Eastbound & Down on HBO

another great episode. awesome hour of comedy with this and conchords. i'm fucking in, you're fucking out.

 

Just watched No. 2. I'll allow that some people find this to be their brand of comedy. It's not mine.

 

Shotty, Jay, Ragu, glad it's not just me.

I'll leave it on the DVR for one more week.

Ragu's point about it not being near good enough to draw an HBO Sunday night slot is well taken.

 

You are right.... on every point.

 

The second episode was awful. The best part of the first episode was the beginning when they were showing him self-destruct. That would have been a better way to do the series. Show him self-destructing rather than the aftermath.

 

Story I read said Shelby County. No such county in NC but there is a town of Shelby.

Kenny reminds me of the Bandit character in Smokey and the Bandit.

 

Holy shit. Did you ever watch that film?

He has none of the panache or charm of Burt Reynolds in that role.

 

He's more Buford T. Justice than the Bandit.

 

Hey, Kenny? You're fucking out of my DVR list.

Three strikes, and all.

 

I was thinking more of the ego, like when he attacked the gas station attendant who called him "one of the great assholes of the 20th century."

 

Geez, man, I never thought that Bandit's ego manifested itself like that at all.

But, as Zeke said... he's fucking out.
