Cuts Too Costly To Move My Name Is Earl To TBS
June 11th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Email | Share | TweetDespite interest from TBS to continue My Name Is Earl with new episodes, producing studio 20th Century Fox TV and creator-executive producer Greg Garcia have opted not to move forward after examining all the cuts they had to make in order to produce the broadcast series for cable network TBS.
“Greg Garcia’s brilliant ‘My Name Is Earl’ kept America laughing for the past four seasons and certainly deserved to continue for many more,” 20th TV said in a statement Thursday.
“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, Greg 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.”
