My Name is Earl May Find Life at TBS
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Cable, NBC, My Name Is Earl, Rumors,
UPDATE: EW is reporting that Earl is gone for good.
If at first you don’t succeed (on NBC), try, try again (elsewhere).
Despite receiving a cancellation notice, Medium was revived by rival network CBS last month. The move - which will place the Patricia Arquette show right after Ghost Whisperer - is being considered a win for the program.
Now it’s looking like another NBC series might be given a second chance. According to sources, TBS is in early talks to pick up My Name is Earl. (The comedy was dumped by the Peacock after four seasons and five Emmys.) If all goes well, fans could possibly find 13 new episodes of the series on the cable network.
Reruns of Earl currently air on TBS.

One week after facing a new Private Practice, Southland was put to another test. A repeat of Criminal Minds not only did better than the now-moved Harper’s Island, it attracted the most viewers in the 10:00 hour.
8pm
- Survivor: Tocantins (11.7 million, 3.6/11 in 18-49) improved by 300,000.
- Bones (8.8 million, 2.2/7) saw an increase of 600,000.
- Ugly Betty (6.8 million, 2.0/6) was off 10% from its the last original.
- My Name is Earl (2.2/7) and Parks and Recreation (2.3/7) both pulled in 5.3 million.
- Smallville (3.3 million, 1.4/4) rounded up another 200,000.

Thursday Ratings: Parks Weakens Without Office
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Grey’s Anatomy, My Name Is Earl, Survivor, The Office, Ratings,
Although it’s still hard to say how Southland will do against an ABC original, the series held up remarkably well in its second week. Unfortunately, the same can’t entirely be said for Harper’s or Parks. The CBS mystery lost nearly 2 million in its second week while the comedy suffered a case of the post-Earl blues.
8pm
- Survivor: Tocantins (11.6 million, 3.5/11 in 18-49) added on 300,000.
- Bones (8.7 million, 2.5/8) slipped by 200,000.
- My Name is Earl (5.3 million, 2.1/7) did 1.9 million less than last week’s Office; Parks and Recreation (5.9 million, 2.5/7) fell by 900,000 after smaller lead-in.
- In the Motherhood (4.7 million, 1.4/5) and Samantha Who? (5 million, 1.5/5) were both up 100,000.
- Smallville* (1.8 million, 0.8/2) was off by 200,000.
