Considering what "The Office" did last night, and what "30 Rock" did a week ago, I didn't expect "My Name Is Earl" to match those comedic highs. But it still offered a very respectable hour, even if it contained a basic disappointment. …
Comments and spoilers about tonight's one-hour telecast, after the jump.
Because I had a gigantic memory lapse last night, I neglected to record most of my Thursday faves, and only saw "Grey's Anatomy" in its entirety because we got home in time.
But, as title of this post indicates, I am catching up thanks to online viewing. Haven't gotten through all of "30 Rock" or "Earl" because, well, I am at the office and can't spend every second watching shows and laughing too loudly. But what I've seen of "30 Rock" has been plenty hilarious, even in the throwaway lines (Jenna's having to get out of bed at 4 a.m. and go home). Good start to "Earl," too, thanks to the Joy-Catalina dozens. As Tracy would say, "BANTER!"
I expect to add more later, assuming I remember to watch "Friday Night Lights."
I did get through "Earl," "The Office" and "30 Rock." I may post some longer thoughts late. For now, my amusement was at best piecemeal — the Joy stuff in "Earl," the trash-talking in "The Office." …
Not everything on Thursday night was my cup of tea, but …
Anyone care to comment on last night's "Friday Night Lights"? Are we in better territory than at the start of the season, or worse?
As for Thursday, was that the worst "Office" episode ever or what?
Also, in case you missed them, you can link here to my reviews of "Things We Lost in the Fire" and "Gone Baby Gone."

If Howie had been a tad slower, Stephen Furst might be hosting "Deal or No Deal" now.
More disappointment from "30 Rock" and "Reaper," big fun with "Earl," after the jump. …
Just as a reminder that I wear a movie hat, here's a link to my review of "Into the Wild." I've also been meaning to post some thoughts about "The Kingdom," which I saw last weekend, and about the style of director Peter Berg. Maybe over this weekend.
As for the continued march through Thursday's shows, talk about "The Office," "My Name Is Earl" and "Mad Men," with spoilers, after the jump …
Besides watching the (not available for preview) "Cavemen" premiere last night, as well as recent doses of "Carpoolers," "Everybody Hates Chris," "Aliens in America," "30 Rock," "The Office," "My Name Is Earl," "How I Met Your Mother," "Two and a Half Men," "Girlfriends" and the overall picture is, well, mixed. …

"How many Emmys do you get for treating a deer?"
The all-star video-for-a-cause is a pretty tired joke at this point. But at least this ditty for "My Name Is Earl" — which should be watchable just after 3 a.m. Eastern — offers a reminder of some of the funny characters who have passed through the show. (Note some of the video language is PG-ish.)
