[edit] Copyright Violations in Season 2 Overview

All the episode overviews for Season 2 have been copied from TV.com My Name is Earl episode guide. This clearly violates TV.com Terms Of Use. VillaFan 05:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and removed the content leaving a basis for the overviews to be rewritten. In future we ask users not to copy and paste TV.com summaries to Wikipedia. Thank You VillaFan 06:09, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Break up the page

Should this page be broken up, so that each episode has its own page, and this page just has a little info and link to the episode, like the pages for The Simpsons, Family Guy and South Park? JQF 16:39, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, if the individual episodes are analyzed in greater detail. If short plot summaries are is far as it goes then this article will be big enough at the end of Season One, and a new one should be started for Season Two. — RandallJones 21:42, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Ok, started the ball rolling, creating individual pages and moving info. JQF 04:47, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Alright, created templates, put info on pages (used synopsis from NBC.com for those without decent/limited info on this page), info needs to be cut down on this page, and the episode pages need to be edited to a more professional standard. I'll leave that to the rest of you. JQF 06:14, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Episode Pages

Hey, MNIE fans! The following episode pages have NO info on them:

• Randy's Touchdown
• Faked His Own Death
• Cost Dad the Election
• Stole P's HD Cart
• Monkeys In Space

So be a fan, and help update them! JQF 03:09, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Two down, three to go! Lets keep it up! JQF 15:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Monkeys in Space?

Can anybody explain the title? I couldn't figure out how it fit into the episode? Might be an interesting fact for the page. -- MisterHand 06:27, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what it's suppost to mean (but it is the real title). It might be a refference to something like Monkey Wrenchs, that using Monkey's in science experiments (like sending them into space) was their first widly documented job, it may be an in joke for somebody at MNIE, or it may just be some random title ment to keep us (the viewers) occupied while they make the next episode.

[edit] Episode article names

I propose we name all new episode articles with a disambiguator included even when not technically necessary, for example all Episode Title (My Name Is Earl) or even Episode Title (My Name Is Earl episode). This appears to be standard practice with other TV series any time an episode name collides with another article, as Monkeys in space recently did for us, so why not just be explicit for all the episodes? I looked here and here and here but as far as I can tell no WP:MoS standard for episode article naming has been established. Comment? —RandallJones 06:52, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

That would be a good idea, but how about we shorten it to be Episode Title (MNIE), or something like that, just so that the title doesn't get to long. After all, some titles are items off The List, and those can get long. JQF 15:51, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

There are naming conventions about this issue. please take them under consideration - The DJ 23:49, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Airdates

Is it really necessary to mention the UK airdates? In my eyes anything other then "Original airdates" is useless, because when we start naming them for one country we open the door for all 162 countries. In my eyes it doesn't contribute to the articles. It would be different if the show was originally French for instance. Or if the list of this US show was on the Dutch wikipedia. But for UK vs. US, i simply cannot be bothered beyond original airdates. What can be done in my eyes is to mention when the season was broadast in the uk. Like "Season 1 was broadcasted in the UK from 8 december 2006 untill 16 july 2006". - The DJ 23:55, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quit Smoking

For some reason the episode guide on the side of the episode description for episodes links to an article on quiting smoking, not to the episode Quit Smoking. Quit Smoking is only linked from here. I would fix it, but am unsure of how.  :(

[edit] Air Dates

I think the air dates in the ep list are getting to be to much. Should all the air dates but the first be moved into the respective episode article? JQF 16:00, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is standard to only list the air date of the originating country. You are the second person to mention this. Feel free to delete the UK and AUS times. — Scm83x ^{hook 'em} 16:18, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
