2 seasons into the show, and I'm still reeling from the shock of watching Jaime Pressley pull an entirely unpredictable 180. Prior to "Earl", she seemed destined to haunt Blockbuster bargain bins and Lifetime TV movies for the next couple of decades as a no-great-shakes B-movie sexpot. As Joy, she is hands-down the funniest female character currently gracing your TV screen. This may be Jason Lee's show, but Pressley is committing grand larceny every time she's on screen. Her takes are absolutely hilarious. We're talking' "Lucy In The Candy Factory" funny here. Just the way she chews gum is enough to induce paroxysms. Political incorrectness hasn't been this much fun since the halycon days of Archie Bunker.
Terrific writing, great ensemble work and some inspired guest appearances (Givoanni Ribisi in particular). Hope Earl never runs out of things to cross off his list.
