Season 2

Season 2 of My Name is Earl began in September 2006 on NBC, and concluded in May 2007. The season featured Earl completing more points on his list and taking the heat for a crime Joy committed, forcing him to serve time in jail.

The second season was released on DVD on September 25, 2007, just after the premiere of Season 3.

Season overview[]

The second season revolves around Earl continuing to cross items off his List to help make himself become a better person. Midway through the season he and Randy end up in Mexico to help save Catalina who was deported, which ends with Randy and Catalina marrying. Meanwhile, Joy faces several years in prison after hijacking a truck with a man accidentally locked inside. The very real possibility of her being sent to jail is quashed when Earl confesses to her crime, saying that it was he who stole the truck, and is thereby sentenced to two years in prison.
