Coming up: Pedants and the bloggers who hate them!
(#'s 4 and 5!)

Hey, Jen! It's a quote, dumbass! Am I supposed to correct the grammar of someone I'm quoting? Maybe you don't know what those four little lines around the sentence mean since you're not a "professional writer." Now get back to the work, the cars in the drive thru are backing up and people need their McNuggets.

"hadn't of?" Really? I don't normally bash the questionable writing by some of the posters on this website, but that's beyond bad for a "professional" writer.

Maybe catching Frank will lead to Earl getting out much sooner... The prison is limiting, and what better good behavior than catching an escapee.

you're joking when you ask if anyone else saw the 'double meaning', right?!?
that entire paragraph confuses me, honestly.
what part of the green message involved saving food? this wasn't NBC for Africa...
what's wrong with having convicted felons working in dangerous e-waste facilities? better that than taking away minimum wage jobs from the average american so the state can save a buck or two.
and is bee movie anti-global warming or something? or are you upset that seinfeld used natural resources to produce the bee movie minis (or whatever they were called)?

anyway, i thought the montage of Joy trying to get the baby out was hilarious and disturbing all at once... especially the plunger. eww.

Another good episode...I'm glad to see that "Earl" is back on track.

Paul, I noticed the writers' commentary on "Green Week" too -- the warden wants Earl to include an environmentalist theme too, and he protests that he'd just be wedging it in. And that is what they did on the show -- wedged the environmental part in. It was not essential to the plot in any way.

There were also lots of great moments that had me laughing throughout the episode. For me, the hands-down funniest part was Randy's line:
"No, Earl! I'm the one who looks out for you! Who do you think replaced your old mattress after Hepatitis Bob had sex with it?!"
I was laughing so hard at that line that I almost missed the remainder of their conversation.

Like "30 Rock," "Earl" not only actively avoided getting into the environmental theme (as did "The Office," which completely ignored it and simply had Michael go into the wilderness, nothing more), but it also parodied it. That, for me, was brilliance.

But is it true that next week's episode was the last that was written before the writers' strike? That would suck...I want to see a lot more of all of NBC's Thursday night comedies...
