i can't think of more pitch perfect casting that jamie preston as his ex-wife

Yeah...it's really well-cast all the way around.

I loved the bit in last week's show where Earl was relieved to find out his brother had been clipping his toes while he slept, cuz he was afraid that they'd stopped growing.

I edited the hell outta this, to keep it more on-topic & to include the "Scrubs" info.

i just read an old interview with jason lee in which he was quoted "what if someone said, 'we'll give you $25 million to do, say, cannonball run vi'? that's the stuff i think about. and i'd say, 'i wouldn't do it.'"

but you'll do the chipmunks movie?

Dude was in the "Underdog" movie too, I think.
