TBS In Talks To Pickup My Name Is Earl

TBS is in preliminary talks to order 13 new episodes of My Name Is Earl. The show was recently canceled by NBC. My Name Is Earl became one of the highest-profile cancellations this season. After it was canceled speculation arose that the series, which has won five Emmys, would find another home either on TBS or Fox.

A deal for new episodes of My Name Is Earl is still a long shot as the two sides have to figure out if an expensive network single-camera series can be produced under a basic cable network’s economic model. Also, while they’re still under a hold, the show’s cast has yet to be lined up for a lower-budget reincarnation of the series at TBS.
