Due to an almost Y2K-like fear on the part of the television industry over the Feb. 2009 switch-over to digital, February “Sweeps” for 2009 has been officially cancelled by the Nielsen group, and will run in March next year.
Now, I could go off on another rant about how the Nielsen ratings should be trashed and replaced with a new system anyway – but I’ll skip it and just say, “I’m not surprised”.

maybe My Name Is Earl is getting cancelled because NBC & 20TH Century Fox
know now after all the evidence
that was provided by Mark Gable’s
world renown lawyers, that garcia really
did rip off Mark Gable’s script Karma. And NBC & 20TH Century Fox are embarrassed to be associated with garcia.
cause greg is full of shit.
ask greg to explain Karma by Mark Gable.
Mark Gable wrote My name is Earl, read the lawsuit.
what kind of man accepts an award for work he didn’t create?
pats on the back, limo’s, champagne, hamptons mansions, red carpet events and lunch at the ivy mean everything to hacks like greg garcia.
it’s really tragic when the only way a man can get a hit and win an award is by pretending someone else’s work is their own.
writer? Toni morrison is a writer.
greg garcia is a hack and he should step up and return Mark Gable’s work.

Dave aka panzy/moron/punk/loser! You need to get a life! I’m a writer myself. I read the lawsuit against Garcia. It sure looks like Garcia ripped off Gable. So I think it’s worth acknowledging. It’s not a joke. It’s losers like you that would condone this thievery! You’re Garcia aren’t you? Who else would stick up for this loser-thief? And make a reference to kicking a puppy? And it sounds like you would also condone kicking a puppy, you weak minded punk! The fact you even talk about kicking a puppy this is probably how you treat all animals. I’d like to kick your ass just for even mentioning kicking a puppy! You pathetic little pansy!

Ask GARCIA THE THIEF! How he really came up with My Name Is Earl?! Ask him where’s his copyright for My Name Is Earl? The one that he sent to the U.S. copyright office himself personally in his own name? He’ll tell you he doesn’t have a copyright for his so called original creation! Cause he never came up with the hit T.V. show in the first place! But ask him Hollywood, if you believe you’re not as corrupt as the world claims you are? Now Garcia has the audacity to say in an article from http://www.tvovermind.com/ new pilot, Keep Hope Alive. It’s kind of in the world that ‘Earl’ inhabited,” Garcia said. “The same type of people. And with ‘Yes, Dear,’ I enjoyed writing about families and raising children. So I came up with this idea, which in a way combines those two things. » – AstroJones Ya What a poor excuse of a writer who claims he’s comes up with original ideas! Garcia’s still leeching off My Name Is Earl’s concept to come up with his so called new TV show! Not to mention he has to use Yes Dears formula (which is so boring) as well to come up with something new! You can clearly see why Garcia has to rip of other writers.
Dave you were wrong about Fox they don’t care if they deal with thieves or not long as it keeps them alive. Ya 20th Century Fox! You go right ahead and stand behind a guy who clearly ripped off Mark Gable. Remember to set a great example for your children. Keep teaching your children well. Remember before you tuck them in at night. Remind them. Well little Timmy and little Sarah. It’s always better to steal from others. This will always keep your belly’s full. Who cares if you have to sell your soul to the devil. At least where full of ourselves!!!
And Garcia still has the audacity to incorporate My Name Is Earl with Yes Dear to come up with his new pilot. Keep Hope Alive. What a poor excuse of a writer who claims he’s comes up with original ideas! He’s still leeching off My Name Is Earl’s concept to come up with his so called new TV show! Not to mention he has to use Yes Dears formula (which is so boring) as well to come up with something new! You can clearly see why Garcia has to rip of other writers. By the way Garcia makes sure you tell your kids as well how to be good little thieves! And sell their soul to the devil! By the way Garcia makes sure you tell your kids as well how to be good little thieves! And sell their souls to the devil! Hey there’s a new idea for a show right there you thief! You should be able to finally write something that you know oh so well!
