So, this looks like the end of My Name is Earl – what was a glimmer of hope from TBS to pick up the canceled Earl has now been squelched. The TBS deal has fallen through and now My Name is Earl fans will never know what happens when Earl gets through that list!

20th Century Fox released this statement:

“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.”
