In the "Bad Karma" minisode, should Catalina's illegal immigrant status have kept her from receiving the lottery winnings when she couldn't win a local contest for a car in another episode?

Finished my marathon
I finished my marathon of My Name is Earl and I gotta say it was very good. Shame it ended on a cliffhanger. I wish we’d of gotten a season 5 but due to FOX and NBC disagreeing we never got it. Aw well at least I enjoyed it while it lasted.

Why I Like This Show
Earl makes numerous promises while in jail to allow his friend to earn merit badges and a sash. During a meal, Earl asks aloud if any inmates had been a scoutmaster. At least six raised a hand! Witty, which includes social commentary. That humors me. And also the musical interludes such as tonite with Keith Richards' guitar during Sympathy for the Devil. Great pairing of music in every episode.

When did this happen?
So, I'm rewatching My Name is Earl for the... idk how many times, but I noticed something. In Episode 3, Randy's touchdown, Joy spray painted "U R an ASS" on Earl's car. But then after he confronts her, it gets changed to "U R an ASSTRONUGHT" which is supposed to be "You're an asstronaut" so my question is, when exactly did Joy do this? After Earl confronts her, he presumably heads straight to the pawnshop to get his Grandfather's clock, so when exactly did Joy spray paint his car again? Or is this an error of some kind?

I watched the alternate pilot! Post contains spoilers.
So, I was on the wiki looking for a specific episode that I couldn't remember the name of, when I saw the name of an episode I'd never heard of. It was called "Bad Karma". Upon further inspection, Bad Karma is actually an alternate version of the pilot, where instead of learning about Karma from Carson Daily, he flips the channel and learns about revenge from Stewie Griffin on Family guy. So, Earl makes a list of everyone who has ever wronged him, and I noticed some cool parallels.
In the pilot, after Earl tells Randy about his list of bad things, Randy points out "Peed in the back of a cop car" and Earl responds with "I'm no longer proud of that." In the alternate pilot, the list item is "Cop hit me for peeing in the back of his car" and when Randy points it out, Earl responds with "I just sat there and took it like a punk. I'm no longer proud of that." The list Earl uses is also the original list prop I believe, because there's already things crossed off of it, and it's ripped and tattered.
I'm not sure when the Alternate pilot was created, but I believe it was filmed after the originally series ended. My only reasoning for that is that the actors seem a little older than they did when the actual pilot was filmed.
Earl also gives Randy a bottle of Vicodin that the hospital gave him after he got hit by a car, which is absent from the original pilot.
All in all, I highly recommend the alternate pilot, it's really good, and it's interesting to see what the show could've been like if Earl had learned about revenge instead of Karma.

My Name is Earl is an imperfectly perfect masterpeice
The show was imperfectly perfect. I’ve watched it twice and now I'm on my third rewatch and I just can’t get enough! I watched Raisning Hope which was funny I admit, but it didn’t have the same charm My Name Is Earl does. Almost all the characters in Earl are written in such a way that they’re deeply flawed, but you grow to love them (except for Billie. Billie is an opp). Every time I watch the show, I hate Joy at first, but by the later part of season 2 and early season 3, I fall in love with her character. She has a great arc where I mean She's still the greedy, trailer-trash jerk she’s been in the show, but somehow, you learn to find her charm in all of that. Sure, I don’t enjoy when the show goes in mutiple episode story arcs because I think they really nailed the main focus. It’s truly a show about redemption and relationships, told in such a flawed and funny way that you can’t help but adore it! Honestly, I’d put it above every other sitcom I’ve ever watched and I’m a sitcom junkie. Earl has this unique appeal that I dread could never be re-created.

What is your favorite lesson or moral that you found from the show?
I don’t see this being mentioned a lot but I feel that the show is more than just a sitcom and there are more themes to it. The main overarching theme is that Earl is trying to makeup for the wrongs that he did and if you do good then good things will come to you, but each episode I feel is more than just a TV episode, it actually has a moral to the story or theme. I find that a lot of the themes of the episode or show come from Earl’s monologue at the end of the episodes. I can’t recall which episode but Earl basically says that it’s good to do good things, which one of Earl’s lessons or episode themes is your favorite?

Why does this show never stick to its development?
First it was him getting his ged, apartment and job and then all that coma shit for him to find love with billie only for it to be shut down within a few episodes. I don’t understand how the show is so renowned when this shit is so annoying? Am i missing something?

Karma really wanted them to be friends
I rewatched this show after a while of not seeing it and it just stuck me how they were just destined to be in each other lives. Since without earl: joy wouldn’t have dodge or marry him to meeting Darnell or finding out Randy was skipper her first love. Even Randy wouldn’t have seen/met Catalina if they didn’t hid in the store for Y2K or living at the motel it just like karma made it to where they would same be in each other lives no matter what feelings they have towards each other.

Hidden Jokes in the Margins: How My Name Is Earl Rewarded HDTV Viewers
My Name Is Earl was filmed in a 16:9 aspect ratio, which was relatively uncommon for TV shows at the time, as most households still owned 4:3 standard definition televisions.
For the majority of viewers with 4:3 TVs, the show appeared in a cropped format, displaying only the central portion of the image. However, those with HDTVs were treated to an extra layer of humor.
In the widescreen 16:9 version, the producers cleverly hid additional jokes and gags in the unused portions of the frame that weren’t visible in the 4:3 broadcast. These hidden gems were often subtle and quirky, rewarding viewers who had access to the full widescreen experience with easter eggs that added to the show’s charm.
This creative decision showcased the producers attention to detail and their commitment to making My Name Is Earl a uniquely entertaining show for all audiences.

Am I dreaming this? Was there or was there not an episode where he played a side character? And if it exists could someone please let me know what episode it was or maybe I am thinking of another show 🤔
