Amazon.co.uk Review
After cooking up a winning formula for the first season, this karmic comedy could afford to shake things up. In Earl's equally successful second, there's an episode incorporating clay animation ("Robbed a Stoner Blind" with Christian Slater), an homage to Cops ("Our 'Cops' Is On!" with Kathy Kinney), a two-parter set in Latin America ("South of the Border" with John Leguizamo), and a Tarantino-style whodunnit with narration split between Earl, Randy, Joy, and Crab Man ("Buried Treasure"). As before, Earl (Jason Lee), in cahoots with brother Randy (Ethan Suplee), continues in his quest to become "a better person." He starts by turning to Camden County strip club owner Richard Chubby (Burt Reynolds) to get ex-wife Joy out of a jam involving stolen merchandise ("Jump for Joy"). Joy's struggle to evade prison will last all year, during which Earl falls for her "hot professional" lawyer (Marlee Matlin). Other highlights include "Sticks & Stones," in which Earl gives a bearded lady (Judy Greer) back her confidence, and "Larceny of a Kitty Cat," in which the allergic Randy dates a feline fancier (Amy Sedaris). When that comes to an end, he finally works up the nerve to tell motel maid Catalina (Nadine Velazquez) how he really feels about her ("Foreign Exchange Student'). From the start, Earl attracted a colourful array of talent. That trend continues with Roseanne Barr as a nun ("Made a Lady Think I Was God") and John Waters as a funeral director ("Kept a Guy Locked in a Truck"). Emmy nominees Giovanni Ribisi and Beau Bridges also return for a few episodes, along with other first-season favourites, like Patty, the Daytime Hooker (Dale Dickey). As with the previous set, there's a bushel of extras, including deleted scenes, commentary, and a blooper reel. --Kathleen C. Fennessy, Amazon.com

What a laugh April 21, 2008

Just bought this 2nd series after seeing bits of it on tv. Had a bit of time on my hands so watched it in a couple of days-all 4 dvds. Is such a funny show. Havent seen 1st series so will be ordering that. In the meantime I will just have to watch this series again. Loved the Cops episode. You MUST buy this!!!
Classic comedy you'll watch over and over April 6, 2008
This is if possible better than the first series, there are alot of belly laugh moments in this series if you have not seen the first series get it and then get this. As others have already said this series explains more about Earls life the one with Ralph is by far the best.
For me this is one of those series's that you have to own it's like you have to own the back to the future trilogy, trust me if you like comedy or at the very least are able to laugh you will love this show.
This show gets better and better... February 22, 2008

If you have seen the first series of My Name is Earl then you will know how funny it can be, however this season gets even funnier and unlike the first season, the second does not focus fully on the list, but does focus on other matters and we begin to learn more about Earl, Darnell and especially Randy. Episodes to look out for are: Van Hickey (Includes Raplh), Born a Gamblin Man and The Trial.
Not to spolt things too much but ... Surprising ending.

I can only agree with the previous reviewer. As this series is being shown on Channel 4 and is already available as a DVD in the USA it seems, to say the least, eccentric that I too am am unable to buy this as a Christmas present for folks that I care about (including me!)
In the meantime I guess all that remains for me to do is number 97 on my list "Always fell asleep during the kids Christmas afternoon TV"
Very good follow up to Season One, but should have arrived on DVD before Christmas November 16, 2007

Although some of novelty of season one has worn off, as well as the directors relying on somewhat more traditional U.S. TV trappings, My Name is Earl season two is still an excellent series. It pushes the format by focusing on story arcs and development of regular characters, which helps the show retain it's freshness.
However, whilst the DVD has a comparable amount of special features to season one set(including the very funny episode commentaries) I can't understand why FOX have chosen to wait until after Christmas '07 to release this in the U.K. I was hoping to put it on Christmas list this year as were many, and was dissapointed that FOX have chosen to shoot themselves in the foot from both a sales and consumer point of view.
So, a cracking DVD set that I can't really fault other than the delay between it's release in the U.S. in September, and it's supposed January '08 launch here.
