My Name is Earl: Season finale laughs and shockers

Few shows make me laugh out loud anymore. And when they do, I let you know about it.

Don’t miss the season finale of My Name is Earl on Thursday, if you want a good old-fashioned belly laugh.

I watched the season finale already and counted the number of times I laughed out loud. For the record, it was 10, and that didn’t include the perma-grin planted on my face throughout the entire show.

I’m not sure who makes me giggle more: Joy, and her politically incorrect, brass, tell-it-like-it-is attitude, or Crabman, whose hair height acts as a mood meter for what’s going on in his life.

In the season ender, Joy is on trial for stealing a truck, and Earl is trying desperately to keep her out of prison. Oscar winner Marlee Matlin reprises her role as Joy’s deaf lawyer and brings along her hilarious translator.

Will Joy go to the big house and be karma’s bitch? Or will Earl concoct a plan to save her?

Sorry, I can’t tell you. NBC would dish out its own karma to me if I spoiled the surprise ending for you.

I can tell you this. Don’t miss Earl on Thursday at 8 p.m. on NBC.
