Trivia:

When Earl and Randy are returning the items they stole from the convenience store Earl refers to it as the Quick Stop, the store made famous in 'Kevin Smith' 's _Clerks (1994)_ and referenced in his other movies in which both Jason Lee and Ethan Suplee starred.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: In the scenes where pregnant "Joy" is in the shower, the body double is wearing flesh colored panties, just barely visible at the bottom of the screen. This goof is likely not visible on CRT televisions that over-scan.

Quotes:

Randy: I should be on that show where you have to remember the names of things. What's it called again?

good stuff

This show was really funny. Jason Lee kills me any time anything comes out of his mouth in this show. His character is like Brodie from Mallrats all grown up. Ethan Slupe looks like he's shed a few pounds, but he's also GREAT in his role. These small town rednecks that everyone in town probably crosses the street when they see these 2 brothers walking their way on the same sidewalk. Wise cracks in true Lee style, with his goofy smile-almost as funny as the punchline to most of the jokes on the show. It's almost as good as if Kevin Smith himself directed & produced the show himself I hope this show continues to be as funny as the pilot & stays on the air for years and years to come.
