'My Name Is Earl' might see new life on TBS


June 08, 2009 TBS is in preliminary talks to order 13 new episodes of the single-camera comedy from 20th Century Fox TV, sources said. The news comes a couple of weeks after NBC pulled the plug on the 4-year-old series starring Jason Lee in what became one of the highest-profile cancellations of the upfront season. Early speculation included 20th TV's sister network Fox, whose entertainment president Kevin Reilly launched "Earl" while at NBC, and ABC, which has been open to acquiring series that have aired on other networks.
