Where does My Name Is Earl take place?

Question

With mention of Camden and Medford, it could be New Jersey. But it doesnt seem likely cause the scenes are always in a sunny area, like a desert..

Answer 1

I would also like to know the same thing... but at one point they mentioned a town in North Carolina... and Joy does have a southern accent in the show. Who knows???

Answer 2

"The show takes place in the fictional town of Camden County (not to be confused with the actual Camden Counties in New Jersey, Missouri, Georgia, and North Carolina). Creator Garcia said that the town is named after his son. The references to Maryland locations (such as Hagerstown, Cumberland, and Frostburg State University) are due to his familiarity with an area he hails from, and that "the show doesn’t technically take place anywhere ... we like to think it’s anywhere. We don’t really say exactly where it is", although the accents and lifestyles of many of the characters suggests a setting in the south of the USA."

Answer 3

"Camden county must be in Maryland. in the episode where earl stole beer from a golfer, Randy went to Hagerstown to find the lost dog. and in the same show earl said he caught up with the fair to rent the trans am near cumberland. these are to cities not too far from each other in maryland "

Answer 4

i've heard one of the actors mention that the location is non-specific. that means it's no one particular town or state. although the ex wife does have a southern accent.
