"My Name is Earl" is all about Earl (Jason Lee from "Almost Famous" and "Chasing Amy") who has taken one too many wrong turns on the highway of life. However, a twist of fate turns his life into a tailspin of life-renewing events. Earl won a small lottery, and, after an epiphany, he is determined to transform his good fortune into a life-changing event as he sets out to right all the wrongs from his past.

In its first season, "My Name Is Earl" has been nominated for 2 Golden Globes, 2 Screen Actors Guild Awards, 1 Directors Guild of America Award, 3 Writers Guild of America Awards, and won the coveted People's Choice Favorite New Television Comedy Award.

Joining Earl along his quest to cleanse his karma on "My Name is Earl" are a few dim-witted friends: hapless brother Randy (Ethan Suplee, "Cold Mountain") and the very sexy Catalina (Nadine Velazquez, "The Bold and the Beautiful"). Even Darnell (Eddie Steeples, "Torque"), the owner of the Crab Shack where Earl drinks beer, offers his support. But it's Earl's ex-wife Joy (Jaime Pressly, "Not Another Teen Movie") who won't lift a finger to help unless there's something in it for her.

Despite his seemingly limited intelligence, Earl is oddly effective -- and the top-rated freshman comedy series, like Earl himself, has a voice and style all its own. Created and written by Greg Garcia ("Yes, Dear), "

My Name Is Earl
