Eastbound and Down (HBO series)

[Bikeage77]

Has anyone else seen this? It's only 6 episodes this season but it's hilarious and produced by Will Ferrell.

 

The premise is of a Mitch Williams/John Rocker type character now out of the bigs. You can find it on Surfthechannel.com

I liked it and look forward to another season

His catch phrase is great. I like it when they are showing his career highlights and he is done in Atlanta and in his presser he says "I done with Atlanta, you know what Atlanta (insert inappropriate catch phrase here)."

Love it! A few weeks back watched all 6 episodes in a row on-demand and just thought it was hilarious. Can't wait for season 2.

Love the show too. Good news. The show got picked up for a second season.

Funny show. They left us hanging after the last episode so I'm glad they got picked up for at least one more season. I wonder how they are going to set him up coming back to town?

This is one of my favorites, doesn't get much better than that. I love the name of his inspirational tape.

Great show but I think it will be interesting to see how much longer they can go with this.

I seen this in some article I read and I agreed. The writer said they should go Ricky Gervais style with it. Go 2 seasons and a series finale. That would be perfect.

I've only seen parts of a few episodes, but it looks pretty good as far as mindless comedies with lots of cursing goes. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

This show was recommended to me and I watched all six episodes, but I honestly think I laughed twice the entire series. The whole BBQ scene was funny, and the unexpected ending of the second car dealership showdown was nice as well. But yeah..not my cup of tea I guess.

I loved what I have seen so far. I cracked up at the part of him in the school's showers drinking a beer and having that ridiculous tan line. I also liked his comment about New York and what he thought of San Fransisco. Very Rockerish.

 

By request I made a Yo shirt featuring said slogan which isn't really appropriate for this board.

If people like Danny McBride, aside from his roles in Tropic Thunder & Pineapple Express, be sure to check out The Foot Fist Way (also produced by Ferrell & Adam McKay). It's not what you'd expect per se... it's almost filmed at times like a mockumentary, though it's just a comedy/drama. Not drop-dead hilarious, but very well-acted & written. McBride is really, really good.

 

Eastbound & Down sounds like something I'll really enjoy. Thanks for the tip. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

If anyone is interested season 1 is coming out on DVD this Tuesday 6/30. Can't wait.

Got my hands on a pre-street copy... really looking forward to watching this tonight.
