-tunes and liked it. Wanted to see the whole thing but found it too pricey in the shops and on I-tunes for the rest of the series! Thought about renting it but then your tied to watching it in a certain time so found a copy on Ebay at a very resonable price. Watched it, enjoyed it, and re-sold it, seen the whole series really for the price of the 1st episode of I-tunes. Great.

Really pleased with dvd's, great price and quick delivery. Would definateley buy again from this selle. many thanks

I have recently started watching this series on e4, never realised how good this is, would recommend to all to buy and watch this

Being a fan of jason lee, i was happy when My Name is Earl first appeared. A laugh out loud show it is one of the best sitcoms to come out of the US in the last few years.

An essential purchase for fans of the series, or anyone who likes a good laugh.

very good series , good sense of humour needed, excellent all round dvd , will buy series 2 , good value for money

The best series to come out of America in years. This has a totally orginal plot and a great cast. I personnal love all of the jay and silent bob films and jason lee has starred in serveral if not all of the these films.

Perpect arrived just on time so i watched it on the someday.
Came with all 4 Disc and Boxe set in very good condition the was one of the best Ebay seller.
I would recommend this seller to all Ebay buyers.

Have never liked American humour - untill 'Earl' came along. Suits my perverse sense of humour in that it's not politically correct. Series one tied up story lines and all episodes neatly and thought couldn't be bettered. Series 2 as good. Lost way a bit mid-way but quickly gets back on track and leaves you eager for 3rd series. (Now underway and living up to expectations)

Something to watch when you're feeling down or want a good laugh. Raises the 'spirits' and I believe is quite motivational.Helps me laugh at my own foibles.

this show is bloody brillant i not a real fan of yankee sitcom shows but i love this show i cant what for series three to come on tv

This tv series is absolutely wicked. Karma is a funny thing.

I watched a few episodes of this on tv but needed to buy the box set.

I would recommend this, all characters are amazing, and really, really funny!

This is full on entertainment, a really enjoyable series to watch.

Only thing is your sides get sore after watching so much of it with laughing lol.

I watched episodes of My Name Is Earl while on holiday in Cape Verde in July 2007 and was instantly hooked. This Christmas I was lucky to receive series 1 on DVD. The thing I like best is that you get to know the characters very well and the relationship between them all is hilarious to watch. The only thing I did not like was the length of each episode - 20 minutes is not long enough but then this is geared for US TV so adverts every 5 minutes. However there are 24 episodes in series 1 so this goes towards making up for that.

You can watch it over and over and see something new. Try looking into the backgound scenes to spot extra fun.

I bought "My Name Is Earl - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)" because I had seen some of the episodes and loved them. It's extremely funny, interesting, and the characters are really good. The only thing I dislike about My Name Is Earl is that it is quite repetative but if you like them like me you'll watch them anyway.

This is a genius idea for a series - trailer trash lawbreaker, Earl Hickey, (Jason Lee on top form) wins lottery and, whilst high on morphine in hospital, discovers a slightly wonky version of the ancient concept of karma (put at its simplest: good actions bring good back to you, bad actions bring bad fortune). He writes a list of all his past wrongdoings & sets out on a quest (with his um, rather slow, brother, Randy - superbly played by Ethan Suplee) to repair the damage he's done to others.

Each episode attempts to remedy at least one bad deed from the list, but the path to achieving this is rarely simple, sometimes pretty surreal and always totally hilarious.

Some people have criticised the fact that Earl doesn't work through his list in any set order, instead he reacts to apparently random incidents which he believes that karma has sent him. In my opinion, this is essential to keeping the series interesting and reinforcing the idea that he's being driven by karmic forces. (There's a great Wikipedia page on My Name Is Earl, which I'd recommend if you're interested in knowing more about the series, especially the whole karma thing).

There's a fantastic ensemble cast here, too. As well as Jason Lee & Ethan Suplee in the main roles as the Hickey brothers, there's the laid-back, gentle Darnell, aka the Crabman (Eddie Steeples), now married to Earl's devious ex-wife Joy (Jaime Pressly) and the motel maid Catalina (Nadine Velazquez) with the disturbingly dark past. Characters are way more than one-dimensional stereotypes, though - for example, Joy is also shown as a fabulously loving mother, even if she may not be a traditional one!

Can't think of a duff moment in Series 1, it's all top class & definitely well worth buying. I'd seen most of the episodes on TV already, but they didn't lose anything on repeat viewing. They were just as funny & entertaining second time around. The bits I've caught of Series 2 (now showing on C4 in the UK) has not seemed quite as strong, maybe a bit darker, but I'll be queuing up to buy it when it's released on DVD.
