Salvation, thy name is TBS. Fans of My Name is Earl have been wearing black since NBC announced it wasn't picking up the show for a fifth season. But it may be time to break out the flannel once again, as TBS is reportedly in discussions to pick the show up for its schedule.
TBS was always thought to be a contender to throw Earl a life preserver, but shortly after the network upfronts, it was reported that talks died down. Now, Variety says that the two sides--TBS and Earl producer 20th Century Fox--are discussing a 13-episode order of new episodes.
TBS already runs repeats of My Name is Earl and has jumped into original comedy with both feet, so the idea isn't at all far-fetched. What is far-fetched, however, is thinking it could return with all its production values (Earl as a multi-camera comedy? Ehhhh…).
The talks are said to be in the VERY early stages, so don't get too excited yet.
