East Bound & Down

[M Sparks]

Anybody catch this new show after Flight Of The Conchords? I think it could go either way, but it definitely has some potential.

It's a little too close to the typical Will Ferrell "I'm an idiot, but I think I'm great" movie formula (Ferrell is a producer), but it's FAR more mean spirited and "edgy". Recommended for fans of "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia." I don't know why we don't see more black comedy on TV.

You're fuckin' out!

I thought the first show would be better, but I think it does have a lot of potential. I think they just had to spend a lot of time giving background and whatnot. It's a show I'll definitely make sure to catch once a week.

It has potential, Danny McBride is pretty funny. The first episode had several funny parts, but overall I thought the writing was pretty weak. It never progressed much beyond, I"m gonna cuss a lot, and yell while I'm doing it!!" I'll watch it a few more times though, I did laugh enough to give it a few more chances.

loved the im-jacking-off-now-im-jizzing-all-over-you dance move he busted out. it seemed like a movie to me at times, the way it was shot and the soundtrack.. i dont know. i liked it tho

[chithanh119]

I haven't seen this show yet

[jdaws]

maybe you could go watch it and THEN come back here and post something about it?

[Mr. Dylanja]

I thought last night's show was pretty funny. Taking ecstasy and then going to the school dance was awesome.

[sbessiso]

I haven't seen much of this show but it doesn't fit well after "FotC". I'd much rather watch some more Conchords (which is what I usually do)

Funny right after funny works for me. I'd rather have some variety. What WOULD fit after FotC in your opinion?

I think up until last week, they were rerunning Big Love right after. I like Big Love, but I'd rather see a comedy there. (I record Big Love and watch it later in the week.)

Damn, remember that awful Arliss show that was on for years...always came on right after something good.

MORE CONCHORDS!!!!!

[disgustipated]

loaded up and truckin'. we gonna do what they say can't be done...

[Mr. Dylanja]

we got a long way to go and a short time to get there...

[All Your Base]

I'm west bound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run.

Throwing up at the school dance was pretty awesome.

The ending was a little gay.

[C DUB YA]

I wanted it to be funnier - but it might get there once Will F shows up.

He was on last night.

He was on last night.

yeah i watched the oscars instead. I give it a go tonight.

[slurpee]

Sunday is now the best night of TV out there.

HBO is taking over.

Big Love, Flight of the Conchords, East Bound & Down....

[LooseAtTheZoo]

I'll Tivo it tonight, HBO reruns these things all the time.

[Sonicifyouwantit]

I'm lovin' it so far

[humanoid]

it is a funny premise, and McBride is a funny guy, but seriously, there is nothing about the writing of the show that makes me think it will stick around very long at all...

talented comedy writers could come up with this in about 10 minutes

Well, they should do it more often, because mostly they just take 5 minutes and crank out complete shit on TV.

you're right, apparently there aren't too many in existence

[humanoid]

on another note, I really wish they wouldn't show him throwing a baseball so closely...I know it's a comedy, but watching him try to pitch, he looks absolutely retarded

That's kind of the point.

Ep #3 veered a little bit too sentimental (I actually said "awwww" at the end when the bat was unwrapped), but still, I love watching Kenny turning the gay retarded music teacher to the dark side.

Also, loved the toilet seat..."Pitch one in like Kenny Powers".

[TheColdWorld]

I know you hated that bird bath that's why I hit it

[LooseAtTheZoo]

My Tivo is broken so I haven't been able to watch this show or any others.

I know it probably FEELS like you can't watch TV without a DVR, but it is possible.
