Eastbound & Down on HBO

I thought the Season Premiere last night was blah compared to Season 1 to be honest.

 

I, too, seem to have a love/hate relationship with the show. I'll be watching thinking "this is stupid shit" then the very next moment think "now that's some funny shit."

 

Loved season 1. Loved last night's episode. Shaping up to be a hell of a season, I think.

God, I hope the mexican midget sticks around. Looks like he's gone, though. Booooo.

 

He played all those oompah-loompahs in the Willy Wonka remake.

First episode just a set-up show to tell us what happened and what to look for. I'll give it a couple of more episodes before I bury it.

 

episode 1 ruled.

 

Finally just watched it. Good stuff. I loved Season 1 and was worried the whole Mexico thing wouldn't work, but after the first one things appear to be set in place well. The show is what it is, and nothing more. Danny McBride is hilarious. The "Kenny Powers" character is genius. I'm sure we'll see an episode as solid as the one with the cookout from last season soon enough. Anybody have any idea how many episodes the season is expected to go this time around?

 

I heard McBride say during a radio spot last week that last season was 6 eps and this season is 6 or 7. They want to keep 'em short so they can make more and more seasons. Short term, that blows. Long term, I suppose it's not a terrible approach.

 

The Hulk Hogan intro music was awesome.

 

Did it set up the rest of the season well?

 

I suspect the owner of that team runs one of the cartells.

 

The episode the other night was probably my second favorite behind the cookout from season 1. Just fantastic.

"Let's just say Seattle can tongue kiss my shithole."

"This is me every night, staring at buttholes, getting my buzz on."

"Get it all out baby. Get that return on your money."
