My Name is Earl

There's this particularly interesting teevee show that starts off with
"You know that guy you see, when you stop off at the convenience store in that little town on the way to Grandma's house? Sort of shifty looking fella who buys a packet of smokes, a couple-a lotto tickets and a 'Tall Boy' at 10 AM in the morning? The kind of guy you wait to come out before you and your family go in? Well... that's me. My name is Earl."

Earl is this jobless ne'er-do-well guy with no respect for authority or just about anyone, and he prefers driving cars to bikes. But he then turns to reforming himself and goes about 'undoing' all the harm he's done in his life, all the while, crossing off those things from his 'list'. Still prefers the car.

Now that you've got the basic plot of a show that you've seen a hundred times on the telly, i'll pitch in a couple of words for Earl:

"Earl: He'd a vision"

Thought this might look interesting here...

Earl: Do good things and good things happen to you. Do bad things, they'll come back to haunt you.
Randy: That's deep Earl, so why don't you stop hoggin' those vicodins they gave you and we can all chat about that for awhile?
Earl: I’m talking bout karma.
Randy: Who's karma?
Earl: I don't know, just something Carson Daly came up with.
Catalina: Who is this Carson Daly. Some sort of spiritual leader? A holy man?
Randy: You mean you've never watched TRL? You need to turn on a television when you're scrubbing the toilets.
