The List

From My Name Is Earl Wiki

The list

Earl's List is a List created by Earl Hickey after he discovered the concept of karma. Whilst watching "Last Call with Carson Daly" whilst in hospital, Earl learned that when you do good things, good things will happen to you. He wrote down everything wrong he did in his life and started to make up for all the mistakes he had made ("Pilot").

As of the end of the series, Earl has completed at least 95 of the 277 items on the List.

[edit] Statistics

[edit] Season 1

In Pilot, Earl made a List of 259 numbered items, but in five episodes Earl added one item each, in one episode he added two, and in another his father added one, bringing the count to 267. However, Earl uses #260 on two different occasions, so the total was only up to 266. As of the end of Season 1, Earl has so far completed 36 items, unsuccessfully attempted five, been absolved for two, started work on two items, and intends to leave one permanently unresolved as a reminder, leaving 221 items outstanding.

[edit] Season 2

As of GED, Earl had completed 57 items, unsuccessfully attempted five, been absolved for at least nine (with the total amount unknown because in The Birthday Party everyone at Earl's party crossed an item off as a present), started work on two items, and intended to leave one permanently unresolved as a reminder, leaving a maximum of 199 items outstanding. Earl added one to the list in three episodes, and four to the list in another, bringing the total to 273.

[edit] Season 3

Earl began a new list in prison, in absence of his original one. This list is written on the back of his pillow, and only has four items, one of which is "Wrote on a pillow". After Earl escaped prison and fell into a coma, Randy, Joy, and Darnell started crossing items off of his list in the hopes of waking Earl from his coma. It worked, and Earl resumed crossing items off himself. By the end of Season 3 Earl had completed 66 items, been absolved for at least ten, attempted five, started three and intended to leave one permanently unresolved as a reminder, leaving a maximum of 194 items.

Whilst in his coma Randy addeded several ridiculous items to the List, such as "Never bought Randy a ferrari", which Earl likely discounted.

[edit] Season 4

Earl crossed off #47, #72, #87, #94 and #231, as well as another three items in The Magic Hour, We've Got Spirit Little Bad Voodoo Brother. He left on #7 in Sweet Johnny as a permanent reminder. He added #276 in Nature's Game Show, which he then crossed off, and #277 in Pinky which he also crossed off.
