Eastbound & Down on HBO

Danny McBride is on ESPN 1000 right now in Chicago. It's on espnchicago.com, probably podcasted later.

 

Good episode tonight. Riding in on the donkey, giving the manager the finger in front of the office window, trashing the studio, shooting the soccer ball, then throwing the gun into the stands, lots of funny shit.
I have a feeling if Sebastian made his money the way I think he did, Kenny might be in some trouble in a few episodes.

 

Just finished watching the last two episodes. This show is so fucking awful it needs to be canceled right now.

 

Yup, it's gone off the rails.

I don't understand why they messed with the winning formula of the first season. His whole existence in Mexico is beyond boring and the writing is just terrible.

 

I still enjoy this show. Not as much as Season 1, though. Loved Don Johnson's character. Thought he nailed it. Also loved Stevie's jail cell scene. Hysterical.

 

I kept thinking to myself "Why doesn't someone just put a bullet in Kenny's head and take everyone (viewers included) out of their misery?"

 

Anyone see last night's Season 3 premiere?

I know it's all the same type of humor, but I loved it. Adding Jason Sudeikis to the cast was a genius move, and I love that Myrtle Beach is the setting.

 

Great episode. A new No. 2 ep behind the BBQ from season 1.

There'd better be a movie after this season.

 

I keep asking myself why I keep watching this shit show, but I watch it every week. It's 29:30 of crap and :30 of funny as hell. Oh, and titties from time to time.

 

Pretty much agree with this. Opening episode was insipid. Who didn't see the baby being left with Kenny from the start? Oldest plot device in TV ... and babies on TV are show killers!

Kenny Powers is so unlikeable, the show needs to be cringe-worthy or funny. It was neither in S3E1.

 

I disagree. I see Kenny's story as that of a raging Christ figure who tore himself off the cross and looked around at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said, "My turn now, cocksuckers."
