My Name is Earl · S1, E9
Cost Dad an Election
Earl sets out to mend his relationship with his father Carl by trying to cross number four off of his list: "blew dad's chance to be elected mayor." Four years prior, Carl ran for mayor to oppose the other candidate's plan to redirect aeroplane traffic away from the affluent part of town and towards Carl's neighbourhood. A misunderstanding caught on tape was broadcast as the opposing candidate's campaign commercial.
