Missed the Major Major Events (such as Miley Cyrus, then Beyoncé receiving the Video Vanguard award from Jay-Z and Blue Ivy), but here's seven minutes of commentary about what I did watch:

Perhaps MY NAME IS EARL doesn't need to be saved--campaign notwithstanding.
The Greg Garcia-created, Jason Lee/Ethan Suplee/Jamie Pressly-starring sitcom MY NAME IS EARL had a great first season--and became rather uneven in quality for its next three years on the air (see also MORK AND MINDY). Now, after the cancellation by NBC, there's an engineered save-EARL campaign to boost the show's chances of being picked up for Season 5 by either Fox or ABC: http://www.popeater.com/television/article/save-my-name-is-earl/493480
It's better that EARL drifts into the life-after-death of syndication/Hulu/DVD sales. And, like MORK AND MINDY and the Dwayne Hickman/Bob Denver DOBIE GILLIS, it can stand as an example of what happens when a show that's not broken gets fixed--with sometimes calamitous results.
