Quote of the day: "102.1 Harmison to Ponting, no run, wide and Ponting has to stretch to reach it. "Harmison couldn't hit an elephant from 20 paces?" was Jeff Thomson's assessment earlier. Guess it depends on the size of the elephant." - baggygreen.com

Title: My name is Earl. My moustaches name is Mo.

I really look forward to Thursday evenings, for me its the Oscar night of television lineups. My name is Earl kicks off a great night of laughs, Family Guy never dissapoints, Australian Celebrity Survivor is laughable. All up its an entertaining Thursday night that sends me to bed happy and ready to deal with Friday.

Recently, I bought the season DVD of My Name Is Earl. Quite a tribute really . A larger tribute is that it only took me three days to watch the entire season. What ever shall I do without Earl?

For those who aren't acquainted with the series (shame on you), Earl is your typical Southern American Trailer Boy who lives on the wrong side of the road. That is until he discovers Karma! Desperate to discover good things in his life he devises a list of all his previous wrongs and each episode follows him attempting to correct these items on his list.


Where the show hits the nail on the head is Jason Lee. Frontlining an actor discovered by Kevin Smith is always a good thing. Sporting a festy old mo is even better! It surprised me to learn that the trademark facial sprout was a matter of contention until the 11th hour. Finally the broadcasters relented to allow Jason an abfuscated upper lip. I think thats true Karma!

Keeping this blog in the theme of television productions, I'd like to segue this post to some product placement. Far more important than My name is Earl is the upcoming month of Movember. A month raising awareness for mens health, and the all mighty mo.

Yours truly will be hiding his upper lip, and if you wish to join me and other luminaries like David Boon, Hulk Hogan, Ned Flanders, and Earl, then swing by www.movember.com

Because if you can learn anything at all from Earl, its that what goes around comes around.

Got the DVd from the US myself. Huge fan of jason Lee and the show.

Good, witty comedy with a pulse.

It is released on DVD in Oz at the end of this month, when I will put up my review of it too.

Between us we can get people watching.

Its always made difficult when a good series is shown on Channel 7.

I believed people when they complained about shows being broadcast in the incorrect order, but I never realised by how much until buying the season DVD.

Cheers for your comments and keep on checking out mediated.

Over the next day or two I'll be running some TV/Film reviews (mainly because I recently saw Fast Food Nation and need to spread the word!)
