My Name Is Earl "My Name is Inmate 28301-016 Part 1 + 2" Review (TV)

About?: This is the season premiere of the third season of My Name is Earl. At the end of the second season Joys was being trailed for a crime she committed during the beginning of the season. As Joy (Jamie Pressly) is plead guilty and was about to go to jail was when Earl (Jason Lee) told the judge that he did this crime no Joy. Instead of Joy going to jail, Earl when to jail. The Third Season starts up as Earl is in jail. Earl tries to stay invisible so he doesn't get into trouble but while there Earl meets a childhood "friend" who is on his list (played by Ben Foster) and he wants to kill Earl because of what happened when they were kids. Earl tries to cross him off the list while not being stabbed. Another plot is what is happening with Randy (Ethan Suplee) about being lonely without Earl and Joy's guilt of Earl going to prison for her. So Earl has her take care of Randy awhile he's in prison.

My Thoughts: As we find out what is going to happen with Earl and his jail situation I was cautious about what direction they can push the show. At first I was really reluctant because I was thinking how will he work on his karma. Seeing the first episode of this season I really enjoyed this Ben Foster who is a guest staring as a man in jail who Earl wronged one time in his life. The story of this Karma was good I was very pleased. The scenes that were in the jail were entertaining but I thought that the scenes with Joy and Randy was bogging down the story a little bit and at time where boring.

Overall: This is a good and solid episode to start up the third season of My Name is Earl. My Name is Inmate 28301-016 Parts 1 and 2 still get some good laughs, that why I rated My Name is Earl a:
3.5 out of 5
