  Good god y'all. My Name Is Earl (Channel 4, Thursday, 10pm) continues to be brilliantly brilliant. Shifting from pure slapstick to thoughtful word play, ...Earl still manages to make me grin like the village idiot who has just found himself in the pig pen with no trousers on. In fact, last night, the show managed to surprise me with a great little

  Even though it annoys the hell out of me when imported shows have a Christmas edition in the middle of summer over here, that shouldn't stop you watching a Yule filled My Name Is Earl (Channel 4, Thursday, 10pm). So, with Chrimble in the air we find Earl is busy preparing 274 baloney sandwiches to make up for all the lunches he stole from his

  Just like Mof, my eyes were opened to the delights of Saxondale on Thursday. I'd caught the first episode of the first series but wasn't overly impressed (perhaps my expectations were too high, seeing as though Mr. Coogan's involved) and I didn't watch anything of the rest of the run. But it seems I was too hasty in my assessment, as I really

  Just as I was saying how great Thursdays were for comedy, Channel 4 go and shunt the preposterously great My Name Is Earl off to E4, leaving those without digiboxes without one of the best shows on TV. So, for those with only the five channels who want a laugh, I'll direct you to BBC2. Following the cracking Mock The Week (BBC2, Thursday, 9pm) is

  Every Friday, I look through the listings to pick out the cream of the weekend viewing. Today is Friday. Let's have a look at the cream of the weeke... oh you get the picture already. Friday - My Name Is Earl, Channel, 10.35pm Back in its rightful place of Friday night, My Name is Earl continues to be a rarity in modern TV... namely, something

• Channel 4 announce winter programmes... and it's cookery galore

  Published: November 22, 2007, 6:56 am

  You know what I was thinking just the other day? I thought "There really isn't enough cookery shows on TV". Nope. Five thousand shows a week just isn't enough. So you can imagine how happy I was when I heard that Channel 4 are pledging to try out "new ideas" in the key 9pm slot as it unveiled its winter schedule yesterday... which means... you

  Okay. It's the second phase of the TVScoop Top 50... of course, we're looking at our favourite shows of 2007 as opposed to Top 50 TV haircuts or something (at any rate, Kim from How Clean Is Your House would win that hands down). So far, we've had Charlie Brooker's Screen Wipe, Oz & James's Big Wine Adventure and more. So what comes above? As
