Curiosità:

The items in Earl's list shown during the opening sequence read as follows: - 56: Stole Liquor from Liquor store - 57: Told Joy Dan Dodd messed himself on the (rest cut out of frame) - 58: Fixed a high school football game - 59: Everything I did to Dad - 60: Pulled fire alarm - 61: Stole Mom's car (but I gave it back) - 62: Faked death to break up with a girl - 63: Wasted electricity - 64: Spray Painted The bridge - 65: Cost Dad the election - 66: Let mice out at school play - 67: Stole beer from a golfer - 68: Blew up mailboxes - 69: Cheated on School tests a lot

Errori:

Errori rivelatori: In the scenes where pregnant "Joy" is in the shower, the body double is wearing flesh colored panties, just barely visible at the bottom of the screen. This goof is likely not visible on CRT televisions that over-scan.

pilot was fantastic, can it continue...

OK, it was only one episode, but it was very funny. Jason Lee, best known to me, from Mumford and most Kevin Smith movies, was perfect. His dumb brother, Randy, played by Kevin Smith alum, Ethan Suplee was fun as well. Jaime Pressly oddly was the best cast. ALthough I believed the brothers were redneck bums, down on there luck, house breaking into losers...Jaime was the best suited to her character. She was picture perfect as the just a little too old, old time beauty queen tramp. She was a blast. In fact all the characters had features of them that stood out. I'm marking Tuesday night at 8 pm on my calender. This show (if one show is any indication...) is a keeper.

9 out of 10 or better.

update...

Season One is just ending, and yes, the show chugged along nicely throughout the season. Too bad it's already changed nights (to Thursday opposite CSI) but that's a small price to pay for a funny show like this one. Here's to a great second season, cheers.
