  • Wrong air date for Season 4

    I do not believe the next season started last night. What I read on IMDB was that they were starting filming in May, so it may possibly air later this year.

    This is a great show as long as you know it is a show that is made to make you laugh. Take it seriously and you wont like it. Bottom line is that the lead character is an ass and it shows. He doesn't really learn anything and is a blowhard. If anything I like to see his failures instead of his wins. In saying so it is funny and you may like it but it could that like could be very mixed in it's initial reception.moreless

    This show is hilarious, seriously one of the best on TV. It's for a certain sense of humor, it's meant to be outlandish and crass at times. If it's your type of humor , if you get it, it's brilliant and beyond funny. If you like Will Ferrell, you would most likely enjoy this show.



    The writing is great, and there are many quotable lines to have fun with. I also think the characters and storyline are well done. As obnoxious and dumb as Kenny is, I've ended up kind of taking a shine to him. He does say a lot of funny stuff and beneath that egotistical, clueless exterior lies a heart of gold. :)moreless
  • One of TV's finest shows.

    It is difficult to define, precisely, what seperates an average comedy show from a superb one. One might initially suggest it is simply the better jokes: zingy one liners that keep the viewers coming back for more. To me, a great comedy show must do more than simply use itself in a sitcom-style platform of the same grind episode after episode with jokes being pushed in at every opportunity. A great comedy show is about more than simply making jokes: it's about maximizing the humor by using the previous context of the characters and story events (as seen in shows such as The Office) while simultaneously developing an actual story which progresses from episode to episode. Eastbound and Down does exactly this, providing hilarious scenarios wrapped around an entertaining plot of former major league baseball player Kenny Powers as he battles between accepting a return to 'normal life', and struggling to break free from it. This show, simply put, is as funny as it is entertaining to watch the story unfold. Every episode delivers, which is more than can be said for 99% of shows currently on television, and it currently stands as one of television's best shows. You need to watch it - period.moreless
