Quotes:
[Joy has stolen a truck from the Bargain Bag store because they wouldn't refund her $3000]
Earl:
[horrified] Stole a truck?!
Joy:
[adamant] Because they wouldn't give me my money back! It was a crime of principal like when Rosa Parks stole that bus!
Earl:
They wouldn't even give you a store credit?
Joy:
No.
Earl:
That doesn't seem fair.
Joy:
Thank you! Which is why you have to help me sell the truck.
Earl:
Sell the truck... Joy, that's against the law.
Joy:
Earl, this is not about the law. It's about right and wrong, and isn't that what your list is about, rights and wrongs? Doing unto others all that Robin Hood/Batman/Jesus stuff?
Earl:
Well you got a good point. The store DID do you wrong. I don't know if Jesus or Batman would sell a truck, but Robin Hood might. Okay, I'll do it. But you're not getting a penny more than three thousand dollars.

In the UK, we're an incredible 9 months behind the USA and it's seemed an age for this second season to hit these shores. After a long wait, the opening episode is something of an anticlimax.
The beautiful Jaime Pressly delights as Joy Turner, a woman who can pull the most outrageous expressions (which are captured in freeze-frame at appropriate moments), and Jason Lee is always spot-on with his comic delivery. I think this episode failed to really hit the mark due to a relatively poor script. And, to be honest, I missed the presence of the exquisite Nadine Velazquez.
7 out of 10. Not a great start to the season but I'm confident things will improve as the show progresses.
