Have had a number of conversations with people about Earl of late – probably at least in part due to frustration about missing it this week when Sky was down. There is a consistent agreement that the Way of Randy is a reassuring and calming path to walk. Although I always bring it up as a joke to explain to people what the show is and why I like it, a remakarable proportion of the people I’ve mentioned it to who enjoy the show have developed their own empathy for Randy.

What a guy.
