Eastbound and Down [HBO] [** Spoilers **]

Bounty Hunter

I just voted in the TV awards threads and many of my votes were for this show i.e best new character is Kenny Powers by a mile, best Comedy i gave to this too and Katy Mixon mmm (see below), but nobody else has voted for it, and after a search i could find no thread on itso...

its a HBO comedy from none other than Adam McKay, Danny McBride and Will Ferell (who Cameos in a few eps as Ashley Schaffer the local BMW salesman).

its had one season and its been renewed for another already. Almost nobody i know has seen this show especially if they happen to not be American but its well worth checking out if you get the chance.

I guess a simplistic summary of what its like is one of Ferells sport movie characters (this time baseball) except in a TV series and not starring Ferell but Danny McBride as Kenny Mother Fcuking Powers!

here is just a lil taste

if that taster wasnt enough check this out, and if you watch the whole thing and dont think Kenny Powers is pure comic gold, then you sir deserve an Ashley Schaffer d!ck slappinTM

FestivalFox

I love east bound and down! It was my favorite show this year. Its been picked up for a second season. Can't wait!

I'd describe as OK to be honest..

.. I really didn't think it was all that well-written but Danny McBride is fantastic in it!

I've been told by a few people to check it out. its on my list.....

Yeah I watched it, I liked the character of Kenny Powers but the series didn't live up to my expectations. I felt it would have made a better film rather than a TV series.

I'm Kenny "fcukin" Powers. Great show.

thing is they pretty much never deliver the scripted lines, just ones that will move the conversation/show in the planned direction. Ive seen a few interviews and making of bits and recall McBride/ferell saying how great the script was then it cuts to writers and minor characters talking about how they pretty much only use the scripted lines once and the rest is improv stuff they come up with on the spot.

I've just discovered this show and am loving it.

Danny McBride one of the comedic talents around

Finished watching this last week. Can't believed I missed it for so long.

It's the funniest thing I've seen since Curb. It's absolutely superb, side-splittingly funny and has a little bit of a dark edge.

I read that HBO have commissioned a second series. Can't wait!

Dman001

Muh, I only watched the pilot and didn't think much of it. It's no surprise Will Ferrell is a writer for the show, it instantly reminded me of Talladega Nights.

smoochie06

Sorry to drag this up but does anyone know when season 2 starts and is FX showing it again.

I have to say for me its been the funniest show all year. Kenny is a legend.

This was one of my favourite parts. Kenny Powers "Work Drugs" Ecstacy Dance.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Only saw this show for the first time recently. It's brilliant.

A start date should be announced in the next few weeks... I'd imagine it'll be sometime between now and the end of April...

I only came around to this show last week. I really can't praise it highly enough. Instantly accessible, side splittingly funny, and has it has a dark streak. Fantastic stuff. Bring on season 2.

When is Season 2 starting on HBO?

I know its a marketing scam but some of the shows tweets are genius. http://twitter.com/k****ingp
