Default Petition to save My Name is Earl

NBC has offically decided to cancel My Name Is Earl which is my favorite show so that sucks but Fox, ABC, and TBS are all interested in picking up Earl so there is still hope.

On Twitter.com there is a petition to save the show and it's been up for close to two days and all ready nearly 7,000 people have joined the movement.

I made a account just for this so if your a fan of the show like myself go to the following link.

If enough people join this thing the other networks and cable channels might take notice.

Why did they cancel Earl? Where the ratings that bad? I thought it was one of their better shows.

Wait.... My Name Is Earl is getting cancelled, yet not only is that horrid NCIS show still alive, it's getting a new show?! It's like CSI for dumb people, a role already filled by CSI: Miami. And atleat it has the hilarity of over the top bad writing and David Caruso's "acting".

I love Earl. Makes me wish I was white trash.

I hear Fox is probably going to pick it up, so a petition seems a bit pointless. I thought the show kind of went off the deep end in the last season, better to end a show when's it's still good rather than keep it going like The Simpsons.

EDIT: "Pointless" isn't the word I'm looking for... Too harsh. I just don't think it's time to panic just yet.

I still enjoy NCIS, but mostly when I'm on the road, or in a hotel. I usually don't watch TV at home.

I hope Fox or whomever does pick this up, because it's one of the best shows around. I love Earl.

What? I... What?

O.K, first The Simpsons is still one of the highest-rated shows on Earth. IF memory serves me right, it was #7.

Second, the scripting is imaginative and always well-written. Thi means while the storylines get way more wacky, it means that it is always fun to watch.

And Third, it is a comedy, so has the ability to make fun of itself, while making fun of society.

Really, it's like Petrol. That's if Family Guy is crude oil...

P.S. I want Earl to be picked up by someone who will keep showing it in the U.K
P.P.S. I like family guy.

If you're talking about My Name Is Earl, then I'm sorta with you. I didn't like the last season all that much, but that boils down to taste more than anything.

If you're talking about The Simpsons... Even the Voice Actors complain about the quality of writing nowadays. The show is terrible. I watched my first episode for months a couple of days ago (something about barley and immigrants) and I couldn't get through it. They're beating a whole herd of dead horses.

Earl yes.

Except for the first point. Which was that somebody must think it's good.

It's a shame that My Name is Earl is going off the air, but when have internet petitions ever worked in "un-canceling" a show.

Farscape was cancelled with 4 or 5 episodes remaining. As a result of petitions fans got a tv movie made out of it, to at least end the series. But for the most part they don't work really lol
