TBS and 20th Century Fox cannot reach agreement on 'Earl'

Although TBS and 20th Century Fox were in talks to save 'My Name is Earl' from cancellation, it is not going to happen.

20th Century Fox Television released the following statement today...

"Greg Garcia's brilliant My Name is Earl kept America laughing for the past four seasons and certainly deserved to continue for many more. 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."

I really don't think this is bad news. 'Earl' was a show whose time had come. It had really run its course. Although, so has 'Scrubs' and that's coming back.
