Location
My Name Is Earl is set in fictional Camden County. Creator Greg Garcia says:
| “ | The show doesn’t technically take place anywhere....we like to think it’s anywhere. We don’t really say exactly where it is. | ” |
On episode Inside Probe (Part 2), Earl hints at a general location by saying, "I guess we are in the central time zone." The show is filmed in the San Fernando Valley, in Southern California. On the last DVD, in reply to a viewer's question, Greg Garcia admits that Camden is loosely modeled on Waldorf, Maryland.
