MEAN and MASSIVE

With the recent announcement from HBO about the renewal of their comedy Eastbound & Down for a fourth season, the show fans may wonder what an additional season would be like. Indeed, the third season ended in such a way that would make a great series finale – only the series creators, star Danny McBride, [...]

I hear that HBO is ordering a fourth season of the Danny McBride comedy, Eastbound & Down. The late renewal of the politically-incorrect comedy comes a day after the official announcement from the cable network about the renewal of vampire drama True Blood and the new Aaron Sorkin show, The Newsroom. Although Eastbound & Down‘s [...]

Boy am I happy to write this post today. I’ve been away for some time now, and this is wonderful news to come back to. Premiere dates always give me something to wait for, and although I didn’t like too much any of the new 2011 fall series, the winter ahead looks almost sparkling. Eastbound [...]

Kenny Powers (Danny McBride), the character from HBO’s comedy Eastbound & Down, is taking over K Swiss, in this funny – and uncencored – commercial. As for E&D, the show’s third season will premiere on HBO later this year. As it was revealed in this year’s Paley Fest, this will probably be the last season [...]

SEB: tca awards nominees Later this summer we will hear what the Television Critics Association loved most this year. This year’s TCA Awards would be hosted by Parks and Recreation‘s Ron Swanson – Nick Offerman (so no matter what the critics chose, it’s going to be a hell of an event). A group of around [...]

SEB: Danny McBride, Will Ferrell, Eastbound season 3 spoilers The big story to come out of HBO’s Eastbound & Down‘s appearance at PaleyFest 2011 on Thursday, 10th March is that the upcoming third season will be it’s last – but more on that later. First off, a bit of background on this comedy show. It [...]

I’m still on my Parks and Rec marathon, but NBC has already released their first promo for the third season. And as Rob Lowe confuses the girls at the Parks Department, NBC releases yet another promo, this timea combined promo for their best commedy day, Thursday, starting January 2011. Looks promising indeed, Community, Park and [...]

After listing my Best 5 New TV Series Of 2010, it’s time to check how the older and wiser series are doing. Of course it’s a tough call to make, as there are many good shows that are still on, and in some cases the more they’re here the harder it gets to really appreciate [...]

In the last two chapters of season 2, Eastbound brought Kenny Powers back home. It took Kenny a full 360 degrees adventure to realize he already has what he wants. He also said something similar on his recordings, although the use of Kenny’s recordings in season 2 was not as good as in season 1. [...]

Chapters 10 and 11 of the Kenny Powers’ story were full of surprising turning points, the two mainones would be Kenny’s meeting with his father (which explained why he chose Mexico in the first place), and the fact that Stevie was lying to Kenny about April and Cutler getting married. In episode 4 we saw [...]

After a weak second half of season 1, and an even weaker begining of season 2, it seems like Eastbound & Down has finally rediscovered its tone. Relocation is never easy, and at least in those two first episodes of season 2 we didn’t see too much bullshit going on. It wasn’t too funny or [...]

Welcome to the resistence -Kenny Powers After it was clear Kenny can’t make it on his own on Eastbound season 2 premiere, Stevie finds the way to him (following the credit card charges he believes to be breadcrumbs Kenny leaves him). Kenny is not very happy about it, and especially after Stevie tells him that [...]

I’m Kenny fucking Powers -Kenny Powers Season 2 of Eastbound & Down takes us all the way down to Mexico. After Eastbound‘s season 1 finale, in which Kenny left everything behind him, including the love of his life, so he won’t have to admit he failed again – he finds himself making money as a [...]

It is gonna get dark, isn’t it -Kenny Powers I’ve decided to make both chapters 5 and 6 recaps in one post, since I didn’t find much to say about chapter 5. It was the weakest episode of season 1 and there were not so many funny scenes or even dramatically interesting ones. So Kenny [...]

I’m sad, Dustin. I’m super super sad. -Kenny Powers As I suggested in my review for chapter 3 of Eastbound, chapter 4 was full of bad things happening to Kenny Powers. Obviously Kenny doesn’t understand the idea of subtext, and so he got very angry at April for not telling him about the BBQ Cutler [...]

If we take Eastbound season 1 as a 3-hour movie, the third chapter ends in the middle point. And indeed, at the end of this episode Kenny Powers is doing something he hasn’t done in years – he tries to do the right thing. So he sends his bet to the guy who bought it [...]

I really like how David Gordon Green builds the episodes in a way that one episodes continues exactly where the last one ended. At the end of episode 1 we saw Kenny and Tracy playing with Kenny’s toy (his jet-ski), Tracy being half naked and Kenny being an ass. Episode two begins with the two [...]

As I haven’t posted here any reviews on Eastbound & Down when the first two seasons aired on HBO, I’ve decided to write here the recaps for all the episodes before the third season begins. The first episode is in fact a prologue, and only at the end of it happens what will change Kenny [...]
