1/10. White trash meets Eastern spiritualism. Mad Magazine described the show this way in their satire of it and it fits nicely. Despite having some moments of humor it's all boring and too preachy at times. We grow bored soon knowing Earl's going to do something good by the end of each episode. I couldn't honestly believe a white trash guy would suddenly buy into something so out of his depth. The rest aren't better ranging from dumb as all get out to slutty to one even being an illegal alien. Ha, ha. A real barrel of laughs this show.

Police officer: It's police policy not to waste resources looking for a missing person in the first 24 hours because they usually show up on their own, and after 24 hours, if they're still missing, it usually means they're dead and we don't look for them that hard then either.
Trivia: Most of Catalina's speeches in Spanish (the ones that are not translated) are actually actress Nadine Velasquez speaking to the camera, addressing the viewers. For example, in episode 1-11 (Barn Burner), although it appears that she is throwing insults at Joy, she is actually saying "I want to take this moment to thank our Latino audience for watching. And for those of you who can understand me but who are not Latino, I want to commend you for learning a second language".

Answer: The premise of the show is he atones for mistakes he did in the past. Winning a car for Joy probably atones for something he did wrong regarding her in the past.
