Both shows proved a network sitcom could be both good and popular. Each show had a distinctive voice: on Earl, that of a good-at-heart petty crook (Jason Lee) trying to make his life right, on Chris, the hard-edged nostalgia of narrator Chris Rock, looking back on his childhood in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.

They will sell only shows produced by their parent companies (including, for NBC, shows on sister cable channels USA and Sci Fi), because negotiations with outside producers would require haggling over fees.
