Part One of Three
zsenorsock1 December 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Trying to make up to Kenny (Gregg Binkley) for stealing his lunches when they were growing up, Earl discovers Kenny has broken up with his boyfriend. Kenny complains since "Brokeback Mountain" guys want more macho guys and asks Earl to help him be more masculine. He learns to dress like Earl, act like Earl, and unfortunately in the process becomes a compulsive gambler and loses everything he owns. Strangely enough, this scenario leads to Catalina being deported and begins a three episode run in which Earl and Randy try and get her back.

Another very funny episode about the people in Camden. Earl and Randy are very funny trying to understand Kenny's life; Randy has some great moments as he tries to prepare for a date with Catalina and Joy has another hilarious meeting with her deaf lawyer and her assistant. Jason Lee has some great moments where he actually gets to drive the action (instead of just observing other people's odd antics) as he finds weirder and weirder things to bet on.

This show continues to be the most solid comedy on television.
