Ardent fans of US comedy My Name Is Earl have come out in protest of the recent decision to axe the show by launching a Twitter petition.

At present there are precisely 7,879 people supporting the ‘ EarlTwitition’ but I’m not sure that’s gonna be enough to save the show which lost millions of viewers during its last season.

So what about you guys? Any MNIE fans out there? Bet you’re a sad sack today
