NBC’s EARL Nearing The End Of His List??
I am – Hercules!!
Years of unfunny sitcom karma may have finally caught up to NBC's “My Name Is Earl.”
Deadline Hollywood Daily reports that “Earl” – the creator of “Yes, Dear’s” tedious and low-rated appropriation of the Coen Bros.’ glorious “Raising Arizona” – may finally find itself cancelled after failing to beat even ABC’s meager “In The Motherhood” debut last Thursday.
Key-demo ratings for new episodes aired March 26:
7.4 American Idol
5.5 Grey’s Anatomy
4.7 Hell’s Kitchen
4.3 The Office
3.8 Private Practice
3.5 ER
3.5 NCAA Basketball
3.4 30 Rock
2.1 Samantha Who
2.1 In The Motherhood
2.0 My Name Is Earl
1.5 Smallville
1.2 Supernatural
