My Name Is Revival

Twentieth Century Fox’s TV beauty TBS is looking at electrocuting the life back into the karma induced comedy, My Name Is Earl. Sliding towards them is a thirteen episode deal that could bring the once-was-cancelled TV series on the silver screen even longer. Then again, it would completely make sense for them to continue cashing in on one of their re-run sitcoms.

"You hear that? It might be us coming back with more episodes."

Nothing is set in stone at the moment as these negotiations are still in their baby stages. Still, for those who are fans of the four season comedy would be happy as can be to still see Jason Lee (when he’s not in Alvin and the Chipmunks). My Name Is Earl is about “Earl J. Hickey”, a petty crook with occasional run-ins with the law, whose newly won $100,000 lottery ticket is lost when he is hit by a car. Lying in a hospital bed, under the influence of morphine, he develops a belief in the concept of karma when he hears about it during an episode of Last Call with Carson Daly. He decides he wants to turn his life around and makes a list of all the bad things he’s ever done. After doing his first good deed, he finds his $100,000 lottery ticket. He sees this as a sign and, with his new lucky money, he proceeds to cross items off the list one by one by doing good deeds in correspondence to the list items to atone for them.

Currently My Name Is Earl is running its seasons on TBS as it still sits in cancellation mode with thanks of NBC who still hold onto the sitcom.
