Please keep your complaints to a minimum
So some guy on "My Name is Earl" is complaining that the show got cancelled. First of all, heaven forbid you don't have those extra hundreds of thousands of dollars an episode to keep all your other millions warm. What a tragedy. Second, that show is mediocre at best. The premise is fairly original, but the cast and writing is mediocre. People might wonder why shows like Seinfeld and Friends and Family Guy were/are so successful. One reason: Legitimately ground-breaking comedy. The always changed things up and kept it fresh, and regularly pushed the envelope. "My Name is Earl" is a show which produces a mild smattering of chuckles whereas the aforementioned shows were/are consistently laugh-out-loud funny. Maybe I should be a television exec.
