Amazon.co.uk Review
The fourth and final season of My Name Is Earl continues with the overriding idea of Jason Lee’s Earl going down his list of wrongs to right. It’s a simple concept for a show, as Earl tries to restore karma to his life, and it lends itself really well to the episodic format of a comedy show.

Season four of My Name Is Earl wisely gets things back on track after a bumpy-and-not-entirely-successful third series, and delivers many standout moments in the classic tradition of the show. It also fills in a few bits of back story, and the laugh count, while not quite up there with the show’s debut season, is nonetheless back near the programme’s peak. It goes without saying that the ensemble cast of characters, led by the terrific Jason Lee, are as fun to watch as always, and are set to be sadly missed now that the curtain has fallen on the show.

Perhaps the biggest disappointment with My Name Is Earl is that it doesn’t end particularly comfortably. There were clearly plans afoot for a fifth season, and that does mean that those looking for a finale with a nice big bow are in for a disappointment. Those, however, tempted by one last run for a very funny comedy series are far more likely to have their investment rewarded, though, and My Name Is Earl is set to be a show enjoyed on DVD for a long time to come. --Jon Foster

Synopsis
Popular and critically acclaimed sitcom MY NAME IS EARL stars Jason Lee as a reformed criminal who sees the light when he loses a winning lottery ticket after getting hit by a car. He decides his bad luck can be chalked up to bad karma, and sets about making amends with everyone he has ever wronged. This very long list includes a former victim of Earl's schoolyard bullying, whom he helps to come out of the closet, and a one-legged girl from whom Earl once stole a car. Ethan Suplee (MALLRATS) plays Earl's slow but good-hearted brother and sidekick, Randy, and Jaime Pressly (NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE) plays Earl's ex-wife, Joy. Playing out like a small-screen version of a Coen brothers film, MY NAME IS EARL is funny, creative, clever, full of heart--and one of the best television series to come down the pike in quite a while. This collection presents the fourth series in its entirety.
