MY NAME IS EARL: The Magic Hour

Channel 4

Series four kicks off with a double bill. Joy's latest con reminds Earl of a wish he stole from a dying child named Buddy. So, ten years on, he visits the kid's mother, only to find out that Buddy (guest star Seth Green) is very much alive, and wants Earl to help him produce a movie. In the second programme, combing through the past makes Earl think of #87 on his list, "chased away Mum and Dad's friends". So he and Randy visit their parents to bring back their old friends. But they soon realise that back then a lot more was going on than children's eyes can see.
