Everybody’s favorite redneck won’t be getting back on the screen, I’m sorry to report, despite rumors that the show would be getting a short reprieve on cable.
It was being reported that 20th Century Fox TV was in talks with TBS about a possible 13-episode pickup, but those plans have been cancelled by Fox, who released the following statement:
"While we had hoped to find a way to produce additional episodes for TBS, in the final analysis we simply could not make the economics work without seriously undermining the artistic integrity of the series.
As none of us, [series creator] Greg [Garcia] included, want the show to go out on anything but a high note, we regret that we must put to rest any speculation that Earl will continue.
We are grateful to everyone at TBS for their enthusiasm for the series and wish to offer our heartfelt thanks to the cast and crew of My Name is Earl for their incredible work."
So, there you have it: My Name is Earl is dead.
