Eastbound and Down - "Chapter 5" - 3/15/09

"Chapter 5"
Spoiler:
Convinced he's lost his stuff, Kenny decides to give up his comeback dreams and move on as a working stiff--but his resolve is tested by arrogant car dealer Ashley Schaeffer and his new pet celebrity, a major-league arch-nemesis named Reg Mackworthy.

I can't believe more people aren't talking about this show.

I had high expectations and it managed to exceed them.

Part of me wishes it was an hour-long show.

Reminds me a little bit of Trailer Park Boys

I didn't watch the show until last night when I watched all 5 episodes. I fucking love it. Funny, funny shit. The love interest went from chubby(which is fine by me) to smoking hot. She must have had to stick her finger down her throat a lot. I hope this show is renewed and I hope they keep the format where they start off each episode exactly where they left off.

It still cracks me up how he throws like a girl. You would think someone who would seemingly be into baseball, would have at least a decent throwing motion.

Yeah I noticed that at the end when he was throwing at everything, throws like a girl.

Very good episode - however Stevie whacking it at the start was unnecessary IMO.

For some reason I was laughing my ass off when Stevie (the music teacher) said that he had a cracked version of some audio program.

yeah, Kenny Powers is great, but Stevie has the best lines, by far.

^ LOL, that line was my favorite of his, too. Stevie irked me a bit in the first episode or two, but he has quickly become one of my favorite things about the show.

He and his buddies who created the show admit they know squat about baseball, aren't really fans, or play, etc. The concept was just about "a failed egomaniac major sports star" and they figured his body type could pass as a baseball player easier than football or basketball.

I'm curious to see how the season ends since that ep seemed like a finale.

He definitely has the Rod Beck look, body wise.

Yes the Shooter. Craig Robinson's character is Cecil Fielder.

This show is awesome, my brother and I easily watch episodes over twice or three times, it's that funny I think.
