NBC’s “My Name Is Earl” has made its way to iTunes with full seasons and by-the-episode buys available.

According to an article in World Screen yesterday, the distribution deal between NBC and 20th Century Fox TV will also make the comedy a staple on sites like MySpace, CinemaNow and WalMart.com. There are also full episodes now available on NBC.com. Expect a commercial here and there in this streaming format, but the intrusion isn’t half bad.

In a joint statement, 20th Century Fox TV presidents Dana Walden and Gary Newman remarked: "My Name is Earl is a perfect comedy for the digital age—it's youthful, innovative and incredibly funny. Making a deal that extends the show's reach was important to both companies and will be a huge win for the show, for its fans and for the new viewers we'll recruit through these alternative platforms. We're thrilled to see it happen."

The People Choice Favorite New Television Comedy-winning show deals with redemption on a comedic level. It looks like a pretty nutty ride.
