  • Editorial Review:
    In this hilarious new HBO comedy series, Kenny Powers, a washed-up former Major League Baseball star, is forced to return to his hometown to teach P.E. at his old middle school. While preparing for his triumphant return to the big leagues, Kenny moves in with his brothers family and proves adept at burning every bridge he crosses.

    Description of Eastbound & Down: The Complete First Season:
    Stepping up to the plate in this six-episode HBO series, comedy's newest It Boy, Danny McBride (The Foot Fist Way, Pineapple Express, Tropic Thunder), hits it out of the park as Kenny Powers, a former baseball phenom, who, after spending his millions and burning all bridges, returns to his high school to teach physical education. The delusional Powers (he still wears a mullet!) insists that he will return to the majors. Until then, he makes a play for his former high school flame (Katy Mixon), now an art teacher who is engaged to the boring, by-the-book principal (Andrew Daly). He runs roughshod over his brother and his disapproving wife (John Hawkes and Jennifer Irwin), who allow Powers to live with them and their children. He lures the idolizing nerdy band teacher to the dark side. Eastbound and Down has an odd sense of humor. To say that the foul-mouthed, substance-abusing Powers is "inappropriate" is an understatement. He makes Billy Bob Thornton's Bad Santa look like Edmund Gwenn in Miracle on 34th Street). When one of his students repeats his father's claim that Powers ruined baseball, Powers tells the class, "Anybody want to pick on anybody in class, aim for him, because I ain't watching."

    Eastbound and Down benefits from some big league talent. Will Ferrell, who helped get The Foot Fist Way into theatres, appears as a car salesman who wants to exploit what's left of Powers' celebrity with predictably disastrous results. Episodes were directed by McBride collaborator Jody Hill (Observe and Report), David Gordon Green (Superbad), and Ferrell's partner in comedy, Adam McKay (Talladega Nights, Anchorman). There are other obnoxious characters on television, but Kenny Powers is in a league of his own, and he may take some warming up to. But McBride imbues this extreme character with an uncompromised integrity that is oddly admirable. Despite what his brother tells him at one point, Powers is someone you like being around. --Donald Liebenson

    Eastbound & Down: The Complete First Season Reviews:
    Exactly what I wanted. 5 Star Review
    2009-10-19 - this is exactly what i was looking for. it was a great buy because of the good price and great quality. definately recommend this.

    Pathetic 1 Star Review
    2009-10-18 - There are people like this in the world, but none that anyone wants to be associated with on even an every now and then basis. The whole series was painful to watch and it is easy to see why the series was cancelled.

    Must See 5 Star Review
    2009-10-13 - Danny McBride should be a house-hold name after Eastbound and Down. I'm almost glad that i had never heard of it until it came out on DVD, because I think the anticipation between weeks on HBO would have drove me insane. Now, I can watch all 6 episodes whenever i want and never stop laughing at this man. The second series comes out in January I believe.

    EastBound and Down is hilarious 5 Star Review
    2009-10-03 - East Bound and Down is hilarious and i cant wait for the second season in the beginning of 2010.

    Comedy at its finest. 5 Star Review
    2009-10-03 - Ill sum it up short and simple.. This show is pure genius. Very Smokey and the Bandit type comedy in a tv-series.
    Just get it and love it.
