Earl has taken one too many wrong turns on the highway of life as a bully and a low-rent crook, but he wins a lottery and has an epiphany: He will turn his good fortune into a life-changing event, as he sets out to right all the wrongs from his past. Despite his seemingly limited intelligence, he is oddly effective -- and has a voice and style all his own.

Alan Sepinwall Newark Star-Ledger Oct 3, 2018
By this point, "Earl" is what it is: a sometimes amusing, sometimes dull, shaggy dog comedy. Go to Full Review Jon Caramanica Los Angeles Times Oct 3, 2018
Surprisingly, given its sometimes tunnel-like perspective, "Earl" also succeeds with topical humor. Go to Full Review Amanda Ann Klein PopMatters Oct 3, 2018
8/10
Earl is proof that a popular primetime sitcom can be both bitingly funny and socially relevant. Go to Full Review Jane Boursaw CinemaBlend Oct 3, 2018
I love this show, but this [season premiere] episode wasn't as funny as I hoped it would be - especially after waiting since last May for it. Sure, it's nice to have Earl and the gang back, but let's see something really inspired, Earl Writers. Go to Full Review Jonah Krakow IGN Oct 3, 2018
7/10
A line graph of his life in season three would look like a downhill ski run, while a graph of episode quality over the course of the season would look like a rollercoaster. Go to Full Review Carl England Den of Geek Oct 2, 2018
3/5
Season three is an excellent return to greatness, albeit in a slightly altered form from before, but still, a fantastic addition to a series with as much warmth as a burning building. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jeffery J. @Jeffery420 Feb 28, 2026 Love the show it’s amazing but this season is what got the series canceled in the worst way this season completely forgot the story of the show. This is the reason why It got canceled. See more Jan 15, 2022 Strong season, even without the list plot being the main focus See more Mar 25, 2021 At this stage, Earl J. Hickey has perhaps surpassed mighty Hercules in deeds. See more Jan 28, 2020 A crazy mess, Season 3 of My Name is Earl is all over the place and off the rails. After being send to prison Earl continues to work on making up for his bad deeds and finds a friend in the warden, who offers him time off his sentence in exchange for help solving some of the prison's problems, and after he gets out Earl has a crisis of faith. The writers quickly realize that putting Earl in prison was a mistake, and try to get out of it with flashback episodes, furloughs from prison, and eventually an early release at midseason. And they have a tough time coming up with B and C-stories (which are often contrived and awkwardly forced in) to keep Joy, Darnell, and Catalina around. Still, some interesting guest stars make appearances, including Howie Mandel, Jane Lynch, Michael Pena, and Paris Hilton. Also, Craig T. Nelson, Michael Rapaport, and Alyssa Milano join the cast as recurring characters and bring a fresh new energy to the show. My Name is Earl goes to some strange and unusual places in its third season (not all of them good), but manages to deliver plenty of laughs along the way. See more Read all reviews
