‘My Name is Earl’ Cancelled, Fall TV Renewed and Cancelled Cheat Sheet

Ethan Suplee has confirmed that NBC has pulled the plug on “My Name is Earl.” The status of the sitcom has been up in the air for most of the season. Suplee, Earl’s tv brother and sidekick Randy, made the announcement via his Twitter.

“Just got the call that My Name Is Earl has been canceled,” he wrote. “They sure did take their time with that decision — or rather informing us of it.”

However, Earl fans (like myself, it reminds me of home) may not be dead so don’t throw out your “I *Heart* Randy” t-shirts just yet. Fox and ABC have been discussing taking the show off NBC’s hands. This isn’t the only show getting the axe. The lovely and Smurfy Ausiello has a cheat sheet with the current status of your favorite shows.
