There are guest stars and then there are Guest Stars on a weekly television show. I am not sure where Paris Hilton fell in the range of guest stars when she appeared in last weeks newest episode of My Name is Earl. Although touted as a full-fledged guest on the show, Paris appeared for what seemed like 15 seconds and said "that's hot" three times. Now I love this show (Jaime Pressly in particular) but what an absolutely ridiculous publicity stunt to get people to watch. Plus the show already had Alyssa Milano guesting and for most men that is enough.
Anyway, the show began with Earl and Billie (Milano) laying on the road after both being hit by a car. Actually before the show began the President of NBC, Jeff Zucker, tried to give a funny recap of what had been happening with the show (yeah it wasn't funny) and then the show began. Randy tries to save Earl and finally they end up at the hospital and Earl will not wake up. After appearing to be no more than an organ donor, Earl begins to show some life when Randy and the others begin to cross things off the list.
I am glad to see the shows returning with a little life (no pun intended) after the writers strike. However there is no need for stupid, vapid, non-talented (Hilton if you did not know) guest stars that add nothing to the storyline of a particular show. My Name is Earl is fabulous without adding unnecessary people to the show. Remember that!
