So Tuesday rolls by and I forget I'm in the central time zone -- and the show's already over. I believe it is on later tonight, like 11 o'clock (er, EDT) on Bravo. Let's see if I manage to remember.
However, that's not so bad. My Name is Earl is an episodic comedy. I'd like to see the premeire but I could probably drop in the second week without feeling my latent obsessive-compulsive desire erupt.
Last week I spent some 5 days or so eye-blastingly tethered to my monitor while I watched the entire last season of Lost on DVD. Amongst other talent, Lost features Terry O'Quinn -- a favorite amongst escapees of the Rutgers philosophy program. (Chris Carter must have the best casting director in the universe--seems all the secondary roles and walk-ons in X-Files and Millenium were terrific).
But the Lost season opener also seemed to be showing at central time in Texas. So now I've got to wait one full year--while studiously avoiding any mention of the show--before I can catch this season on DVD.
Some day, TiVo, you will be mine...

you've gotta get outta texas steve - there's nothing cool in the central timezone
but take pity on me, australia just had the lost season 1 finale a couple of weeks ago
Earl did not impress...a victim of Overhype to me
And I missed Earl again -- part of what bugs me about TV is that I don't want to have to organize my life around it, thus waiting the year for DVD.
I believe North Dakota has The Mystery Spot -- and that's pretty cool...

This wasn't sufficent every time, so I found out that you can look up your favorite programs and add them to "My Calendar" section of "My Yahoo" page which will send you an email reminder the day of the show.
I caught Earl on Bravo and was underwhelmed. The ads were better than the show. Still, I'll give it a couple more eps before giving up on it.
Okay -- caught the last ten minutes of Earl tonight.
Unfortunately, those seemed to be the ten minutes where the show went into "important social lesson" mode and taught me the value of working with family to quit smoking.
I wish Hollywood was less original and just made a bunch of Seinfeld knock-offs.
