Eastbound & Down on HBO

If it wasn't a body double, they'd have shown her face.

The season finale left me a little curious, emphasis on a little.

 

this is great news. more eastbound = more gooder.

 

Just watched the first three episodes (courtesy of Netflix) last night. Damn funny show, and I'll be watching the rest of season one and anticipating Season 2.

Kenny Powers is a mix of John Kruk, John Rocker and my friend Troy.

I really need to pick up HBO on my cable plan.

 

Watched the final three episodes of the first season last night. I can't remember laughing any more -- EVER -- than I did during the BBQ at the principal's house. I was in tears the whole episode. My wife looked on in horror.

Kenny Powers could be the best TV character since Al Bundy. That guy fucking nails it.

 

Just finished episode three right now on DVD (borrowed from a friend who thinks it's great). Kenny started to show a few human traits at the end of this episode, but it's still not very good if you ask me (I know ... you didn't ).

As others have said, there's little to nothing to like about Kenny as a person. And the idea that Katy Mixon would fall for him (although, her having bought the bat was a nice touch plot-wise) based on his behavior since returning is simply ludicrous.

I hear everyone rave about Curb, but I can't stand Larry David -- at least his character. What an asshole. Because of that I don't watch that show, either.

 

I agree with every word of this. There were times where Kenny seemed to have feelings, but then he went back to being a prick. But Katy Mixon almost makes the show worth watching.
And Larry David is an asshole in his show too. This type of TV does not really appeal to me, which is the main reason I can't stand House. If that dickhead was my doctor, I'd definitely be requesting a transfer to another hospital.

 

The show will return Feb. 19 ...

You're fuckin out!

 

Is there anywhere online to watch it if you don't have HBO? Dammit. I need HBO.

 

OK it's back on, but pretty much completely blown up...

TV Review: HBO’s Daring ‘Eastbound & Down’ Returns For Second Season

http://www.hollywoodchicago.com/news/11935/tv-review-hbo-s-daring-eastbound-down-returns-for-second-season

 

Did anybody see it? I kind of had a love/hate relationship with the show. I think it has the potential to be great, but as a whole has been mediocre. I still think the only reason it got a second season is because HBO is afraid to piss off Will Ferrell and Adam McKay (producers).
